Sam’s Diner Review – Waterford, WI There are a few times in my life when I’ve had a plate put in front of me at a restaurant and I’ve sighed and said “this is art.” When/where this has happened, it’s never been dependent on the price or the number of stars, or some fancy name… Continue reading Sams Diner Review – Waterford, WI

Gloriosos Italian Market Review – Milwaukee, WI
Seventy-year-old Glorioso’s in Milwaukee is one of several fine Italian deli/groceries the city has to offer. If it’s even remotely Italian, Glorioso’s has it on the shelf, in the counter or in the cooler. It’s a wonderland for foodies and cooks alike. Naturally, I stocked up. Sausages. Cheese. A muffaletta sandwich. So let’s talk about that. … Continue reading Gloriosos Italian Market Review – Milwaukee, WI
Kegels Inn Review – Milwaukee, WI
If you’re an occasional reader, you know that I’ve been disappointed in the past when I’ve gone to an establishment that’s had the title of “City’s favorite for XXX decades.” Lots of those types rest on their laurels, or the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation think they “know better.” But I’ve been on a roll… Continue reading Kegels Inn Review – Milwaukee, WI

When I’m not in their distribution area, I even order care packages online. The company has a wide variety of fresh and cooked sausages, as well as deli and sandwich meats. I am fond… Continue reading Klements Polish Sausage Review
Usinger’s Meats – Milwaukee, Wisconsin
I wrote a bit about Usinger’s the other day. Here’s the rest of the story, as I prepare to dig into their natural casing “Old World Recipe” wieners. Pretty straightforward ingredients with these pups, beef and pork, water, spices, sugar, salt, paprika, and a couple of the sodiums as a preservative, in a natural lamb… Continue reading Usinger’s Meats – Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Milwaukee – Sausage Town
Milwaukee is a great meat town, and an even better sausage town. Two of my favorite companies are there, Klement’s, and Usingers, with the latter dating back well over one hundred years, and the former, the upstart, being only about 70 years old. Both companies offer a wide variety of smoked and fresh sausages, deli… Continue reading Milwaukee – Sausage Town
