Crazy Kitchens

I spotted this article in Milwaukee Magazine today and it provides a peek into the kitchens of some of my favorite Milwaukee restaurants. It's long, but fun if you're into the Milwaukee restaurant scene.

A huge transformation is also happening at the Wyndham Hotel — a redesign that brought restaurateur Marc Bianchini on board. His consulting business, On the Marc Restaurant Group, created the menu for the new Wyndham restaurant kil@wat. A native New Yorker, Bianchini moved to Milwaukee to open Osteria del Mondo in the mid-1990s. Two children and another restaurant, Cubanitas (operated by his wife, Marta), followed.
Joe and I haven't eaten at kil@wat yet but the newly designed lobby is a great place to go and have a drink. It's comfortable and quiet and accommodates a large group.

Also, if you haven't tried Cubanitas yet, you really should. It's pretty inexpensive but the food is really interesting and yummy.

I read the article while I was at your house last week, it was a good read and fun to know a bit more about what goes on behind the scenes in restaurants. FYI, Barossa was mentioned in the article and that is where BadgerBoy and I went for our anniversary dinner. It was GREAT - everything we had that night was delicious. Dad especially loved the butternut squash soup. Milwaukee is a great city for restaurants. You could go to a different, good restaurant every weekend for a year (more or less)!
