Many of you know that on Monday nights at 6:30 p.m., you're likely to find me on TMJ4's "Milwaukee Tonight" where I share insights about the local food scene and recommendations for best spots to eat around town.

But this week, we took the segment on the road and visited Uncle Wolfie's Downtown to chat with Chef Kristen Schwab about one of the dishes she makes that means the most to her: Indonesian corn fritters.

They will be on the menu when Schwab launches The Wolf’s debut dinner service Oct. 10-12.
