New Milwaukee Dining Experience

Left with an amazing space after the celebrated Roots closed its door recently, developer Tim Dixon recruited long-time friend and F&B consultant Gina Gruenwald to open a new restaurant. She turned to executive chef Dan Jacobs, Stack’d Burger Bar GM Joe McPherson and a host of former talented Roots employees to create Wolf Peach.

The story begins in 1519, when Hernán Cortés came ashore to the Costa Rican gardens of Montezuma and discovered what we now know as the tomato. He took the seeds back to Europe where they were ornamental curiosities, but not eaten. Throughout northern Europe, the tomato was considered to be poisonous. The wealthy dined on pewter; the acid in tomatoes reacted with the metal resulting in lead poisoning and death. Poor people ate from plates made of wood and were unaffected, so tomatoes became a poor man’s food. German folklore associates this nightshade plant with witches and werewolves, coining a name which literally translates to “Wolf Peach”.
