Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for Milwaukee Food

GLENDALE, Wis. - Nov. 30, 2015 - PRLog -- Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for Milwaukee Food

Local author, Lori Fredrich, will be available to sign copies of book

Milwaukee’s culinary scene boasts more than the iconic beer and bratwurst. It possesses a unique food culture as adventurous as any dining destination in the country. Sample the spreads at landmark hotels like the Pfister that established the city’s hospitable reputation, as well as eateries like Mader’s that cemented it. Meet the producers, chefs and entrepreneurs who helped expand Milwaukee’s palate and pushed the scene to the forefront of the farm-to-fork movement. Milwaukee native and food writer Lori Fredrich serves up the story of a bustling blue-collar town that became a mecca for food lovers and a rising star in the sphere of urban farming.

Highlights from Milwaukee Food: A History of Cream City Cuisine:

• Two landmark restaurants were the tipping point for Milwaukee’s burgeoning restaurant scene: Sanford and Ristorante Bartolotta.
• Sanford D’Amato of Sanford Restaurant — who is featured in the book—was the first chef in Wisconsin to receive a James Beard Award.
• By the 1960s Milwaukee was well-known for its “Big Three” German restaurants: John Ernst Café, Mader’s and Karl Ratzch’s
