·16 min·1 clip

A Mediterranean restaurant focusing on Turkish cuisine, a four-cuisine fusion spot, and the 13th annual Fondy Farm Feast are all coming to Milwaukee.

Ann Christenson and Tariq Moody open the episode by introducing three main topics: a new Mediterranean restaurant, a four-cuisine fusion restaurant, and the Fondy Farm Feast. They begin with details about the Fondy Farm Feast, an August 18th event at the Fondy Farm in the Mequon Nature Preserve featuring seven courses from chefs like Ikea Courtney and Mary Kastman. The hosts joke about never being invited to host, referencing Derek Mosley. They then discuss Mediterranean Cuisine, a restaurant opening at 753 North Water Street by Chef Ender Erk, focusing on Turkish dishes like Adana kebab and offering hummus, lamb chops, and baklava. Next, they cover IVR Bar, a Northwest side restaurant fusing Mexican, Indian, Italian, and Chinese cuisines, with dishes like butter chicken masala and enchiladas, owned by Akpaksa Patel. Finally, Ann reviews Room Service, a Thai-Japanese restaurant in Bayview, describing its attractive dining room, dishes like Hung Lay short rib and a three-tier tower with papaya salad, fried chicken, and sticky rice, and its popularity making reservations difficult. The episode concludes with credits and a call to subscribe.
