Karmic Burgers

By Jeff Beutner

The recently opened Karma (600 E. Ogden Ave.), located in the former Vivo Urban Grill, has now had a few months to find its footing. The space offers a sports bar upstairs and a sultry lounge and second bar on the lower level.

Freddy’s Return

Plantains aplenty

By Jeff Beutner

A sign at the street corner simply proclaims, “Freddy’s back,” in reference to the Puerto Rican restaurant owned by Eliu and Julio Quinones. A decade ago, despite its dark and somewhat dreary interior, Freddy’s still attracted customers who appreciated authentic Puerto Rican food.

Pizza Transformed

By David Luhrssen

For years it was a diner called Scrambled Ed’s, and before that, a George Webb. The new occupants, Transfer Pizzeria Cafe (101 W. Mitchell St.), have restored much of the century-old corner building to its original appearance, exposing wooden beams, a tile floor and stained glass.

Vietnamese Variety

Phan’s Garden of delights

By Jeff Beutner

Vietnamese people know their food. Last year at this time, I visited the nation for 16 days, traveling between Hanoi and Saigon. Hanoi was memorable for its street vendors, each with a different specialty, such as banh cuon cha lua, a dish of minced pork and rice flour crepes that looks easy to prepare but is actually quite difficult.

Uncommon Film Fare

Bayshore receives Ovation

By Jeff Beutner

The new IPic complex at Bayshore Town Center offers something for everyone. The core of the complex is its six movie theaters, but the entertainment doesn’t stop there. When you enter the upper level of the expanded original mall, the first thing you’ll notice is the sleek-looking Sequel Bar. And what is that noise?

Mexican Express

By Jeff Beutner

A former train station is an unusual location for a restaurant, but La Estacion (319 Williams St.) makes it work. The Mexican restaurant is located just south of Waukesha’s city center in the old Chicago and North Western depot, built in the days when Waukesha was a major resort renowned for its mineral springs.

Buffet for a King

A Royal Indian lunch

By David Luhrssen

A warm, milky cup of chai is relaxing any time of the year, but it’s especially comforting during the chilly endgame of winter. The chai served at Royal India is a mild pick-me-up for the midday, a gentler uplift than yet another round of coffee.

Fishing at Webb’s

By David Luhrssen

The twin clocks at George Webb have seen many diners, hash houses and hamburger joints come and go since 1948, when the first Webb’s opened in Downtown Milwaukee. Sixty years later, the nothing-fancy local chain nudges forward with the addition of fish to its burger-and-breakfast menu.

Seoul Food

Rare Korean cuisine

By Jeff Beutner

As the number of Thai and East Indian restaurants in Milwaukee continues to multiply profusely, Korean restaurants remain scarce. Oddly enough, there were more options for Korean food 20 years ago. In fact, our city only has one place 100% devoted to the food of Korea: Seoul Korean Restaurant.
