Hilton Names New Executive Chef, Audrey Munson-Inspired Menu

The Hilton Madison Monona Terrace announced Chris Running as its new executive chef of The Audrey Kitchen & Bar. Running has nearly a decade of experience working with Marcus Hotels, including Milwaukee’s Pfister Hotel, the Omaha Marriott d Lake Geneva’s Grand Geneva Resort.

Running, an Eau Claire native, has experience in many facets of the kitchen including being a line and pastry cook at Mason Street Grill (Pfister Hotel), sous chef at Society1854 (Omaha Marriott), banquet chef at The Capitol District (Omaha Marriott) and Chef de Cuisine and Banquet Chef at the Grand Geneva Resort.

“I’m excited to have Chef Running on board,” Hilton General Manager Derek Morrison said. “With his dedication, determination, creativity and his willingness to push boundaries to create unique and delicious menu items that tell a story, he is the right leader for our kitchen.”

The Audrey’s new menu embraces the spirit of the restaurant’s namesake, Audrey Munson, the country’s first supermodel whose likeness can be seen atop the Wisconsin State Capitol dome. It features simple yet elegant local food with twists on Wisconsin favorites. Both the breakfast and lunch/dinner menus ighlight different areas of Audrey’s life such as “From Her Farm,” “From Her Bakery,” and “From Her Ballroom.”

The new menus represent a new beginning for the Audrey, which is back to serving at full capacity since the pandemic. The menu rollout began earlier this month.

“This new menu theme is almost a Great Gatsby feel in which Audrey is the host of the party,” Running said. “I wanted to add some historical flair to the new menu, while also paying tribute to some of Wisconsin’s favorites. I look forward to sharing it with the guests and the greater Madison community.”

The Hilton Madison Monona Terrace, located in the heart of downtown Madison with its incredible views, exemplifies a clean, comfortable, modern and vibrant full-service hotel.  Just two blocks from Capital Square and its events, the hotel is connected via sky bridge to the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Monona Terrace Convention Center. It is within walking distance to a variety of shops, parks, night life and the UW Campus.  The hotel’s recent renovation and addition of Audrey Kitchen & Bar indulges the senses with local artistry, unique craft cocktails, and culinary delights.  The Liberty Room located next to the lobby affords a variety of event options including its own separate entrance, set of restrooms, relaxing lounge area and outdoor patio space.  With purposeful intent, the Hilton will deliver the highest levels of service, as the hotel want visitors to be just as excited to come to the property “For The Stay” as they are with the Hilton’s unbeatable location and stunning views.

Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel Lifts the Curtain on Its New Artist in Residence Program

Wisconsin-based interdisciplinary artist Jeff Zimpel named as first-ever Saint Kate Artist-in-Residence

As one of Milwaukee’s most esteemed hotels, Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel, owned and managed by Marcus^® Hotels & Resorts, cultivates curiosity and invigorates creativity through its intimate and immersive arts experiences. To add to its unique programming, the arts hotel recently named interdisciplinary artist Jeff Zimpel as its first Artist-in-Residence. Starting this month, Zimpel will welcome guests to the newly created studio inside Saint Kate where they can engage with his artistic process and witness his art come to life.

“Saint Kate showcases locally, nationally, and internationally known artists that push the boundaries of their artform. Through their incredible and diverse contributions, we create unexpected opportunities for our visitors to discover and connect with artists in new ways,” said Linda Marcus, one of Saint Kate’s visionaries and a nationally recognized multi-disciplinary artist, designer and storyteller. “In choosing Jeff to serve as Saint Kate’s first Artist-in-Residence, we have found an artist who is bold in his practice, inviting those who experience his work to become part of his process and leave their mark along the way.”

Saint Kate’s Artist in Residence Program

Drawing from Marcus Hotels & Resorts’ repertoire of award-winning artistic experiences, Saint Kate’s Artist in Residence program offers Midwest-based artists working in any art form or medium an eight-month residency inside the hotel’s studio. Chosen by Saint Kate’s creative team, the artist’s practice and residency must embody Saint Kate’s commitment to invoke creativity, and promote community and collaboration, while building a common ground between the artist and guests.

The studio will welcome guests to view the Artist-in-Residence’s art as it evolves over time. The Artist-in-Residence will also host events, talks, tours and other opportunities for guests to interact directly with the artist.

During the residency, Saint Kate’s Artist-in-Residence will create a legacy piece that will become part of Saint Kate’s permanent art collection. The residency will end with a two-month exhibition showcasing the artist’s work at Saint Kate.

Jeff Zimpel Begins His Residency at Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel

From Cedarburg, Wisconsin, Jeff Zimpel is an interdisciplinary artist whose art practice intersects painting and photography using mark-making. He explores his artform by developing site-specific installations using a multitude of tools, media, and surfaces to grind colorful rocks into dust and paint vibrant markings using different techniques, ideas, and collaborators. Zimpel encourages guests to be part of his process as they interact with his work, such as helping build the tools, preparing the color for his next piece, and exchanging ideas to inspire future works.

“I’m honored to be named the first Artist-in-Residence at Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel,” said Zimpel. “I’ve long admired Saint Kate’s mission to provide an arts experience that arouses our imagination while inviting all to explore the creative process. This beautifully aligns with my work as I feel every person is a mark-maker, yet we have so much to learn from marks made by the world around us. I’m looking forward to sharing my art with Saint Kate’s guests and drawing attention to the ecology around us as visitors contribute to my process and evolve my art in ways I never expected.”

Extending his ongoing community-based project “An Ecology of Marks,” Zimpel will transform Saint Kate’s AIR Space into an ecosystem of creative potential. His residency will serve as a component to his larger project and will be titled “Studio Ecology” as guests explore his ecological approach to living and creating his art in Saint Kate’s studio.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jeff to Saint Kate as its first-ever Artist-in-Residence,” said Brandon Drusch, general manager at Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel. “The program is an extension of what Saint Kate is – a place to celebrate the arts unlike anywhere else. Jeff understands what it means to go beyond his medium and develop art pieces that foster discussion, entice curiosity, and allow our guests to dive deeper into each piece. His unique ability to connect our guests and visitors to his work as co-collaborators will create breathtaking pieces while offering more opportunities for our guests to be immersed in the arts.”

Zimpel is currently the instructional designer for Arts@Large in Milwaukee and has also taught art and design at secondary and collegiate levels. He holds a Master of Fine Arts in art and social engagement from the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design from Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee. Zimpel and his work have been featured in exhibitions and residencies throughout the greater Milwaukee area, including with Arts@Large, Cedarburg Cultural Center in Cedarburg, and Create Space MKE in Milwaukee.

Good Housekeeping Magazine: 15 Best Destinations to Visit in November list

Milwaukee and Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel’s restaurant ARIA were recommended by Good Housekeeping Magazine as great places to visit in November.

According to the article:

Just north of Chicago, this Windy City neighbor is teeming with arts, culture and award-winning culinary experiences. Just this year, the city claimed nine James Beard semifinalists. Visitors can dine at prominent spots like Sanford, a critically-acclaimed restaurant that features a surprise tasting menu with seven courses, ARIA, which is housed on the second floor of the cool and contemporary Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel, for artisanal Midwest cuisine. With several festivals including the Holiday Folk Fair International and the annual Train Fest, which returns for the first time since 2019 due to the Covid-19 pandemic — Milwaukee is jam-packed with unexpected gems to pique your interest.

The Pfister Hotel Names Christopher T Woods as Its Next Artist-in-Residence

13th artist-in-residence succeeds conceptual abstraction artist Nykoli Koslow

The AAA Four Diamond Pfister Hotel, owned and managed by Marcus^® Hotels & Resorts, today announced Christopher T Wood as its 13th artist-in-residence. Wood, a Milwaukee-based pataphysical illustrator, will work in The Pfister Hotel’s lobby-level Artist Studio for one year beginning April 1, 2022. He will succeed current Pfister artist-in-residence and conceptual abstraction artist, Nykoli Koslow.

“I am honored to be chosen as The Pfister Hotel’s next artist-in-residence. To be able to connect with hotel guests and incorporate their experiences into my work will result in incredible pieces that will build upon each other to eventually tell the story of The Pfister and all who enter this iconic destination. By drawing a new piece every day during my residency, I will build a web linking hotel guests across time and space, offering a collection of drawings around the studio for all to enjoy. I look forward to this opportunity and to sharing my work with the community,” said Wood.

By applying unique processes he has developed over time, Wood creates drawings consisting of powdered graphite and exquisite shading that form distinct creations. He plans to draw a new piece each day that will eventually become a set of drawings, each serving as an extension of the other. The drawings may overlap, enhance or repeat to further showcase the experiences felt at that particular point in time. Wood’s work has been on display in exhibitions around the globe. Currently, his pieces can be seen at Portrait Society Gallery in Milwaukee as well as in the Wisconsin Artists Biennial 2022 exhibition at the Museum of Wisconsin Art (MOWA) in West Bend, Wisconsin. He also shares his talent with his students as an adjunct professor at Ripon College in Ripon, Wisconsin and as a lecturer at University Wisconsin – Milwaukee.

During his residency, Wood plans to transform one side of the Artist Studio into a viewable working space so guests can witness his process firsthand. The other side of the studio will be a display and reception area allowing guests to see Wood’s daily drawings and to learn their story. The studio will also include the opportunity for visitors to answer a prompt, share an experience or submit an image in order to contribute to Wood’s process.

“For 13 years, The Pfister’s Artist in Residence program has put a spotlight on the city’s arts community in a uniquely accessible way,” said Tim Smith, managing director of The Pfister Hotel. “We are thrilled to host Christopher and his amazing talent within the hotel’s Artist Studio. Our guests will be in awe as they watch the transformation of a blank sheet of paper turn into a spectacular piece of art right before their eyes. Christopher’s pieces stand on their own but link in continuum, bringing our guests along in his journey.”

More information about Wood’s work can be found at www.christophertwood.com.

Nykoli Koslow Brings His Residency to an End

Serving as The Pfister’s 12th artist-in-residence, Koslow was awarded the role for two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. While guests can continue to see his work in the Artist Studio until March 31, 2022, they can also visit Koslow’s new exhibition, “Queer Mythologies: Transabstractions,” in The Gallery at Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel through June 26, 2022.

About The Pfister Hotel
At more than 125 years old, The Pfister Hotel is one of the oldest and most prestigious hotels in the Midwest and downtown Milwaukee. Originally opened in 1893 by businessman Guido Pfister, it was the most lavish hotel of its time.

The Marcus Corporation renovated and restored the hotel to its original glory, adding convention facilities, a parking garage and 23-story guest tower. The Pfister Hotel is home to the largest collection of Victorian art of any hotel in the world, as well as an award-winning Artist in Residence program.

Today, The Pfister Hotel continues its tradition of gracious service and impeccable style and has been recognized by AAA as a Four Diamond property for 45 consecutive years. In 2021, The Pfister was recognized as a Top Hotel in the Midwest in Condé Nast Traveler’s prestigious annual Reader’s Choice Awards for the third consecutive year and was ranked the No. 1 Best Milwaukee Hotel by U.S. News & World Report.

Milwaukee’s Secret Spy Refuge Turns 55

Agents can begin their weeklong mission of celebrating Control’s birthday at SafeHouse Milwaukee beginning October 3

For over half of a century, SafeHouse Milwaukee has been a local landmark and cultural icon serving as the city’s secret restaurant and late-night bar that offers refuge to spies from around the globe. On October 8, 2021, Control, the mysterious entity tasked with establishing and maintaining the SafeHouse Restaurants, is celebrating its birthday and SafeHouse’s 55th anniversary. In honor of these exciting milestones, Control has initiated top-secret weeklong missions for agents who find the red door located somewhere in downtown Milwaukee.

The secret missions, which are set to begin October 3, will celebrate SafeHouse Milwaukee’s 55th anniversary and Control’s birthday for an entire week with specials every agent can enjoy. Those that reveal the exclusive weeklong code word to a SafeHouse serving accomplice will also receive daily complimentary* rations, refreshments and other spy favorites, including:

• Sunday, October 3: Agents can start the weeklong missions with a complimentary “Aston Martin,” a fast-paced brunch concoction to speed up any morning.
• Monday, October 4: A dangerously tasty complimentary Long Island Iced Tea Flight awaits spies at SafeHouse during this day’s mission.
• Tuesday, October 5: To celebrate Global James Bond Day, secret agents can receive SafeHouse’s classic martini, “The Great Spytini.”
• Wednesday, October 6: Spies entering this mission will receive a free fountain beverage voucher when they see No Time to Die at a Marcus Theatre, valid through 10/21/21.
• Thursday, October 7: To honor the city that SafeHouse has called home for the last 55 years, spies can celebrate with complimentary fried C4 cheese curds.
• Friday, October 8 and Saturday, October 9: With Friday the official anniversary date of SafeHouse and Control’s birthday, agents who arrive for their mission will receive complimentary SafeHouse merchandise.

*Complimentary items are available with any purchase.

Intel has it that there is no cover charge during the top-secret weeklong celebration and reservations are encouraged but not required.

As another way to celebrate being Milwaukee’s best kept secret for 55 years, SafeHouse Milwaukee is featuring a new interactive mural installation in the alley near the red door so spies can practice their poses before entering and leaving without a trace. Created by Agent Chroma (a.k.a. Fred Kaems), an award-winning Milwaukee-based multidisciplinary artist, the mural is a clue for spies to locate SafeHouse. Inside SafeHouse, agents can continue to discover the world’s largest puzzle wall and other spy works of art created by the late Agent Two Cents (a.k.a. Carl Ruppert), a local artist who created many of SafeHouse’s iconic characters and artwork.

“For generations, Safehouse has offered spies from around the world the gadgets and puzzles they need to test their skills, satisfy their hunger and quench their thirst before their next mission,” said Agent BB (a.k.a. Greg Marcus). “Disappearing chairs, spinning booths and authentic espionage artifacts make Safehouse a must-see destination with the best kept secrets. Whether you are coming back for your 55th time or passing your first clearance test, there is always something new to discover at Safehouse. Just don’t forget the password!”

Since opening in 1966, spies have traveled near and far to come to this undercover hideaway. Under the alias, International Exports Ltd., SafeHouse Milwaukee’s location is never divulged. Agents must also provide a password to enter to ensure all who visit are safe spies. However, for spies who do not know the password, a clearance test will be given to prove they are not double agents. Once inside, all can explore a world of global espionage and entertainment with timeless artifacts, movie props, weapons, gadgets, novelty machines and many of the same secrets from 55 years ago.

About the SafeHouse Restaurants

SafeHouse, managed by Marcus Restaurant Group, a division of Marcus Hotels & Resorts, is a local landmark and cultural icon, attracting hungry spies from around the world. Having two covert locations in Chicago and Milwaukee, SafeHouse challenges spies with an all-encompassing experience and a one-of-a-kind mission during their visit. From the moment they locate the top-secret entrance and pass the agent authorization process, to the sleek Interpol Bar and Interrogation Room, every aspect of SafeHouse contains interactive elements, spy technology, and puzzles to seamlessly fuse an action-packed atmosphere with delicious food and signature cocktails. The Chicago location features a 21^st century design led by award-winning firms, The Gettys Group and Epstein Global, while the Milwaukee location boasts 55 years of spy history, gadgetry and the world’s largest puzzle wall. Both feature an unparalleled menu with spy food to satisfy the needs of every secret agent, served in an authentic espionage experience. For more on SafeHouse Restaurants, visit www.safe-house.com.

Dining 

The hotel is currently home to Edgewater Grille where guests can enjoy breakfast options, lunch specials and a welcoming dinner experience. Hyatt Regency Coralville Hotel & Conference Center’s renovations will include a new bar and restaurant concept that will offer guests a place to gather and enjoy locally sourced, seasonal menus.
