Milwaukee: A Backdrop for Culinary Duality
The fourth episode of “Top Chef Wisconsin” featured ‘duality’—a central aspect of Frank Lloyd Wright‘s design philosophy—and took the competing chefs on a tour of Wright’s works in Milwaukee before venturing to his famed Taliesin home in Spring Green. Wright was a famous architect whose style resonated throughout Milwaukee. This duality theme resonates deeply with Milwaukee’s dual nature: a city harmonizing its rich historical heritage with a vibrant, modern culinary scene.
From the Historic Burnham Block to Modern Culinary Artistry on the Milwaukee Riverwalk
The episode begins in Milwaukee at the historic Burnham Block, featuring Wright’s innovative designs for affordable housing. These homes, marked by their unique design elements and material use, inspired the chefs’ culinary creations. Such sites represent the hidden history Milwaukee Food & City Tours uncovers within all tours, with passionate tour guides.
