This week, we reveal some of the secrets of our culinary adventures around Milwaukee. And by that we mean we're sharing a few of the city's fantastic secret menu items, including the hush-hush "Carolina" Negroni and off-menu Cacio E Pepe at Calenzo. We also reveal the location of delicious pork tacos at Cloud Red and the rotating "secret handshake menu" at Braise Restaurant. Find those and a few more over at the very not-secretive Milwaukee Magazine website.
Something that's definitely not on the down low is the new Wicked-themed pop-up at Onesto (221 N. Broadway) from Nov. 24 through Dec. 1 (with a day off for Thanksgiving). This 21+ event features photo opportunities, appetizers, a chocolate fountain and cocktails like the popular Dubai chocolate espresso martini that "sparkle, smoke and shine."
Plus, get ready for Mosaic International Bistro, which will replace Allure MKE and serve globally inspired tapas like Nigerian jollof rice. We also look forward to the launch of The Conroy’s modern supper club dining series, complete with Wagyu carpaccio, dry-aged meatballs, and a fancy "Bubbles and Bumps" happy hour (caviar and champagne); and then we say goodbye to Ouzo Cafe, which closed after 21 years but will continue its catering services.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
