The 38 Best Restaurants in Milwaukee, Wisconsin | Eater

"When it opened on Kinnickinnic Avenue in 2012, Odd Duck instantly became the beating heart and culinary conscience at the center of the coolest neighborhood in town. Now owners Ross Bachhuber and Melissa Buchholz have their own building in Walker’s Point and a new neighborhood to conquer with their perfectly married small-plate ingenuity, rough-hewn DIY aesthetics, and buzzy vibe. The new digs come with the same expertise from the waitstaff and same craft (but unfussy) cocktails, powering dinners that might include massaman curry, tempura-fried oyster mushrooms, pork cheek goulash, or duck confit and ricotta agnolotti. Start with some chile crisp deviled eggs, cheese and charcuterie, raw oysters, and whatever featured drink is on rotation (proceeds benefit organizations as disparate as Doctors Without Borders or the Wisconsin Waterfowl Association). Trust your server’s advice from there. Go for: A big group dinner, the bigger the better." - Todd Lazarski
