Three Milwaukee businesses are joining forces to take elevated dining to a new level. On Oct. 18, Canni, 1033 and Cream City Wellness will present a collaborative, four-course dinner featuring food and beverages infused with CBD and Delta-9 THC.
The event will welcome guests age 21 and over to The Lanai event space, 810 S. 5th St., at 5 p.m. to enjoy a menu created by Adam Kemmler, executive chef at 1033.
In addition to Kemmler’s fine-dining flair, the dishes will feature exclusive infusions specially-made by Cream City Wellness. To pair, Canni will provide housemade aperitifs from its café and infusion bar.
In describing the event, the businesses said the experience “encapsulates all that we represent: innovation, creativity, quality, and community.”
Tickets are $150 each and are available for purchase online. Tax and gratuity is included. Each guest will also receive a $10 gift card to 1033.
Additional details, including a full menu, will be shared in the coming days.

Mediterranean Restaurant Coming to Brewery District
Fil Fil is poised to add a second location just six months after launching its first restaurant near the Marquette University campus.
The fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant is headed to 1125 N. 9th St., where it will join a number of existing counter-service eateries within The Restaurants at Eleven25. The food court-style operation is at the ground level of the Eleven25 student apartment complex.
Owner Fady Qetairi debuted the restaurant at 700 W. Wisconsin Ave. last April, serving an extensive menu of American and Middle Eastern dishes — from chicken wings and fries to falafel and tabouli salad.
The restaurant found quick success among neighbors, downtown office workers and nearby college students, making the decision to expand an easy one, according to Qetairi.
A Bay View sports bar and restaurant will remain closed until Oct. 25 following a 15-day suspension handed down by the City of Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee Common Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to suspend Little Cancun Sports, 3040 S. Delaware Ave., based on testimony from neighbors who complained of excess noise and litter from the business and its patrons.
The suspension went into effect at midnight on Oct. 10.
Micah Oge, a neighbor, told the Licenses Committee that he observed a notable change in the business after the pandemic. The business, previously known as Little Cancun, closed in 2021 and reopened last October with a greater emphasis on sports.
C-viche will shutter its Bay View location in late October after nearly eight years in service.
The restaurant’s Shorewood location, which opened last year, will remain in operation and absorb Bay View’s staff while owner Karlos Soriano seeks a new space for the soon-to-close restaurant, according to a Wednesday afternoon social media post from the business.
Wisconsin Sen. Kelda Roys (D-Madison) loves real maple syrup so much that she’s kept a bottle in her purse so she’s never out to breakfast and forced to put artificial syrup on her pancakes.
Last week, due to her love of maple syrup nearly as intense as Buddy, the main character in the movie Elf, Roys and Rep. Dave Considine (D-Baraboo), introduced legislation aimed at preventing restaurants from mislabeling artificial syrup as the real deal.
“One of my pet peeves is when I go to a restaurant and I ask ‘do you have real maple syrup?’ And they say yes,” Roys said. “And then I order based on that information, and then you can just see when they’re walking towards the table, that’s not real maple syrup, and I’m just like, ‘I should have ordered the omelet.'”
Under the bill, which Reps. Jodi Emerson (D-Eau Claire) and Shae Sortwell (R-Two Rivers) signed on to co-sponsor shortly after its introduction, “public eating places” won’t be allowed to identify a product as maple syrup on labels or menus unless it is actually maple syrup. The proposal’s co-sponsorship memo notes that Wisconsin already has similar provisions preventing restaurant-goers from being served margarine instead of butter or honey with added sweeteners. The bill doesn’t include any enforcement mechanisms or penalties for restaurants, but Considine said the goal is to set a “standard” for supporting the state’s nearly $14 million syrup industry.
