You Hungry? A Hilariously Delicious Guide to Conquering the Milwaukee Public Market
Ah, the Milwaukee Public Market. A sensory overload of epic proportions. Fresh produce piled high like edible skyscrapers. The intoxicating aroma of spices that could wake the dead (metaphorically, of course). And enough cheese curds to make a grown Wisconsinite weep with joy. But with so many options, where does a starving soul even begin? Fear not, my fellow food adventurer, for I am here to be your hilarious and slightly dramatic guide!
From Land and Sea (and Maybe a Little Air?)
First things first, protein. Do you crave something juicy and sizzling? Then hotfoot it to Pat's Rib Place. Their ribs are practically falling off the bone, begging to be devoured. Feeling a little more sophisticated? St. Paul Fish Company boasts the freshest catches this side of the Mississippi, perfect for a light and healthy (-ish) lunch. But maybe you're a die-hard vegetarian. Fear not, my sprout-loving friend! On The Bus offers a delightful plant-based menu that'll have your taste buds doing a happy dance.
What To Eat At Milwaukee Public Market |
Carb-Loading Champions
Now, onto the important stuff: carbs. Because let's be honest, a balanced meal is a myth. Aladdin serves up pitas stuffed with enough deliciousness to feed a small village. Think falafel, hummus, baba ganoush – the whole Mediterranean shebang. And speaking of international delights, Margarita Paradise will transport you straight to fiesta central with their epic burritos and tacos. But if you're a bread enthusiast (and who isn't?), then a stop at C. Adam's Bakery is a must. Their cookies are legendary, and their pastries are guaranteed to induce a sugar coma of the sweetest kind.
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
Sweet Endings (Because Why Not?)
No trip to the Public Market is complete without a sweet treat. Freese's Candy Shoppe is a sugary wonderland, overflowing with nostalgic candies and decadent chocolates. Feeling fancy? Oro di Oliva has a selection of gourmet chocolates that'll make your wallet cry tears of joy (or maybe that's just mine?).
Pro Tip: Come hungry, but wear loose pants.
