Maxie's Makeover: Chef Joe Mensch Unveils New Southern Bites

On this episode of Munching Around Milwaukee, Host Charlie visits Maxie's on Milwaukee's west side to meet chef-owner Joe Muench and sample newly updated appetizers — including hush-puppy-style cheese bites, popcorn crayfish, and a crab-topped deviled egg — following a renovation and menu refresh. The episode also highlights Black Shoe Hospitality's other concepts (Blue's Egg, Story Hill BKC), Joe's culinary background, the group's catering/food truck, and their community work supporting events like the Kentucky Derby fundraiser and the Ronald McDonald House.
