Dim Sum, Cambodian sandwiches and a French lesson
Friday, 13 March, 2026
We talk about good food on the podcast pretty much every week, but every once in a while we get the chance to combine that with a good cause — as in the case of our first bit of chit-chat for this episode.For the seventh time, Dan Jacobs and Dan Van Rite of EsterEv/DanDan fame will throw their Dim Sum Give Sum event, which raises money for the Kennedy’s Disease Association. Jacobs was diagnosed with the neuromuscular disorder a decade ago, and he’s been a highly visible advocate through his standing in Milwaukee’s culinary community and high-profile appearances like Top Chef: Wisconsin and Tournament of Champions VII.This year’s installment runs from noon to 3 p.m. April 19 at the Italian Community Center and will feature 35 chefs from across the country, including several of Jacobs’ Top Chef compatriots. Dim Sum Give Sum has raised more than $120,000 since its inception, and you can help add to that by grabbing a ticket to the 2026 event.Elsewhere in this episode: It’s off to the Third Street Market Hall, which will welcome Num Pang’s Cambodian-style sandwiches in April. Over in the Third Ward, CASSIS will add to its fast start by launching weekday lunch and an apéro-style happy hour. Then we swing by Zócalo Food Park to welcome Italian food truck Nadi Plates and their signature loaded fries (among other offerings).
