An Honest and Heartfelt Take on Our Favorite Things About Milwaukee
Hey there, Milwaukee lovers! It’s us, Steve and Adam, coming at you with a recap of the episode, where we dive deep into the soul of our beloved city.
We've been adventuring through Milwaukee our entire lives, and in our podcast, we've shared over 250 episodes filled with every hidden nook and cranny we could find.
A Love Note to Our City
In this episode, we sat down to reminisce about our favorite parts of doing this podcast. It’s like a love note to Milwaukee, as we chat about the spots that have captivated us and the hidden treasures we’ve uncovered. We’re talking about everything from the local breweries that have become like a second home to us to those unexpected VIP moments that have left us feeling like rock stars.
The Martini vs. The Beer
Our banter takes a turn when I, Adam, share my recipe for the "laziest martini ever" — just some artisanal frozen water, lemon juice, and a generous pour of vodka. Meanwhile, Steve keeps it classic with a good ol’ beer in a glass. It’s our yin and yang, the artisanal and the uncomplicated, all in one podcast.
Feeling Lucky
Reflecting on our luckiest moments, we talk about the times when we've been absolutely spoiled with food and drinks while on the job. But it's not just about the freebies — it’s the people we meet, the bartenders, the waitstaff, the locals who make these experiences priceless.
From Summerfest to Our Favorite Haunts
We can't help but reminisce about partnering with Summerfest and Summerfest Tech — those media passes really made us feel like we were part of something bigger. But it's the lesser-known spots that really make our hearts beat for Milwaukee. Places like Vanguard with its knockout sausages and the edgy charm of Tin Widow, not to mention the excitement of checking out a new spot like La Pina for some tequila adventures.
Our Top Five Milwaukee Must-Dos
Trying to boil down Milwaukee to just five experiences is like trying to pick your favorite beer in a city known for brewing — nearly impossible! But we gave it a shot, from cheering at a Brewers game to taking a city tour that's as delicious as it is enlightening. And you can't miss the breweries. Lakefront Brewery, with its top-notch tours and even better cheese curds, is a standout for us.
Hidden Gems and Unforgettable Bites
When it comes to the spots that feel like home, New Barons is our go-to for that familiar, everyone-knows-your-name vibe. Broken Bat's wiffle ball court captures the quirky side of Milwaukee, while Transfer's pizza is the kind of meal that turns any day into the best day.
More Than Just a City
Our podcast isn’t just about the places; it’s about the community. We’re not just observers; we’re part of Milwaukee's story, engaging with everyone who makes this city what it is. We share our experiences with the same warmth and openness that Milwaukee has always shown us.
Signing Off with Laughs
In true Steve and Adam fashion, we wrapped up the episode laughing about the little things, like the struggle of drinking from a left-handed mug and the quirks of Milwaukee branding. It's a reminder that our podcast is more than a guide to the city — it's a celebration of friendship, of Milwaukee, and all the laughs in between.
So, if you ever find yourself with an hour to spare in our city, take a leaf out of our book and dive into the places we've talked about. Trust us, you'll find yourself falling for Milwaukee just as hard as we have. Take a listen on Spotify, Apple, Google, or anywhere you stream your podcasts.
Till the next round,
