Von Trier, Brady Street Japanese and Milwaukee must-haves
Description
Amid the recent sad news about one East Side institution, we’re starting this episode on a much happier note from right up the street, as Von Trier continues its steady pace on the corner of Farwell and North avenues.
As Ann pointed out in her Milwaukee Magazine tidbit, we didn’t have much to worry about when the nearly 50-year-old establishment changed hands earlier this year — primarily because those hands belonged to the city’s unofficial preserver of cocktail lounges, John Dye. The man has a demonstrated respect for history, and Von Trier’s first few months under his watch reflect that approach.
You can get Ann’s full report (plus a healthy amount of sausage conversation) in the full podcast, which also sees us chatting about:
The December 2025 cover story of Milwaukee Magazine, which reveals the area’s 51 can’t-miss food and drinks (according to Ann).
The Hanukkah dinner being cooked up by chef Gregory León at Amilinda.
The Japanese restaurant set to take over Glorioso's Appetito space on Brady Street.- Why hot pot just might be the best way to create a perfect communal Thanksgiving.
