    A taste of Native American Heritage Month

    The coming days will bring us two dining events in conjunction with Native American Heritage Month: Nov. 14 at the Milwaukee Public Museum and Nov. 18 at the Ivy House. We talk about both at the top of this episode, but here’s a little more about the two dinners. First up is the meal at the museum — part of its full month of Native American Heritage Month programming. Ketapanen Kitchen, the first Indigenous pop-up kitchen and catering company in Chicago, will do the cooking for the event, which starts at 5:30 p.m. and includes a variety of flavors: Harvest saladBraised bison with blackberry moleSage and sumac roasted chickenManoomin wild rice, berries and mapleRoasted brussels sprouts with squash and cranberriesPumpkin cornbreadChantilly cream cake with Medicine BerriesSeasonal lemonadeExecutive Chef Jessica Walks First (Pamonicutt) of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin is Ketapanen Kitchen’s co-founder and will also speak at the event, as well as the one that follows a few days later. At the Ivy House on Nov. 18, the experience will get adjusted slightly to a Native American Heritage Tasting Dinner. Organized by Marquette Law School’s Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education in partnership with the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center, the evening will include dishes from local chefs, as well as insight from special guests Chef Walks First and Chef Elena Terry. Here’s what else is happening in Milwaukee’s food scene: Gene’s Supper Club on the River has returned to Barnacle Bud’s after a successful run last winter.Local food truck Lily Bell’s will open the doors of its brick-and-mortar location this Friday at 8560 W. Brown Deer Rd.Ann’s latest batch of Dining Tidbits includes an ode to South Side burger joint Mazos, which ended its 90-year run in September.

    Sad news about Hot Dish Pantry, plus a Battle of the Chefs and a buzzy Malay restaurant

    Raining on our parade to start this episode is Hot Dish Pantry — or, more accurately, the folks who own the building that Hot Dish Pantry calls home. HDP owners Laura Maigatter and Nathan Heck explained on social media that a recent real-estate decision to open a new restaurant gave them a push toward something they had been thinking about for a little while now. “To be very clear, we are not being forced out,” they shared. “We had been weighing this decision for some time and the circumstances lined up to make our decision a little easier. We are excited for the new owners to begin this journey and wish them nothing but the best. We know the neighborhood will welcome them with open arms.” The Milwaukee area will have just a couple weeks to enjoy wonderful pierogi, pork-tenderloin sandwiches and Lucy Goosey burger. Hot Dish Pantry will be open until 8 p.m. every day between now and their final service Sept. 28. In happier news: Tickets are on sale now for the eighth annual Battle of the Chefs MKE, which goes down Oct. 6 at the Milwaukee Athletic Club.Ann rounded up a fresh batch of Dining Tidbits for the magazine, including a new donut shop in Sheboygan and an elixir that might come in handy after a late night out.Mom’s Kitchen is opening on Lincoln Avenue. Not your mom’s kitchen, though, unless your mom is Aseya Osman. Produced and Edited by Marcus Doucette

    Serious Dumplings, Top Chef's Tom Colicchio and food politics

    By the end of this month, the Milwaukee area will have a promising new option when Serious Dumplings — a small chain that up until now was limited to five locations in Florida — opens on Mayfair Road in Wauwatosa. The new spot just north of the Milwaukee County Zoo will fill a glaring hole spotted by sharp folks like myself and Journal Sentinel dining critic Rachel Bernhard: a high-quality dim sum parlor. A quick look at Serious Dumplings’ menu reveals a solid dim sum section, plus the restaurant’s titular dumplings, noodles and rice, and other items I’ll be curious to try when it starts serving Sept. 27. Our other topic du jour happens Sept. 22, when Chucho’s Red Tacos hosts the inaugural Pho 1 Pho Contest and B-Boy Battle. I mean, the Pho face-off is one thing, but combining it with a breakdancing competition just isn’t fair. The event is a team-up among Chucho’s, ElevAsian and SapSap, and will feature a roster of local restaurants vying for the title of Milwaukee’s best Pho. Plus breakdancing. That’s a tough slice of food news to top, but we press on:Victory Garden Initiative will hold its end-of-season block party Sept. 21, and this year it doubles as a 15-year anniversary celebration.It seems like Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio just left Wisconsin, and now he’s coming back Oct. 14 to sit down with Paul Bartolotta for a special night at the Riverside Theater.Elections aren’t our territory, but food definitely is, and Senator Tammy Baldwin had something to say to President Biden about getting Wisconsin meats and cheeses to international markets.
