Biography

Audra has diligently sampled everything from rhubarb pie to rattlesnake in an effort to sate her palate's curiosity for tastefully flavored fare.

Now she's cutting into Milwaukee's culinary scene in an attempt to determine once and for all what this city has to offer for foodies like herself.

A freelance writer who recently relocated from Dallas, Texas, Audra has spent the last six years working in various capacities of the public relations and communications fields. She openly admits to hoarding a stash of Valrhona chocolate and to consuming mad amounts of rich, dark coffee. Audra also admits she has yet to frame her B.A. in English from Oklahoma State University.

A native of Oklahoma, Audra grew up in a family of southern style cooks who taught her that with good family beside you and good food on the table, anything is possible.
