Our weekly delicious dive into Milwaukee's culinary scene gets a splash of mash-up on this episode, as Ann shares her review of IVR Bar — that's "International Variety Restaurant," by the way, and the new eatery comes by that title honestly. The ambitious project is a sports bar capable of seating 300 people, which all sounds pretty standard ... until you get to the Indian-Mexican fusion part.
On top of that, Ann got the chance to chat with Milwaukee Wine Academy founders Tim Cole and Dr. Jeffrey Coleman, who have the oh-so-friendly goal of making wine approaching for everyone (particularly women and people of color) through cool events.
And it wouldn't be a This Bites episode without a weekly roundup, which this time around hits the proposed Axolotl Cafe that's aiming to bring American-Mexican brunch fare to Bay View this fall. Ann and Tarik stay in that neighborhood for Outlaw Oyster's second location inside Crafty Cow, and head downward just a bit more to talk about South Side Dining Week's return in September.
