Two years ago when Visit Milwaukee appointed me to write this blog, I knew that someday this would come. This, being my final post ever for Taste of the Town. It’s been a fun and tasty couple of years, but times they are a changin’.
I’m now a mother and until my little one gets a little older, quality take out is pretty much the gold standard for restaurant selection these days. Once our daughter does reach an age where we can take her and her toddler friends along, we’ll probably be relegated mostly to chain restaurants where she can make a total mess of the place and we’ll have to bribe the staff with massive tips so they don’t ban us from returning.
Of greater importance, Visit Milwaukee has decided to merge the topic of this blog, namely, food, into Karen’s blog over at Play in the City. Eventually it may even become a vblog, which I think will be pretty cool.
So to all my faithful (and not so faithful!) readers, thank you. It’s been fun. Please remember to check in with me from time to time at my new blog, Beauty of Motherhood, and tap into Play in the City for both entertainment and dining news.
Thanks again and bon appétit!
Audra! I’m really sad that you won’t be continuing Taste of the Town.
I really enjoyed the site and all you’ve done for it. Seriously. I love your writing. You write eloquently with a witty and upbeat style, so I’ll definitely follow you to your new site.
Thanks for so many exciting reads and good luck with your future endeavors... and with the new baby, of course!

Audra, I too will miss your writing, recommendations and forewarnings. I loved visiting the site to read about your recent excursions into the culinary culture of MKE and following suite after you gave a rave review.
I'm sad to see you go, but I will no doubt follow your writing, despite not being a Mom yet :) just to read of your latest finds.
Bon Voyage! And I wish you to enjoy every moment with your lovely family.

Hi There
I just stumbled upon your blog and think it is an excellent read for foodies and especially like the photos and design of the blog.I started off as a blogger myself and realise the importance of a good clean design like you have here. I have now bookmarked it for myself to read and have added you to our new list of "all the food blogs in the world" on www.ifoods.tv which we have been compiling for the last month! Hopefully it will send you some traffic in the long run. Looking forward to reading your thoughts on food so keep up the good work and talk soon. Cheers
