Three Brothers is an European style restaurant. We love the Burek . A unique atmosphere which we have enjoyed.

I think the restaurant that was on fire was in Cedarburg.

I saw that Super Walmart had coconut oil as well.

Yes it works ,thanks. I got a 7 QT professional lift model $100. less than the advertised price.

We have been to c.1880 and were underwhelmed. It took over 10 minutes for the waiter to acknowledge us. He did and said he'd be right back to take our drink order and another 10 minutes passed. The place was not overly busy.
We had the Foie Gras appetizer with some kind of foie flan foam. I am really tired of the foam phase. The Foie Gras was good but for $20 I would think that we would have gotten more than a sliver.
My lamb was different- two medallions over some thing as described as a Mediterranean medley. I wouldn't order it again.
My husband some type of fish, he can't remember . I think it was rainbow trout. Either way he said it wasn't very good and also wouldn't order it again.
Overall we weren't impressed.

Do you have any budget restraints?

The best brunch is on the Jazz fest grounds. No need to go anywhere else with the variety of food at fest. I think the grounds open at noon and the last performance is around 5 ish. But my memory maybe wrong on the times. Regardless, why take 2 hours out of fest to go to a brunch?

There is a very good restaurant in New Berlin on Greenfield ave called Lagniappe Brasserie. I would definitely go there.

Have you tasted the thawed organic strawberries? I would taste them to see how sweet they are and then start by adding the sugar , 2 tablespoons at a time. Taste after the additions until you have the sweetness you want.

You're welcome. Glad it was an enjoyable experience.

Don't know if this information will impact you on your decision, Dan Van Rite chef from The Hinterland was recently nominated again and is a finalist for The James Beard Award.

The Hinterland or Crazy Water are excellent restaurants. Crazy Water is rather small, everything is prepared basically right behind the bar. A very casual bistro type atmosphere. Food is very welcoming.

The Hinterland has a large dining area with a front bar and back bar where you can eat too. I wouldn't suggest eating at the bar areas for your celebratory dinner. I find The Hinterland to be very creative with their choices. The wait staff is well versed with the selections. Chef Dan Van Rite continues to change up the menu with a Wisconsin flair. I also know that they have their seafood flown in from each coast , I think almost daily.
I have had wonderful birthday, anniversary dinners at The Hinterland. I have also had great dinners at Crazy Water.
IMO I'd try The Hinterland this time and then for the next anniversary try Crazy Water.

Recently, I used a can of pumpkin instead of a cup. I misread the recipe. I realized this when the cookie batter was way liquidy. I added more flour and and egg and just by luck , the supposed to be cookies that turned into cupcakes turned out fine.

Salsa

My mom made jello and a beef broth for us when we were sick. White soda to settle our stomach.

I make white rice , throw in the hamburger with it while cooking. This is what my vet told me to give to my dog when she is sick. I have a Westie and they are notorious for sensitive stomachs.

Downtown Wauwatosa is close. There are several spots for respite. Le Reve 7610 Harwood Ave., Wauwatosa (414) 778-3333 is a great bakery/cafe. The Chancery, a local restaurant that has several locations throughout SE Wi. is also located there. http://www.thechancery.com/ Hectors is a pretty decent Mexican place....http://www.hectors.com/
There is also Cafe Hollander in the village that I like http://www.cafehollander.com/tosavillage/
Mo's Irish Pub is on the corner of Hwy 100 and Bluemound .It has a an Irish Pub atmosphere and decent food. http://www.mosirishpub.com/

The Old German Beer Hall features all the he beers of the Hofbrauhaus in Munich. They have a polka band some nights and the servers are dressed in traditional Hofbrau attire. It is a fun place, at least it was on the nights I have been there.
Benji's is known for their Hoppel Poppel.

Enjoy your visit. An area of Milwaukee that I am partial to is The Third Ward. There is a new , recently opened BBQ place called The Smoke Shack http://smoke-shack.com/ I can't vouch for it but I've seen pictures and read some reviews and it sounds pretty good.

Agreed , they are not known for bratwurst, but I don't go out for brats unless it's at the stadium. Well, Hinterland does make their own sausage and it is very good.. And each restaurant mentioned has steak on their menus and does a great job. And I guess I took the OP's post as looking something that represents the feel of MKE. I tend to try to go against what is stereotypically MKE thus recommending something out of the box, but yet giving a visitor a taste of what Milwaukee is today.

I like The Hinterland for a casual but great dining experience. Their menu emphasizes Wisconsin fare. They have a small plate dining as well as fine dining . The Harbor House gives you a great view of the Milwaukee downtown from the water perspective. They specialize in seafood. Roots is a wonderful restaurant with a great view of the downtown from over the river. The Iron Horse Hotel is a magnificent boutique hotel that captures the vibe of Milwaukee. Whether you stop at Branded for a drink or go to Smyth it is a great place to see.

I found it at the Aldi on Hwy. 100 just north of Layton in Greenfield. I asked the cashier if she knew if they have started carrying Fage. She said she thought it was a seasonal item....hmmm yogurt seasonal?
I have found that Aldi's prices and what they carry differ from store to store. My Mom who shops at a Waukesha Aldi will call and tell me that she got eggs for .89 and I'll go to the Greenfield or Brookfield store to find that they are selling them for .99 or more.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I found Fage Greek yogurt at Aldi. I'm not sure if it's an only one time occurrence. I'm not sure if other parts of the country have had this but this is the first time I have seen it in the Milwaukee area. It's the 17.6 oz size and the price is $1.49. The cheapest I have found it before today was at the Super Wal-mart for $3.30.

I saw a huge bottle of Grey Goose at the Costco in the Milwaukee area before Christmas. I actually bought the Kirkland brand vodka in the huge bottle and it is very good. I haven't done a taste comparison to Grey Goose but I have done it with Hangar One and it is very similar. Not sure if you have access to Costco in Chicago.

A prime steak will not need and should not ever have meat tenderizer applied.

Thanks didn't see the title in the org post. Sounds like it is a relatively new restaurant?

Please let us know what restaurant this is and in what city. Thanks.

From your post, it looks like your recipe call for pudding the pudding in the oven after mixing in the cool whip? Is this correct? That doesn't sound right to me.
I have made Paula Deen's " Not yo' Mama's Banana Pudding" and people have raved about it. It does call for cool whip but I think whipped cream can be used. It also calls for cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk. There is no baking in her recipe.
