To be perfectly honest, if this book wasn't set in Milwaukee I'm not sure how I would have liked it. The overall arc of the romance was a bit shallow and I wanted a bit more depth to the main characters, chef Lou and the "Sardonic British transplant" Al. They were really cute and I rooted for them, but found a bunch of things a little too unbelievable

Spoiler

especially the fact they both are okay with hiding what they do for a living while 'dating' and how quickly Lou goes from being engaged to her shitty fiancee to being over it. Yes, he's shitty, but he's almost too shitty to make it believable that she was with him in the first place.'

That said, Reichert excels at making Milwaukee seem like a culinary delight, a place everyone should want to visit, or maybe even stay. She describes the pretty, shiny version of Milwaukee that we all wish it could be every day.

I'm curious to see how Non-Milwaukee and non-native Wisconsite's will review this book, because I'm certainly biased.

I would recommend for a quick read while camping or commuting.
