Monday Munchies Episode 003: Welcome to Monday Munchies. On these episodes you will be sitting shotgun on my adventures of exploring restaurants in the past few weeks. I am not a certified food critic but I do love to eat and some would say that I do have a certain set of skills… I’m not sure what those are nor am I a “yelper” like the majority of residents in South Park, Colorado. But I do love trying new restaurants and food. So enjoy: Restaurants: - SodoSoPa - Cafe Hoang - Piece Pizza - Xoco - Happy Camper

Hudson Cafe - Jenny Hochschild Jenny Hochschild started working in restaurants in college where she studied art and graphic design. She still work as an artist but a restaurant job is great for me because I have a well rounded background in food service and I like the flexibility of hours. And it’s fun! She’s had many jobs since college in the restaurant industry. After school she tried commercial art for a while and didn’t care for it so she got a job at a fabulous place called The Main Street Bistro in Racine. That’s where she really learned how to cook and appreciate the finer art of food. She moved to Milwaukee about 20 years ago and worked at a few different places, Mimmas, Eagans on Water and The Waterfront deli. She’s been at Hudson for 2 years and feel it’s one of the best jobs she’s ever had.
