We find ourselves in the midst of navigating the highs and lows of Milwaukee's food scene, and unfortunately this episode starts down a valley with the recent announcement that Mother's has permanently closed.The Bay View spot hadn't even been open for a full year, but it was quite an almost-12-months considering owner Vanessa Rose was named a James Beard Award semifinalist in the category of Emerging Chef. Mother's also landed a spot on the Journal Sentinel's 2025 list of best new restaurants.But Rose told Journal Sentinel dining critic Rachel Bernhard that economic realities and a customer flow that “sputtered out” led her to make the difficult decision. As usual, however, it wasn't all bad news around the area's culinary scene: The first brick-and-mortar location for much-loved Italian food truck Nadi Plates will now open in the former Pomona Cider Co. space on Farwell. Two ambitious Shorewood pre-teen siblings have launched Ube MKE, a cottage bakery featuring the Filipino purple yam treats. The South Side is getting a food-truck park on Greenfield Avenue, courtesy of Taqueria El Toro owner Toribio Perez Martinez. KISS Korean BBQ made a USA Today list of the best food trucks in the U.S. We also take a quick detour to Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood, where Black-owned restaurant Soul Ramen is blending Japanese and African flavors to deliver “culture in a bowl.”

Podcast: A “Deep Dive” into how interstate highways and social media fractured American society

This episode explores how America's interstate highway system and the rise of the algorithmic internet followed remarkably similar paths, both promoted as revolutionary tools of connection, freedom, and democratization before ultimately accelerating fragmentation, inequality, isolation, and centralized control. Drawing from the article “The false promise of human connection from the interstate highway system to the algorithmic internet,” the episode examines how highways physically divided urban communities like Milwaukee's Bronzeville under the banner of modernization, while digital platforms later reproduced many of the same divisions through algorithms built around engagement, outrage, and corporate consolidation. The conversation traces the parallels between suburban expansion and platform monopolies, the erosion of public and civic spaces, and the growing dependence on infrastructure systems that increasingly function less as democratic commons and more as privately controlled toll roads shaping modern American life.

Abdullah shares how, despite growing up surrounded by difficult conditions, certain values were instilled in him — the importance of family, community, and seeking information that could help him make better choices for his life. Those choices ultimately led him toward personal growth, purpose, and his conversion to Islam.This is an empowering and dynamic conversation that not only highlights the problems impacting our communities, but also presents meaningful solutions, healing, and pathways forward.You do not want to miss this inspiring discussion.

We would love to hear from you! Text "BBMFAM" to (312) 300-1300.A tiny restaurant can hold a whole neighborhood together if the intention is right. We're back in the studio for Season 11, and we're joined by Chef Chloe Gould, the owner of Dixie Pura Kitchen, a Black-owned restaurant tucked into Chicago's Bronzeville community. Chloe doesn't just cook, she translates. Her “Southern meets Southeast Asian” approach turns familiar comfort into a cultural bridge, and the dining room feels like home on purpose, right down to the photos on the walls and the conversations that make guests forget the clock.We go deep on the story behind the name Dixie Pura, how Singapore shaped her palette, and how grief, a kidney transplant, and personal loss reshaped her relationship with food, work, and joy. Chloe also breaks down what people rarely see: the kitchen ladder from prep to line cook to sous chef, the business math behind food costs, and the reality of running service with a lean team while still protecting the guest experience.Then we get practical and timely about technology in restaurants. What happens when robots deliver plates, staffing stays unstable, and AI tools become the “extra set of hands” small businesses can't afford? We talk sustainability, training costs, and why human touch still matters, plus a bigger community play: how collective buying power could help Black-owned restaurants protect margins without cutting corners.If you're planning a Chicago food trip, looking for a Bronzeville gem, or building a business and need a real founder story, press play.

Gospel music has roots in southern spirituals during slavery and migrated north during the Great Migration in the early 1900s. Chicago has staked its claim as the birthplace of modern gospel thanks to Bronzeville's Pilgrim Baptist Church and Thomas Dorsey, its choir director for 50 years.

In this episode of Car Con Carne, James VanOsdol welcomes James Beard Award-winning food writer Mike Gebert to discuss his ambitious new book, The Chicago Way: An Oral History of Chicago Dining. The conversation explores the evolution of Chicago’s culinary identity, from the high-stakes "Mad Men" era of the 1960s to the modern, diverse food scene of 2026. Key Highlights: The Evolution of Chicago Dining: Gebert explains how he tracked the city’s change through its restaurants, starting with the formal, male-dominated French dining scene and moving through the neighborhoods that restaurants helped put on the map. Legendary Personalities: The episode dives into the "outsized personalities" of Chicago’s most famous chefs, including: Charlie Trotter: Discussion of his complicated legacy, intense kitchen culture, and the "PTSD" some former staff still carry. Louis Szathmary: The story of Chicago's first celebrity chef at The Bakery and his surprising connection to Stouffer’s spinach souffle. Rick Bayless and Tony Mantuano: How they acted as the "anti-Trotters" by fostering reasonable workplaces and focusing on local produce and peasant cuisines. Neighborhood Transformations: Gebert and James discuss how dining pioneered areas like River North (thanks to Gordon Sinclair and developer Al Friedman) and the ongoing gentrification patterns in neighborhoods like Rogers Park and Bronzeville. The "Chicago Way" of Dining: Mike defines the city's unique dining spirit as a blend of high-end artistry and blue-collar work ethic—where even at the finest restaurants, the goal is for the experience to be unpretentious and, above all, fun.
