A special congratulations go to the 2024 high school graduates from Joey Gerard’s – A Bartolotta Supper Club!

Cheers to you four and to all our 2024 graduates!

Last week, our owner and co-founder, Chef Paul Bartolotta was honored with the Joe Bartolotta Hospitality Award at VISIT Milwaukee's annual meeting. The award goes to an individual in the hospitality industry who has demonstrated exemplary commitment and passion for Milwaukee and its residents through initiatives that uplift the community, a precedent that Joe set and one we strive to continually meet in his honor. It was truly a joy to gather in celebration of Milwaukee’s growth over this past year at the Annual Meeting. Thank you, Visit Milwaukee, for the honor and recognition.

And that’s a wrap of Top Chef Wisconsin, but it is not the end of the story! This is truly Milwaukee’s moment to shine. We are so thankful to have partnered with Visit Milwaukee and Travel Wisconsin to help bring this amazing show to our state. We could not have done this without their partnership, but also our amazing team members, including Rossetti Public Relations, who worked tirelessly throughout the entire process. From welcoming and hosting the production crew during site visits, serving the judges and guest judges on several of the episodes, to jumping in and helping out whenever and wherever needed during filming. We could only have done this through our “One Team Bartolotta” focus. We are also thrilled to see one of Milwaukee’s own, Chef Dan Jacobs of DanDan, make it to the final three! Thank you, Dan, for helping to focus the spotlight on the Milwaukee dining scene, but also highlighting that no matter what someone’s circumstances may be – they can accomplish whatever they set their mind to! It was truly an honor to be a part of this special moment for our city and state, and we cannot wait to welcome all those that will want to come to Milwaukee and experience the culinary creativity and hospitality we see day in and day out.

Congratulations to all the restaurants highlighted through the state on Season 21 of Top Chef. We were honored to host the cast and crew at Harbor House and Ristorante Bartolotta dal 1993, and to be a part of an amazing experience for Milwaukee, Madison, and the entire state of Wisconsin! https://bit.ly/3VlmVYp

Thank you, Missy Hughes, for sharing such a meaningful sentiment! It took leaders like you to bring Top Chef home. We are incredibly proud to see Wisconsin and Milwaukee showcased to the world, and agree with you that the Wisconsin story is ours to tell!
