    Dumplings at The Wolf, Wild Bearies and more

    Everyone loves dumplings. So everyone should also love the first news item in this episode: dumpling-making classes at The Wolf. These opportunities for delicious instruction are no joke. Chef Kristin Schwab set up a couple for December, and both of them sold out so fast that the restaurant decided to make them a monthly affair all throughout 2025. We break down this very cool experience, which you can register for right now (even the one next December if you’re the type who likes to plan ahead) on The Wolf website. There’s another website you can visit for more details on a couple other things we discuss on this episode. Milwaukee Magazine just posted Ann's great interview with Wild Bearies founder Elena Terry, a member of the Ho-Chunk nation and expert on indigenous cuisine, Terry landed a well-earned spot on the Wisconsin-centric season of Top Chef and told Ann in the full Q&A, “I know for myself, to be considered on that level, an expert – it’s been a long time coming.”  Milwaukee Magazine also has Ann's latest Dish of the Month: katsudon from Todd I Believe I Can Fry (2159 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.). The Japanese staple is built around a panko-breaded pork cutlet, and Ann’s affection for it is very obvious — both in her vivid description on the podcast and her story at Milwaukee Magazine. Believe it or not, we also have something NOT from the magazine to wrap up this episode. It’s the very good news that the much-loved Chucho’s Red Tacos will join the Diverse Dining Market (250 W. Wisconsin Ave.) every Tuesday. We're big supporters of birria tacos, and it’s great to have places like Chucho’s serving them up around Milwaukee.

    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.

    Real service from Kinship Cafe, cookbooks, dive bars and more

    This episode starts with the news that Kinship Cafe is bringing services way beyond food and drink to ThriveOn King, the community hub located on MLK Drive between Lloyd and Garfield. The big difference-maker for the soon-to-open spot is its association with Kinship Community Food Center. The cafe will be a gathering place that serves healthy meals like sandwiches, bowls and salads. But it’ll also operate in conjunction with the center’s workforce training program, which provides opportunities to people who might otherwise struggle to find employment. Taken together, everything about Kinship Cafe will happen in service to the center’s mission “to end hunger, isolation and poverty.” That’s a pretty lofty place to start this episode, which continues with some not quite as high-minded food news from around Milwaukee: The latest issue of Milwaukee Magazine delves into Erin Clarke’s new cookbook, Well-Plated Everyday, as well as the pasta flights at Dorsia.After a relatively brief time away, Pizza Man is back at the Downer Avenue location it previously occupied for about a decade.Also after a relatively brief time period, North Avenue Market has shut down for good.

    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
