Chef Paul Funk & Saint Kate's secret steakhouse
b'
When you head to a steakhouse, you know more or less what you\\u2019re going to get: quality steaks, probably seafood, and numerous comforting side dishes. All are generally served in a dimly lit environment with a traditional service model. But not at Saint Kate, Milwaukee\\u2019s first Arts Hotel, where everything is a bit unexpected.
On this week\\u2019s podcast, we chat with Saint Kate Executive Chef Paul Funk about his culinary journey, from his childhood interests in food, to his work in Colorado, France, Italy and Wyoming. We\\u2019ll also discuss how these experiences gave him a unique preparation for his role at Saint Kate, and his direction of the hotel\\u2019s \\u201csecret\\u201d steakhouse, The Dark Room (TDR). We discuss what makes the TDR experience unique, from its hidden entrance to its menu of uniquely delicious steakhouse-inspired items.
