Short Orders (Halsted and Madison)
Going to Chicago?
The
City of Big Shoulders is known for many things: the Bears, the blues,
corrupt politics and the world’s best hot dogs. You can find the latter
at Halsted and Madison (4415 N. Oakland Ave.)—not the Windy City
intersection, but a Shorewood
deli operated by a pair of married couples, Mike and Giobanna
Radicevich and David and Debra Tatarowicz. Halsted and Madison serves
Chicago-style kosher beef hot dogs smothered in a tricolor of green
peppers, tomatoes and onions or chili and cheese.
The deli is a tiny place lifted straight from the Loop with counter service, a couple of chrome ’50s kitchen tables and lots of carryout traffic. At $2.95, you can’t beat the cost. “You can get a hot dog here for less than the price of a gallon of gas—and you don’t have to drive to Chicago,” as Mike Radicevich says. (David Luhrssen)

Although separated by an ocean and multiple time zones, the Australian Outback bears remarkable resemblance to the American West. Both encompass mesas towering over rocky, dusty deserts shimmering like a mirage under unforgiving sunlight. Whip-snapping co
It can't touch Harry Potter for scope of popularity but in some pockets of pop culture, the Twilight series has reached Beatlemania in intensity. The "young adult" novels about a handsome teenage vampire boy and the mortal girl who loves him have sold 17
No, we didn't ask for an album featuring another recording of "Breathe," leading into "Time," leading into "Breathe (Reprise)," as happens on tracks two through four on Live in Gdansk. But Pink Floyd completists (we are legion) will want it anyway. Howeve
Jorge "El Guero" Hernandez may be the best-known regional Mexican artist with Milwaukee roots. Most of a decade has passed since he and brother Rogelio moved to San Antonio, but El Guero's Banda Centenario still nurtures a unique take on the often-manic D
The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
If you’re not from Waukesha, you’ll want to check MapQuest for directions, but it’s worth the ride. The Rochester Deli (143 E. Broadway, 262-522-9611), wedged within the labyrinth of downtown Waukesha across from the Freeman offices, is
