“Cooking with Milwaukee Community Leaders” is part of the Milwaukee Podcast Network - https://milwaukeepodcastnetwork.com/. This show is an Interview and cooking show with Milwaukee Community Leaders.

We have an interview about their work in the community, then we cook something, and then we eat it. From our elected leaders to those working at the grassroots, we talk with people trying to make Milwaukee a better place.

On Munching Around Milwaukee, host Charlie visits Bayview’s Heirloom Restaurant to talk with co-owners Jess and chef Pete Ignatiev. They discuss their farm-to-table restaurant and popular food truck. They discuss seasonal menus, local farm partnerships, and their signature house-made burrata.

In the kitchen, Chef Pete shows step-by-step how he makes Heirloom's signature burrata from scratch. Fresh mozzarella curds are washed twice, filled with a ricotta/cream mixture, and served over a bed of arugula, with strawberries, pistachios, and much, much more.

The episode covers the couple’s path from a food truck during the pandemic to opening a restaurant, overcoming a truck fire, and why their rotating seasonal dishes and community connections make Heirloom a Milwaukee favorite. https://www.heirloommke.com/
