C is for Corned Beef on Rye at McBob’s Pub and Grill
Since just about every iteration of a Milwaukee dining guide has been done by one food writer in Milwaukee or another over the years, I thought it might be fun to try to eat my way through Milwaukee’s best by alphabet.
Believe it or not, it is harder than you might think to pare these selections down to just one per letter, and in some cases, to come up with a standout item for others.
I am sure many of you have your favorites that I have not mentioned here, and I know I missed some of my favorites as well, so please feel free to share more of our city’s great culinary finds in the talkback feature below.
This is the first in a two-part blog series. Have fun eating your way through the alphabet!
