Mr. Perkins' Family Restaurant

"Mr. Perkins' has been a neighborhood gathering place since 1969."

"Mr. Perkins' dining room. That's us, in the mirror, on the far right, Michael holding the camera."

"Milwaukee's sign of comfort food, soul-food style."
Michael Stern



"We love partitioned plates. This one holds a heap of fried perch on the right, fried green tomatoes in front, turnip bottoms at the left rear, and a piece of corn bread on the back. Behind the corn bread is a cup of pear preserves."
