Smashing expectations: Fox Den has launched a weird burger revolution from the back room of Great Lakes Distillery

Experience Milwaukee

In this episode, Steve and Adam chat with Jacob, the co-owner of Fox Den, a unique smash burger restaurant located inside Great Lakes Distillery in Milwaukee.

Jacob shares the ups and downs of the journey from food truck aspirations to establishing a brick-and-mortar location to running a restaurant known for unconventional flavor combinations.

Here are a few highlights:

• Jacob and his partner Sherry Lynn started with a food truck concept, faced challenges, and eventually found a home for their unique smash burger restaurant called Fox Den at Great Lakes Distillery in Milwaukee.
• Fox Den specializes in "weird" burgers with unconventional flavor combinations inspired by regional cuisines, aiming to provide customers with dishes they can't easily make at home.
• While being located in the back of the distillery presents visibility challenges, the restaurant is gaining popularity through word-of-mouth and offers fast service for their creative menu items.
