MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Freshwater Food & Wine Festival is the first of its kind to come to the lakefront. This Saturday and Sunday, you can watch demos from some of the best chefs in the business: some local and some you've seen on TV.
Tickets will get you into the grounds to see demos from a handful of well-known chefs like Dan Jacobs, Elena Terry and George Motz.
The event is being held at Henry Maier Festival Park. There will be more than a dozen food vendors and wines from every region.
