Spicy Homemade Quasi-Bolognese: Milwaukee Community, Cooking & Convention Center Tales

Live from Studio D, host Charlie welcomes Megan Seppmann, Chief Commercial Officer of the Wisconsin Center District.  Megan shares her family spin on a spicy, veggie-forward bolognese-style sauce, featuring chicken meatballs, ground beef, roasted poblano peppers, and jalapeño-stuffed olives.   Between cooking steps, Megan discusses her Minnesota roots, hospitality career, and how the Baird Center and other venues are driving Milwaukee’s growth as a convention destination.   The episode blends cooking, community leadership, and local pride as the hosts taste the finished dish and talk about the city’s culinary scene, events, and the personal stories behind the recipe.   You can watch the YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/V1-AZmr-b3M    You can find the recipe here: https://cookingsecretsformen.com/2026/08/07/homemade-bolognese-style-pasta/    “Cooking with Milwaukee Community Leaders” is part of the Milwaukee Podcast Network - https://milwaukeepodcastnetwork.com/.
