We're extremely proud of our exceptionally high standards for images on our site. Joe, in addition to being a licensed funeral director, is also a professional photographer who specializes in food -- he is the de facto menu and event photographer for a number of Milwaukee's hottest restaurants (which, by the way, we do NOT review, so as to eliminate any conflict of interests... ahem). We have a strict policy: no eating until Joe gets the right shot. Here's the rig we use for photos:
Main body: Nikon D7000
Backup body: Nikon D70s
All the glass we use is Nikon (I know, I'm a snob) Here's what's in my bag:
10-24mm zoom
24mm f/1.4
35mm f/1.8G (I like this focal length best for food)
50mm f/1.8G
50mm f/1.4
55-300mm zoom
Strobist info: We use on-camera, off camera, bounce and available light -- giving away our exact methods would be like a magician explaining their tricks...
Stock photos may be used for section headers. All design is done by the Eating Milwaukee staff, and we will never use an image without proper copyright clearances. We get almost all of our stock photos from the stock.xchng. Historic photos are usually from family archives or Shorpy.com
Proud to be an original member of #MKEFoodies!

About Us
Eating Milwaukee is a food blog devoted to the best of Milwaukee's restaurants, specializing in off-the-beaten-path and ethnic foods. We're a group of food enthusiasts who love sampling new and interesting cuisines, and finding those hidden gems that our city is filled with. We eat without prejudice, and pledge to report honestly and with integrity.
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.
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...
