Every week on Milwaukee Radio, Milwaukee Magazine restaurant critic Ann Christenson and local foodie Tarik Moody of 88Nine discuss Milwaukee’s culinary and restaurant culture on This Bites. In this week’s edition of This Bites we have a roundup of places offering Easter food, an update on a new menu from Flour Girl + Flame, and news about a new place coming to Crossroads Collective. We also have a deep discussion about Saki. But first we start the episode with a free food festival that will be held on Sunday, March 28th, at Sherman Phoenix, 3536 W. Fond du Lac Ave, giving away groceries to those in need. The event is made possible by a $ 80,000 grant from World Central Kitchen and organized by Caitlin Cullen of The Tandem. facebook.com/theshermanphoenix Here’s the full list of providers – and it’s really impressive.

Ruta’s brings Indian cuisine to the Crossroads Collective The Food Hall of the Crossroads Collective will welcome an Indian café in April. It’s called Ruta’s and will “serve soups, sandwiches, bowls and baked goods, many with a ‘vibrant, fresh, Indian touch,'” reports Milwaukee Magazine. It replaces Frida, who closed earlier this month. It’s run by owner Ruta Kahate and her husband Neville Desouza, and while a menu isn’t available yet, it is expected to focus on fresh and healthy options, with sweets and vegan options.
