Every big city has its claim to fame "pizza joints." Of course, there are always the boring old giants in Pizza Huts and Domino's, but surely you prefer your very own hometown-type pizza joint, don't you? I'm a self-proclaimed pizzaologist. A pizza aficionado. Simply put, a pizza...
I'm fairly certain some people thought we were crazy when we went out and bought a chest freezer -- primarily because this freezer wasn't the smallest one on the market. Nope -- we have 20+ cubic feet of gorgeous freezer space, complete with storage bins that we can lift in and out. We went with ...
hirst and Vine recently opened in Shorewood and is definitely being welcomed by the locals. I have made several trips in there and I have not been disappointed. They have an extensive wine menu and a “wine lady”, Jenna that has enough knowledge of wine in her back pocket to blow your ...
