R.I.P. Ceriello's at Milwaukee Public Market

As I went over to the Milwaukee Public market today I was sad to see that Ceriello's at the Milwaukee Public Market had closed shop. I had read rumors of their demise, but it seemed like it was just rumors as they seemed to be plugging along in recent weeks.

While Ceriello's is technically a national chain they did offer one thing that I felt was unique to the Milwaukee marketplace and that was the dry aged steak.

If you like steak and haven't had a dry aged one you are really missing out. They are incredibly expensive in the restaurants that offer them so the ability to purchase them and grill them yourself made them affordable.

They were also a good vendor who seemed to fit in well with what the Market is trying to offer. They will be missed.

On a positive note I think the Public market has made some positive changes and will continue to refine its format. El Rey will be opening up a Taqueria and Kehr's Candies and The Spice House are expaning their offerings, so good things are continuing to happen.

Good New!

Ceriello's is still in the Metro Milwaukee area. They have moved to downtown Delafield, where you can still find those great aged meats!
