Quick question for fellow restaurant owners: are you also in a tight spot lately? Between rising food costs and guests cutting back, it’s getting tough. Curious how others are managing and if you’re seeing the same trend

At @amilindamke.bsky.social , we’ve taken this traditional dish and given it our own spin: Lamb Croquettes. Crispy on the outside, rich and savory inside with a hint of Aleppo, and sitting on a bed of vibrant tomato sauce.

A huge thank you to Lori Fredrich and the entire team at OnMilwaukee for putting together such an incredible article about Amilinda’s 10th anniversary. Your words truly capture what this milestone means to us, and we’re so grateful for the care and time you put into telling our story.

These men were building us homes.

The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants.
Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS.
Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

I’m honored to be the recipient of the Vivent Health 2025 Courage Award.

Now more than ever, we must make our voices heard and our presence felt. With the current administration slashing funding, every HIV-positive person is being put on a dangerous path—one that risks turning back the clock.

Support small businesspeople like @chefgregleon.bsky.social and @amilindamke.bsky.social by opposing Trump and his trade "policy." This is 1,000% bullshit. #tariffsaretaxes

About (maybe) 2 years ago, maybe a year and a half ago I was on the other platform and I said Mexico City was the culinary capital of America’s at the moment and I got torn apart on there… 👀
