MKE Restaurant favorites from Year 1
I'm celebrating one year of Planet Kelsey and sharing some of my favorite things from the past 365 days. Let's see what I found in Milwaukee this past year that's good to eat:
#1 Rocket Baby Bakery
Have you ever had a life-altering pastry? If you answered "no" then you've obviously never been to Rocket Baby Bakery. Rocket Baby makes you wonder what you ever were thinking, running around with all those mediocre donuts and stale croissants. My advice: Start with the almond croissant. Or the chocolate almond croissant. Or a cheese danish. Okay, so you can't go wrong at Rocket Baby — that's the best part!
#2 Stone Bowl Grill
I didn't really know anything about Korean food before going to Stone Bowl. In fact, I still don't know very much (Rachelle ordered for me, bless her). I do know that I ate some wonderfully saucy meats, rice & noodles, and pot stickers — things like that — and loved every bite. Not sure what to order? I broke down Rachelle's picks in my blog post — so read her recommendations, then go stuff your face.
#3 Watts Tea Room
This might seem like a random choice for a favorite eatery from this past year, but I have two words for you: Sunshine Cake. The ooh-la-la ambiance of Watts combined with flavorful tea, fresh salads, and a most delightful signature cake really makes for a special experience — even if the vibe is rather "ladies who lunch."
#4 Cafe Corazon
We need more mornings like this: A Mexican-style brunch that can be celebrated by foodies, health nuts, and hangover-sufferers alike — amazing!
#5 County Clare
Fridays are the best, not only because they kickstart the weekend, but because Friday is fish fry day. Of all the Friday fish I tried this past winter, County Clare is the clear winner. This was the only fry that had me and my fellow fish-lovers emitting yummy sounds throughout the entire dinner. Bonus points to County Clare for live Irish music every Friday to complete the perfection.
