MARCH 2008 WUWM Public Radio Burger Quest review with WUWM Public Radio (start clip at 8:19) WUWM Public Radio Lake Effect's Host/Producer Jane Hampden talks burgers with Milwaukee Magazine's Dining Critic Ann Christenson. "A great burger and fun place to go is Sobelman's...part of what's great about this and I can talk all about buns too...they have a wonderful Breadsmith bun. It's really a quality bun. If you have a really juicy patty and don't have a strong bun - it gets soggy and that can be a problem and that's not the case here. Sobelman's has a fantastic bun, a good burger and great value."

NOVEMBER 1, 2004 QSR Magazine 2ND PLACE WINNER FOR GRAPHIC DESIGN DISTINCTION! 2004 QSR/FPI Foodservice Packaging Awards Bigger and better was the unofficial theme of this year's awards program. In year two of the partnership between QSR and the Foodservice & Packaging Institute, we enjoyed more entries -- roughly 50 percent increase this year -- and extended the judging period to two days. Entrants ran the gamut from the humble paper bag to corn-based containers to a giant lentricular popcorn tub, and hitting all points in between. The panel of judges came from a variety of backgrounds, too, but there was actually little disagreement in their reactions to the entries. Either they were an extraordinarily nice group of people, or the winners in this year's competition really did stand out. In truth, it was some of both. more...

Congratulations to Breadsmith of Springfield for being recognized as having the "Best Bread" in Springfield Magazine's 2004 Readers' Poll. MARCH 25, 2004 The News-Leader European hard-crust breads, small-town service The Malkmuses bake European hard-crust breads and some soft-crust breads. They bake seven different types of bread daily. In addition, they offer a number of specialty breads each day of the week, which are posted on a calendar in the store. Among the specialty breads: raisin walnut, tomato basil, wheat flax seed or challa. "Everything is made from scratch. We use no mixes, and don't add fats, oil or preservative," said Gary Malkmus. An employee who mixes the dough comes in to work at 1:30 a.m. At 5 a.m. two bakers arrive and cut dough, shape it and place it on racks. The bread is baked in a steam-injected hearth oven. This gives their bread the crusty exterior. more... FEBRUARY 2004 Baking Buyer Are You Experienced? Bakeries increase sales by selling more than just products and services. Picture if you will a farm fresh apple pie that's just been pulled from the oven and is cooling on a windowsill. Red and white gingham curtains softly flap in the breeze and the inviting smell of cinnamon and apples hangs in the air. Now ask yourself how many of your customers have ever actually seen this in their own lives. If they are under the age of 40, grew up in a city or had two working parents, the answer is probably never. But that doesn't stop them from wanting it. more...
