OFF THE
CUFF WITH CAITLIN CULLEN
TEACHING AND FEEDING THE COMMUNITY THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC BY JEAN-GABRIEL FERNANDEZ
The Tandem (1848 W. Fond Du Lac Ave.), a Milwaukee restaurant which serves farm-fresh comfort food made from scratch, is Caitlin Cullen’s way to give back to the community. Cullen, who started her career as a high school teacher in Detroit and then in the Dominican Republic, found the education system to be “very flawed.” She made the gamble to become a cook, eventually putting her at the helm of one very exciting little restaurant. Off the Cuff caught up with her, and she agreed to share her experience as a restaurateur and educator in these troubled times.
