Welcome back to a special feature of Niver Niver Land: The Milwaukee Files!

We visited Milwaukee for a week in earlier February and talked to three incredible people in the restaurant industry. Why? Because we like Milwaukee, and we wanted to hear what they're thinking about these days. The restaurant landscape has totally changed in the last few years. We wanted to know how it changed in Milwaukee.

Our first interview was with this wonderful woman, Melissa Buchholz, owner-operator at Odd Duck, a killer small plates restaurant in the Walker's Point neighborhood of Milwaukee.

This is the perfect first episode to begin The Milwaukee Files because Melissa gives us a real sense of where the city has been, where it's at, and where it's heading.

We had a fantastic conversation and we hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for listening!

Welcome to Niver Niver Land: a podcast that addresses massive change in the restaurant industry.

The show is hosted by award-winning restaurateur Tim Niver – a local legend of Minnesota's Twin Cities – known for his involvement with fabled spots like Aquavit, Town Talk Diner, and Strip Club Meat & Fish. Today, he runs Saint Dinette and Mucci's Italian in St. Paul.

Tim sees a major problem with restaurant industry dialogue: there is a lack of discussion about the ongoing, unprecedented change. Many of those who work in the industry are still trying to wrap their heads around what has happened over the last two years.

Today, Tim is ready to talk about these things – through his trademark wit and foolishness – so that we can better appreciate and preserve the cultural importance of restaurants.
