Lori Fredrich

Lori is an avid cook whose accrual of condiments and spices is rivaled only by her cookbook collection. Her passion for the culinary industry was birthed while balancing A&W root beer mugs as a teenage carhop, fed by insatiable curiosity and fueled by the people whose stories entwine with each and every dish. She’s had the privilege of chronicling these tales through her work as Dining Editor at OnMilwaukee.com, podcaster for the FoodCrush Podcast and dining expert on WTMJ-4 Television’s “Milwaukee Tonight.”

Lori is the author of “Milwaukee Food: A History of Cream City Cuisine” and "Wisconsin Field to Fork: Farm Fresh Recipes from the Dairy State. Her recipes and writing have also been featured in a variety of publications including "Bon Appetit," “Cheese Connoisseur,” “Cooking Light,” and “Edible Milwaukee,” among others.
