First Foodie Post

I decided its high time to write about some of the awesome restaurants that Milwaukee has to offer.  One place that is uniquely "Milwaukee" is the Comet Cafe.  The Comet Cafe is popular among locals, but gained increased fame after it was  featured on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" by Guy Fierie.  You can watch the show online here.

I personally enjoy Comet Cafe because of the awesome bacon garnished Bloody Mary which is served with Miller Highlife grenades (mini beer bottles).  They are also the home to the beermosa, the booze-a-latte and the 'sconnie-mosa but what The Comet is known for is its scratch comfort food and its 150 craft beers.  It also offers an amazing brunch menu!  I think it's important to note that Comet has something for everyone -- the vegan, the gluten-free eater, the dieter and the junk food junkie.  Everyone can walk away happy.  The menu is perfect for that rainy day, snowy Saturday or from what I have heard, an extremely hungover Sunday.  They are part of a local business alliance called "Our Milwaukee" and their goal is to create a unique Milwaukee experience while supporting local growers as much as possible.

The diner remains traditional with a low diner-style bar and booths around the room and there is almost always a wait so be prepared and sign in with the hostess!  This is scratch food folks, so don't expect this to be a fast dining experience... as the menu warns they are a "little cafe with a little kitchen."
