With the ever growing popularity in food and travel shows and the combination of the amazing culinary resources in our backyard – Wisconsin Foodie was born.

The goal of Wisconsin Foodie is to educate, entertain and connect Wisconsinites to their food. Each show dives into Wisconsin’s culinary world – profiling local food treasures and unique travel destinations. Wisconsin Foodie artfully blends all three show facets (food, cooking and travel) to create a national-style program, yet completely local and all about Wisconsin.

The crew will be traveling across our state featuring those with the same passion for food as we have – from local purveyors to small town diners and upscale restaurants – no stone will be left unturned. We plan to show you where your food comes from and how it gets from “out there” to on your plate. We also want to support Wisconsin’s economy by showcasing local businesses, restaurants, purveyors and farmers – telling their story like never before to ultimately advance and promote a local, sustainable economy.

Hosted by Kyle Cherek, each 30-minute episode will showcase a restaurant, chef, farm, or anything that is “Wisconsin Foodie.” Resident chef Brian Moran will host a guest chef each week in the Wisconsin Foodie kitchen to prepare a meal or dish exclusively for our viewing audience straight from their menu. Finally, wine expert Jessica Bell will take us through the ins and outs of perfect wine pairings – enhancing the weekly recipe as well as your home wine collection.

We are thrilled to have the support of the Wisconsin business community to launch our second season. A very special thanks to The Bartolotta Restaurants, The Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, Boelter Superstore, Elkhart Lake Tourism Commission, Hale Vision and Outpost Natural Foods for making Season Two a reality.
