Fondy Farm Fest, more Mediterranean and choose-your-fusion

One of the cool things about food in general is its ability to transport you from wherever you are to the origin of whatever taste you’re currently enjoying. But there’s always the local element — the restaurant you’re sitting in, the chef who prepped it, the place that supplied the ingredients. The event we talk about at the top of this episode is all about all of those things: the Fondy Farm Feast.The feast Aug. 18 will take place on a mere sliver of the Mequon Nature Preserve's 510 acres, provideingan incredible setting for an even more incredible meal thanks to the efforts of an all-star chef lineup: Zakiya Courtney of Vegan Soul Mary Kastman of Purslane Gregory León of Amilinda Martin Magaña of Mezcla Fusion Revolution Travis Martinez of Sugar Studio Sam Sandrin of Midwest Sad Kristin Schwab of Uncle Wolfie’s Dinner Diner Also on this episode, we discuss a new Mediterranean restaurant on Water Street, a wildly ambitious fusion spot opening on the Northwest side and a review of Thai-Japanese fusion eatery Room Service in the latest issue of Milwaukee Magazine.Produced and edited by Marcus Doucette
