Halal Restaurant Week, dumplings and pounds of peaches

About this episode

This episode discusses Halal Restaurant Week in Milwaukee and highlights various food events and local restaurants.

This episode starts at the tail end of Halal Restaurant Week, which runs for a couple more days as it helps bring awareness to the options around Milwaukee that meet Islamic dietary guidelines while also inviting non-Muslim customers to try halal dining and encouraging restaurants to have halal choices on their menus year-round. What makes this a unique cultural food event is how it cuts across cuisine. Restaurants like Mr. B’s Steakhouse, Smoke Shack and Allende Cocina Mexicana are all participating this year, along with eight others that represent a nice cross-section of Milwaukee dining. You can get more info over at Eat Halal Milwaukee while you listen to the other tidbits that snuck into this episode: Dumpling Fest will once again crown the best dough-wrapped goodness when it returns June 28. Riverwest urban farm Crops On Top will welcome guests all summer long to their beer-pairing dinners, garden parties and Detroit-style pizza nights. Lupi & Iris will host their fourth annual Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Dinner that pairs high-end wine with a nine-course tasting menu. Tree-Ripe Fruit will bring farm-fresh peaches and blueberries to their hundreds of fruit stops…
