Milwaukee, served by the block

The neighborhood is part of the table.

A food walk should be good for the places serving it, not only the people eating.

Why Common Table

A city tastes better when you know who made it.

Partners are paid per guest

Every bakery, market stall, and restaurant is compensated for the group it hosts.

Tastings are included

Guests know the food plan before they arrive, including the number of stops.

Dietary needs are discussed early

The team confirms what each route can accommodate before the day of the walk.

Why we do it

Built around the people who feed Milwaukee.

Routes are built with the restaurants, bakeries, and market stalls on them. Partners are paid per guest, and guides learn the people and history behind every stop before they lead a group.

What matters to us: Pay local makers fairly and tell the origin stories behind a city’s most loved food.
