Both she and her husband, Scott, are avid cooks and �wine heads,� and love to entertain friends, family and neighbors as frequently as possible.

	Honeypie shows promise
	There is much to like about Honeypie, 2643 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., the Bay View restaurant owned and operated by the same folks that have done great things with Comet Cafe, Palomino and Fuel. But while Honeypie's atmosphere and menu are pleasing, there are still some kinks that need to be worked out.

	Scouting report: Kurt's Steak House in Delafield
	In recent years, the term "steak house" has become synonymous with the phrase "� la carte." But Kurt's Steak House in Delafield sheds that misconception, offering steak house quality cuts with the accoutrements, atmosphere and price of a traditional Wisconsin supper club.

	Wicked Hop shows some inconsistency at the plate
	One of the most consistently busy restaurants Amy Schubert has encountered during her review tour has got to be The Wicked Hop. But what is it that makes the Hop so busy? While the service can be imperfect, The Wicked Hop hits some homers in the kitchen.

	Creative burgers, extras make Stack'd worth a stop
	It seems that the culinary scene is undergoing a burger revolution of sorts, with media outlets pumping out articles on the hunt for the perfect burger, sliders cropping up on menus of restaurants large and small and a trend forming towards "gourmet" grass-fed beef. Stack'd, the burger bar at 170 S. 1st St., has found a winning combination of beef, beer and extras.

	Reinventing leftovers: Meatloaf and mashed potatoes to Shepherd's pie
	Okay, for round two, let's try converting meatloaf and mashed potatoes into Shepherd's pie; both of which could likely be classified as classic comfort foods.

	Dining is a fine complement to wining at Balzac
	As the name suggests, wine takes center stage at Balzac Wine Bar. The menu is unique, and the moderate prices allow guest to share a few small plates or grab a sandwich or salad without blowing the budget. Overall, the experience at Balzac is one of serenity. It's nice to have a nook to grab a bottle and know that if you do decide to eat, there are some very good options to play with.

	El Fuego heats up Layton Avenue dining scene
	If a continuously packed parking lot doesn't give you a clue, El Fuego is the most popular dining spot to rear its head on the street in decades, maybe ever. The restaurant, whose name translates to "the fire," has lit a fire in the bellies of many South Side diners, creating an already loyal and large following.

	Reinventing leftovers
	In our house, we often struggle with eating leftovers. Point blank, no matter how well-intentioned you are, it's downright difficult to get yourself to eat the same thing day after day until it's gone. (Okay, so maybe some things are easier than others to do this with, but I still think you get my drift.)

	Cheap meal of the week: Creamed chipped beef

	Scouting report: Taylor's People's Park in Waukesha
	If someone mentions Taylor's, you likely think immediately of the jet-setter bar on the corner of Jefferson and Wells Streets that has accommodated Jazz in the Park patrons and the nighttime cocktail crowd since the mid-1990s. Earlier this year, Dan and Jim Taylor brought some of the elements of the hotspot to Waukesha's revitalized Downtown.
