Wisconsin bounty meets live fire cooking

There’s nothing quite like fresh, local fare that’s been caramelized by the caress of live fire. And that’s exactly what you’ll find at Birch, the reimagined Cream City restaurant which specializes in hearth-fired cooking.

On this week’s podcast, we’re taking a closer look at all that deliciousness with Chef Kyle Knall, an accomplished chef whose commitment to fresh, local produce is as impressive as his ability to coax flavor from ingredients using one of the oldest cooking methods known to humankind. During our conversation, Knall delves into the nuances of cooking with fire, the approach he takes at the helm of the restaurant and his vision for Birch guests’ experiences. Along the way, we glean insights into his culinary background and his impressions of Milwaukee, a city he’s adopted as home.
