What most excites him about 2024 in Milwaukee?
Conventions, events and sports victories! Milwaukee continues to be a top choice for many companies and organizations nationwide. This summer, the city proudly hosts the Republican National Convention, Simpleview, Connect, Northwestern Mutual and many more.
What are some of his must-do's?
Recognized as the City of Festivals, this year’s lineup of annual celebrations is one of the largest and most diverse yet. From Summerfest, the world’s largest music festival, to the state’s largest Pride celebration at PrideFest, one of the biggest gatherings of Irish and Celtic culture at Irish Fest, and the over half-century celebration of Hispanic heritage at Mexican Fiesta, there’s always something to celebrate in Milwaukee.
What makes Milwaukee a world-class destination?
As for what he feels makes Milwaukee a great place on a Great Lake, the Mayor noted the lakefront, museums, awardwinning restaurants and distinctive neighborhoods. "Explore the city! You will find Milwaukee's true character in places like our local shopping districts and parks. As you traverse our destination, you'll find Milwaukee is a city where walking and biking are easy with hidden gems around every corner."

An Insider's Guide to Summerfest
SARAH PANCHERIPresident & CEO, Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. & VISIT Milwaukee Board Chair
What surpises first-time Summerfest attendees?
"With 75 acres featuring permanent stages, restaurants and so much more along the shores of Lake Michigan, Henry Maier Festival Park is a world-class setting for live music in Milwaukee.
We offer 12 stages of diverse entertainment over nine days with a single-day admission cost of $28, and admission promotions supporting local charities to make the fest even more accessible."
What are some of your favorite fest foods?
"Our 30+ local food vendors are innovative, so my favorites change every year. During the last festival season, I loved the empanadas from La Masa, macaroni and cheese pizza from Ian’s Pizza, and the famous Mozzarella Marina from Saz’s. I have also been known to take down a bag of fresh kettle corn in one sitting."
Any tips or tricks for fans looking to experience the best of the fest?
"Here are a few pro tips for your next Summerfest: Come early and enjoy 12 hours of music. Then, start at one end of the grounds and stop at every stage for a few songs. You never know who you’ll see, and you may even discover a new favorite artist. Artists like Charli XCX, Black Pumas, Twenty One Pilots, Robert Randolph & the Family Band and SOFI TUKKER are just a few I've discovered roaming stages around the grounds. Finally, be sure to use the path that runs along the lakeshore. Not only will you catch great views of downtown and the water, but it’s also usually the fastest route."

Rev Your Engines!
Alongside the QWERTY keyboard, the Harley-Davidson motorcycle has spread the good word about the Good Land to every corner of the globe.
The 121 year-old company, now synonymous with motorcycle culture, started with a dream to tame the open road in 1903.
William Harley and Arthur Davidson grew up just a few houses apart in Milwaukee, and a lifelong friendship was born on the Near West Side. Both were passionate about bicycles. William found a job at a Milwaukee-based bicycle factory, quickly rising from the rank of cycle fitter to dra er, leading him to the Barth Manufacturing Company where he designed his first internal combustion engine.
William and Arthur continued to work nonstop on their new idea. They reached out to Arthur's older brother, Walter, for more help. Walter arrived expecting to see a motorcycle but instead was met with a mechanical mess. He also saw a dream. So, he decided to join the two to make William and Arthur's dream a reality. Then, William A. Davidson, Arthur and Walter's eldest brother, also a mechanic, joined the trio. By 1904, they had successfully completed a second prototype, which they entered into a motorcycle race.
THE HARLEY-DAVIDSON MUSEUM AND CAMPUS
Two all-new retail stores, a greatly enhanced Experience Gallery and a year-round event building have reshaped and revved up the world’s only Harley-Davidson Museum campus!

Ghost City
Like most history-rich cities, Milwaukee has a number of landmarks said to be haunted by lingering spirits of the past. Here are the most high-profile places for you to try and make contact.
SHAKER'S CIGAR BAR
Recently named one of "America’s 5 Most Haunted Bars" by The Huffington Post and chosen as one of the most haunted restaurants in the country by Thrillist, it's no secret that the spirits at Shaker's don't stop at the bar. The friendly, knowledgeable tour guides hold nightly in-house ghost tours and three seasonal, one-of-a-kind walking tours.
PABST MANSION
Beer baron Frederick Pabst was one of the city’s wealthiest men and spared no expense on his home. When the family settled into the mansion in 1892, it boasted nine fully plumbed bathrooms as well as electrical and heating systems, making it one of the most advanced homes in the area. In 2010, a volunteer spent two months interviewing staff and visitors — collecting paranormal tales. Multiple responses included stories about doors opening and closing, rattling chandeliers and various objects falling to the floor. One witness reported feeling a chilly breeze that rendered her legs immobile. Another described the perfumed aroma of an invisible entity walking beside her. Each October, you can experience these thrills and chills for yourself when the mansion hosts its "Illuminating the Dark" tour, allowing visitors to explore the unseen spaces around the dimly lit Pabst homestead.
MORE CHILLING EXPERIENCES
For more haunting adventures and spooky stories, explore the eerie side of Milwaukee with City Tours MKE.

A TASTE OF IN MILWAUKEE Germany
Old-world flavors meet first-class hospitality at these restaurants, the standard-bearers for Milwaukee's German heritage.
MADER’S GERMAN RESTAURANT
Opened in March 1902, Mader’s has been owned and operated by the same family for over 120 years, making it the oldest restaurant downtown. When they first opened, they were mostly a local bar. A stein of beer was three cents, two steins for a nickel. The classic German fare Mader's is known for arrived later a er the founder convinced his wife to make authentic dishes to complement the drinks. The restaurant is famous for its rich Bavarian decor, which includes suits of armor and stained glass, most from the Middle Ages.
This Milwaukee treasure doesn’t disappoint with its largely unchanged menu of authentic favorites like pork shank, wiener schnitzel, savory strudels and so much more. Presidents including Kennedy, Ford and Reagan have all dined on the same offerings you can enjoy today. The third and fourth generations of Mader's are now working in the restaurant, keeping this local legend thriving for generations to come.
KEGEL’S INN
Born in Austria in 1892, John T. Kegel immigrated to the United States in 1911. A er working as a trimmer and milkman, John was convinced by a long-time friend to open a prohibition-era speakeasy under the guise of a so drink parlor, serving customers home-brewed beer and whiskey. With the help of the leaded stained-glass windows, guests could relax and unwind, safe from any prying eyes.
In 1933, a er completing the new full-service restaurant, "Kegel's Inn" opened on August 26 to a warm celebration. Known as "the largest tavern built since the return of beer," Kegel's Inn quickly became one of the most popular places to get married in Milwaukee. Today, the bar and restaurant continues to honor its rich heritage through delectable German fare to customers looking for a warm and friendly atmosphere. Homemade German favorites and a sensational Friday fish fry continue to draw visitors from far and wide.
BAVARIAN BIERHAUS (FORMERLY BAVARIAN INN)
Nestled in Old Heidelberg Park, the Bavarian Bierhaus traces its roots back to the 1920s when the German Clubs of Milwaukee leased land on North Port Washington Road. The park, soccer fields and clubhouse were completed in 1967. Since then, the site has been host to a massive Oktoberfest celebration every September.
In 2016, the Bavarian Bierhaus re-opened the space once occupied by the Bavarian Inn. It now features a bierhall, a brewery and multiple indoor and outdoor dining and event spaces.
MIDWEST Capital of the CULINARY
PEOPLE ARE EATING THIS TOWN UP!
It’s official: Midwest Living magazine named Milwaukee the Best Culinary City in the publication’s annual Best of the Midwest list for 2023. Once known for delectable Midwestern staples like sausages, custards and curds, the city's robust dining scene has added to its culinary roster a complex and satisfying array of dining options inspired by flavors from all over the globe. In 2023 alone, the James Beard Foundation recognized four local chefs and restaurants for their outstanding contributions to the flourishing Milwaukee culinary scene.
Some of that recognition went to the fusion of Spanish and Portuguese flavors that awaken the palate at Amilinda. Chef Gregory Leon combines creativity and deliciousness for new and popular dishes like the sushi burrito. The menu changes frequently, so there’s always something new to savor.
As James Beard Foundation's Best Chef in the Midwest in 2022, Dane Baldwin of The Diplomat cra s a mouthwatering menu of culinary creations he describes as "just fancy enough" — dishes o en rooted in comfort or family foods but presented in a modern way. This cozy neighborhood restaurant surprises with its unique offerings and flavors like the chicken confit.
The tastes of the Mediterranean come alive at Lupi & Iris. Chef Adam Siegel and architect Michael DeMichele have joined forces to integrate their passions for fine food with inspired plates, including branzino and pavlova.
For the second year running, the owners of Black Shoe Hospitality, Jason Kerstein, Joe Muench and Dan Snider were recognized as semifinalists in James Beard's Outstanding Restauranteur category. The restaurant group operates Blue's Egg, a brunch favorite, as well as Maxie's, Story Hill BKC and Buttermint Finer Dining & Cocktails
The James Beard Foundation also bestowed plenty of other Milwaukee honors in 2022. Not only was Kyle Knall a semifinalist for the national Outstanding Chef award, but his restaurant Birch also made the New York Times' The Restaurant List in 2023, highlighting 50 of the best restaurants in the country. Odd Duck was also named a semifinalist for Outstanding Restaurant. Karen Bell of Bavette La Boucherie was a 2022 Best Chef: Midwest finalist. Dan Jacobs and Dan Van Rite of EsterEv were semifinalists for the award for the second consecutive year.

DANE BALDWIN
CHEF & OWNER OF THE DIPLOMAT
Dane Baldwin is the chef and owner of The Diplomat in Milwaukee’s Lower East Side neighborhood, and the 2022 James Beard Foundation’s Best Chef in the Midwest. Bringing approachable American fare with flare, Baldwin shared his thoughts on what makes the city’s culinary landscape so unique right now:
“ Milwaukee is home to a rich collective of independent restaurants, food trucks and other concepts driven by heart and soul. The city seems to be getting more attention than ever from conventions, national write-ups and celebrities leaving their hotel rooms to enjoy what the city has to o er. ”
As for his favorite places to grab a bite, Baldwin says there’s a wide array of dining options any time of day. “For breakfast, we love Café at the Plaza and Jo’s Café. If it’s just me on the go, Rocket Baby Dinner opens a whole new array of great choices. Goodkind, La Casa De Alberto, Ristorante BARTOLOTTA dal 1993 and Bavette La Boucherie (great for lunch, too), to name just a few. Dessert for us is o en custard, and we don’t have a lack of choices. My wife, Anna, being from Bay View, is a Leon's person and me, I’m team Kopp’s… but if we can’t decide on either, we o en go with Gille’s.”

DAN JACOBS
CHEF & CO-OWNER OF DANDAN AND ESTEREV
Chefs, co-owners and fellow Dans, Dan Jacobs and his partner, Dan Van Rite, operate DanDan and EsterEv. Named a er the two chefs and co-owners, DanDan opened its doors in 2016 and, shortly a er that, opened EsterEv in tribute to their great-grandmothers.
Jacobs is a four-time James Beard semifinalist known for blending Midwestern flavors with globally inspired dishes. He gave his take on the mouthwatering wonderland Milwaukee has become and a few of his faves.
“ Milwaukee used to be known for beers and bratwursts — that's it. Now, we're starting to see an evolution into quality Midwest food from James Beard Award-winning chefs who have experience in kitchens all over the world. People are starting to see us come out of Chicago's shadow, and we’re excited for the national attention we will get as the destination for a popular American culinary show.”
As for his favorite local restaurants, Jacobs says he’s very much a creature of habit. “I don't do breakfast much, but when I do, my go-to is Toast or Cafe at the Plaza. For dinner, we can always count on Goodkind, Birch, Tenuta's, Lupi & Iris or Five O’Clock Steakhouse for an A+ meal. But when I'm in the mood for a dive spot, my go-to's are Vanguard or Uncle Wolfie’s.

Juan Urbieta's
SOPITOS DE COLIMA
Juan Urbieta serves as executive chef of Ristorante BARTOLOTTA dal 1993, the flagship restaurant in The BARTOLOTTA Restaurants' portfolio. For more than 20 years, Urbieta has been a key driver in the company’s success, securing multiple awards for Ristorante BARTOLOTTA dal 1993, including DiRoNA (Distinguished Restaurants of North America) honors, Wine Spectator’s “Award of Excellence” (annually since 2003) and a “25 Best Italian Restaurants in America” ranking by Thrillist while maintaining an exemplary level of quality that defines The BARTOLOTTA Restaurants. In 2020, Urbieta launched the “Un Viaggio in Italia” (“Tour of Italy”) series that takes guests on a culinary tour of Italy with a new menu introduced about every four weeks.
Urbieta’s father was born and raised in Colima, a state in western Mexico. He became a pilot, and the airline he worked for sent him to live in Oaxaca, which was serendipitous because that’s where he met Urbieta’s mother and raised a family. But Colima continued to figure heavily in the family’s lives. They spent holidays there. It gets so hot in Colima, Urbieta says, that people would eat lightly during the day. At night, when it cooled down, they would eat a popular street food called sopes. Simple and bursting with warm meat and crisp cabbage and radish, this dish also prominently features an aromatic broth made with tomatoes and oregano and a tortilla fried somewhere between crisp and soft — it’s just starting to get crispy. They call that “sampochado,” Urbieta says. These open-faced creations have the tortilla at the base, followed by the beef cooked in that broth, and a little more broth spooned over the top, soaking the sopes. Finally come the toppings — the cabbage, radish and homemade pickled peppers with onions and carrots.
They enjoy it monthly in the Urbieta household — made extra meaningful since the passing of his dad in 2019. “It’s very dear because it brings me fond memories of my father,” he says. “And not just my dad. I [think of] growing up as a kid … those Christmases with my family over there going to the beach.”
INGREDIENTS
20 small corn tortillas (yellow or white)
2 pounds ground beef
1 pound ripe tomatoes
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds (or 1/8 teaspoon ground)
1 teaspoon dried oregano, divided in half
1/4 head of cabbage, finely shredded
8 small radishes, sliced
Vegetable oil as needed to fry the tortillas
FOR THE BROTH
Bring 1 quart of water to a boil, add the tomatoes and cook them until soft but not mushy, about 7-8 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the tomatoes into a blender, along with 3 cups of the hot cooking liquid.
Add the salt, peppercorns, cumin and half of the dried oregano to the blender. Blend on high for one minute. Pour the liquid into a pot, add the ground beef with the remaining oregano and bring to a simmer. Allow the beef to cook for about 10 minutes. Then, set it aside, but keep it warm.
FOR THE TORTILLAS
Heat up about a half-inch of corn oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully add three or four tortillas at a time, depending on the width of the pan, making sure they don’t overlap. Allow to lightly brown on both sides, about 8 to 10 seconds per side as they cook very fast. Transfer to a tray lined with food-grade paper towels to absorb excess oil and continue with the rest of the tortillas. The tortillas should be between soft and crunchy in texture.
FOR ASSEMBLING
Arrange five tortillas on each plate, and with a slotted spoon, add a heaping amount of beef onto each sope. Top the beef with shredded cabbage, then add a generous amount of broth over each sope. Finish with sliced radishes and grated cotija cheese, and serve immediately.
Because this is a street food and it’s messy to eat, fold each sope like a taco and eat with your fingers, then use a spoon for the sauce. Local restaurants typically offer house-made pickled serrano peppers with onions and carrots, as well as bottles of Valentina sauce on the table for those who like them spicy.

Ruta Kahate's
DEVIL'S DUNG POTATOES
A er living in India and California, Ruta Kahate and her family relocated to Milwaukee in 2019. In addition to running cafes in Goa, India, she operated a cooking school and taught cooking classes at venues such as Sur La Table while based on the West Coast. Kahate has hosted culinary tours to India, helping chefs and serious foodies cook and eat their way through the country. An established cookbook author, Kahate is also the owner of Ruta’s Fresh Indian Fare in Walker’s Point.
The compelling name for this next dish was inspired by the Indian spice asafoetida. It comes from a plant that, well, smells bad. It also imparts a strong flavor, rather like onion or garlic. “Devil’s dung” is another name for this odoriferous ingredient, and a little of it goes a long way. Kahate uses it here — a generous amount, no less — in place of onion and garlic and, with some other simple spices, finds it exceptionally comforting in this warm potato dish. It also resonates with her family. “These are potatoes that I've made for many years," she says. "In fact, my husband still talks about them, and we’ve been married forever. If he’d come in late from work or travel or something, he’d be like, ‘Oh, make those potatoes,’ so it does speak of comfort. And I mean, potatoes first of all, right? That's comfort in itself. And then, made simply like this. So, it’s very much a staple in the house.” Eating a big bowl of it for breakfast or lunch on a particularly overcast day is just the thing, she says. Since at a certain time of year, there are plenty of days like that in Milwaukee, you may just be making Devil’s Dung Potatoes more o en than you’d think.
From 6 Spices 60 Dishes: Indian Recipes That Are Simple, Fresh, and Big on Taste by
Ruta Kahate, © 2023. Published by Chronicle Books.INGREDIENTS
4 large russet potatoes
2 tablespoons ghee or canola oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1⁄2 teaspoon asafoetida
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 cup water
1 green chile, quartered lengthwise
1 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
DIRECTIONS
Place the potatoes in a pan with water to cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside, covered, for another 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and wait until they’re cool enough to handle. Peel and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Heat the ghee in a wok over medium heat and add the cumin seeds. When they’re done sputtering, in quick succession, add the asafoetida, turmeric and the cubed potatoes. Stir for a couple of minutes, allowing the potatoes to color a bit. Add a quarter-cup of the water and deglaze the pan, scraping up any potatoes that have stuck to the bottom of the wok. Add the remaining 3/4 cup of water, the chile, and salt, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to low, mash a few of the potato cubes — this thickens the curry a bit — and simmer, covered, for about 5 minutes. Serve immediately. Chef Tip: "I like to serve this with grilled tofu squares dusted with coriander and turmeric."
INSTANT POT PREPARATION
First, boil the potatoes in the Instant Pot. Place the potatoes with water to cover in the pot and pressure cook for 10 minutes. Quick-release the pressure, then cool, peel, and cut the potatoes. Wipe out the insert and use the sauté function to proceed with the rest of the recipe.
PRO TIP
Turmeric is Kahate’s “secret ingredient.” Say you’re roasting vegetables: “Throw a little in it. You don't have to put in so much that everything is yellow.” But add it to whatever spices you're already putting in, whether it’s just salt and pepper or something assertive like rosemary. “You’re not only going to make your table more vibrant, your gut will thank you.”

Emmanuel Corona's
HUEVOS RANCHEROS
Originally a resident of Puebla and Mexico City, longtime chef Emmanuel Corona garnered his culinary skills from various sources. His first introduction to food was watching his grandmother and mother cook. It was in those years that he learned the art of making mole poblano and mole negro, among other traditional favorites from the area. Corona and Peggy Magister began working together at her first restaurant in Cedarburg, The Fork Café. A er five years, he followed her to Crazy Water, where he slowly incorporated many of his Mexican flavors into the menu. A er 20 years, he and Peggy worked together to create La Dama Mexican Kitchen and Bar, where he is now the head chef and owner.
In Emmanuel Corona’s life, three places are particularly meaningful – Mexico City, where he was born; San Luis Potosi, where he lived for part of his childhood; and Milwaukee, where he took much of what he learned in Mexico and built a culinary career and home. Many of the dishes Corona has on his menu now at La Dama are ones he enjoyed as a child. “We would make mole, mole paste for the whole week and those [ayocotes] beans [an heirloom variety that originated in central Mexico] that I use over here, too. Those are, like, really typical” of the places where he grew up.
In their tiny kitchen, young Corona watched these women work. His grandma made blood sausage by hand. She and his mother both made masa cakes steamed in corn husks (tamales) and the egg, ham, and tortilla dish o en eaten at breakfast (huevos rancheros). The family would push carts of their homemade tamales around Mexico City, selling the savory handheld meals. When they moved to San Luis Potosi, his mother’s hometown, Corona had his first taste of enchiladas potosinas, which look more like empanadas, and fell in love. Huevos rancheros is the very first thing Corona learned how to make. His mother taught him because it was an easy, delicious dish to keep him and his brothers fed when she wasn’t home. For Corona, the dish is home. It is childhood.
