The Essential Edible MKE day
9:04 a.m.: Begin your journey at Blue’s Egg. The day is young but start it light, with an order of monkey bread and the Very Stuffed Browns with pulled ham and sharp cheddar. (317 N. 76th St., 414-299-3180) 10:15 a.m.: Roll over to the new Fathead Jerky – the offspring of nearby McBob’s Pub & Grill – and roll out with a bag bearing multiple flavors of jerky (zesty habanero, anyone?) and meat sticks (gator, venison). This makes a powerful protein snack-fest for another day. (5513 W. North Ave., 414-732-1318) 10:52 a.m.: Proceed east and a skosh north to Riverwest…
Morning After
One helluva breakfast sandwich from The Irish Pub Photo by Adam Ryan Morris It’s a slow-motion sequence. Could be a cheesy commercial or a Zach Galifianakis movie. Or maybe it’s real: The air propels the server from the kitchen to the bar, the plate in her hand leading her forward to the outstretched arms of a diner. The handoff comes effortlessly.

The runny egg yolk dribbles over the biscuit side and onto the plate.…
Face Off!
Photo by Kevin J. Miyazaki Angie D’Amato rests her arm on the back of the booth. The gesture is at once casual and protective, her arm encircling her husband, Sandy. I watch them chatting softly and peering out the open windows as I book to the restaurant entrance. I’ve arranged to meet them – the first time ever. I might look calm, but inside, I’m freaking out. During my first few years of working at the magazine, I was the full-time fact-checker. The Internet just a twinkle in an IT guy’s eye, this meant full days working the phones, tracking…

Haute Plates
Photo by Adam Ryan Morris It’s just food. He – or she – is just a chef. And you are just a diner. It’s all true, but behind many restaurant creations is intention – a soulful rendering that rings true and personal to the person who created it. Consider the words of Umami Moto’s Justin Carlisle. When he approaches a dish, whether a chowder (as you’ll find in this story) or a main course of salmon, it’s “all about flavor profiles for me. I close my eyes and get a picture in my head of what [this dish] is.”Carlisle…
