Another week, another lunch! Grandma was up for the week and Dad worked hard at getting her to plenty of new places to eat (She lives in a small town with limited options) and he succeeded!
For lunch this week Dad picked Milwaukee Delicatessen Company to try out. I had actually discovered this place a couple of weeks ago, unbeknownst to Dad as Josh and I were driving around downtown on a Pokemon hunting adventure. (Don’t judge!) I even snapped a picture of the front then so I wouldn’t forget it!
We arrived at our normal “early” lunch time to find that parking was sparse around there. We ended up in the garage across the street that is $2 per 20 mins, which was fine. It’s in a cool old building with a lot of what seems to be original decor. I only got one pic of the decor, with a guy in the pic too. Next time we go there I want to sit upstairs!
They had a menu of yummy looking sandwiches and salads but I spied someone at an adjacent table with pizza and I was sold. Their slices were huge! They had specialty slices to choose from or you could “build your own” slice. I went with the build your own and chose my favorite: pepperoni, pineapple and cream cheese. Yes, you read that right. Cream. Cheese. If you ever have the option, you should try it. You won’t regret it. It’s hard to tell in the picture but they actually cut it into diamond pieces for easier eating. It’s on a New York Style Crust. YUM!!!!
Dad and Grandma had big dinner out plans that evening so they decided to split the Central Branch Ruben with German Potato Salad. They both enjoyed the sandwich and it was a decent ruben. The German Potato Salad was cold (we always think of it being hot).
It was a good meal overall and I will definitely go back sometime! Maybe i’ll carry out a pizza from there. You can get a 26″ pizza for very reasonable.
Until next time!
