Eating Milwaukee: The Triumphant Return of Eating Milwaukee

About Our Methods

At Eating Milwaukee, we try our best to adhere to the ad-hoc Food Blog Code of Ethics, which is itself a version of the very official and very serious (no laughing!) Association of Food Journalists Food Critics' Guidlines. We're very proud of our strong reputation as a fair and honest restaurant-based food blog.

We review restaurants based on a few basic ground rules:

1) No chains.

We will not review chains. We eat at chains, we even like some chains, but we won't review them. Multiple locations of the same small business don't count.

2) Smaller is better.

We like dives. We like clean dives even more.

3) Culture rules.

There is no cuisine that is off-limits with us. We're foodies, we like it all. With a few small exceptions, we'll try almost anything twice.

4) Don't take our word for it.

Get out there and support local Milwaukee businesses!

5) We may inform the folks at the restaurant about the blog -- but, if we can, after we eat. We don't like the idea of anyone knowing about the review before we get our food... in case of, you know... tampering. Although it's pretty hard to keep a low profile when you have a huge camera on the table, and your flash keeps going off taking pictures of the chicken soup...

The Triumphant Return of Eating Milwaukee

I know, I know, I know.

It has been over two months since we've posted a new review, and that's completely my fault. Well, not entirely.

We here at Eating Milwaukee have had a bit of a run of bad luck lately, with some family challenges, job loss, new jobs, housing loss, new apartments, and the occasional cat-related disaster:

But enough of excuses...

We'll have some new reviews up for all of you who haven't forgotten us, and for those of you celebrity followers (you know who you are, cough, cough) we'd like to thank you for taking the time to read our humble, less-than-consistently-updated blog!

We recently took a field trip to El Paisa in Bayside, and the review *should* be posted by this time tomorrow, barring hell, high water, or a hot date (my money is on the high water). They had some fantastic home-made guac:
