Michelin Guide coming to Milwaukee in an edition dedicated to the Great Lakes region. Total bullcrap if Real Chile doesn't get at least 1 star!

I have two unexpected nights in Des Moines this week.  Any recommendations?

Harbinger and Eatery A have both impressed me. Wife & I stop at one of these every time we're on our way to/from her family in northern Nebraska.

Chain & Spoke was a cool coffee shop as well

I haven't been to Cheese Bar but a local told me to check it out.

More seriously what Milwaukee restaurants gets a star? Bib gourmand?

I'm guessing Odd Duck for a bib gourmand. Where else? Chard? Dan Dan?

Lupi & Iris & Sanford vying for a star but also unsure if they'll award two stars to a city the size of MKE.

Yeah, great question. Personally L&I is way overrated, but I should give it another chance some time. Sanford is the likely choice, but I haven't been there in 20 years at least.

Odd Duck is a good thought for Bib Gourmand (haven't been to the new spot, but liked the cramped old one), perhaps places like Morel (WI and seasonal focus), maybe Ca'Lucchenzo, Story Hill BKC, maybe Ristorante or Safina. Others might be Goodkind, Room Service, Omakase 1033 (probably too new), perhaps Birch.

Would be fun if places like Wy'East, Flour Girl & Flame, OG Zaffiro's, Hooligan's, Cafe Manna, Cafe India, Vanguard, EE Sane, Blue Star, Comet got a little love.

I'm interested to see what if any places outside the main cities but in the region are recognized.

I think vanguard could easily be if they stepped up their bun game. Incredible sausages with creative toppings and 99% of the time they're on a basic white hot dog bun. Up that game and I could see an argument for them being on. Goodkind's a nice shout I hadn't considered. Think Honeypie could make the cut?

Funny you mention Honeypie. I was considering adding them/SmallPie/Palomino to the would be cool if list. I'm a fan.

DanDan canceled our reservation recently when they were shutdown for a pest infestation, been a lot of that lately.

Wow that's wild. Was thinking due to the success on top chef and being a recent James beard finalist that the place would probably have some steam behind it with the guide expanding. Rodents probably kill all that.

Funny enough, I was in town for Summerfest last summer and went to DanDan in the always good for a cringy laugh area named Ethnic Gardens to see what they were serving. And, who did I see, none other than Top Chef Dan Jacobs who took my order and gave me my food through the little window. Of course, I asked for a photo.

Is he a good dude?  Cause he annoyed the hell out of me on Top Chef.

Super kind and grateful.

By alot of that lately I meant other nearby restaurants. Marouding rats?

I tried Eatery A tonight and it was very nice.  Thanks for the recommendation!

Never been, sample menu looks intriguing. Any good?
