The "Social Circle" is a group effort between readers, social networkers and the OnMilwaukee.com editors. Every Monday, we ask a question via Facebook and Twitter and then post the responses from our Facebook "likers" and Twitter followers in this column. Well-known Milwaukee movers and shakers will contribute, too.
From veal brains to hopple popple, many Milwaukee eateries serve up signature dishes.
Here are the Social Circle’s picks for their favorite unique menu item, and feel free to add yours via the Talkback feature.
