MILWAUKEE — Once again, some of the top chefs across Milwaukee are taking McDonald's ingredients and turning them into brand new delicious dishes. It was the 9th annual fundraiser for SHARP Literacy called Unwrapped MKE.
The fundraiser at the 3rd Street Market Hall supports SHARP Literacy's efforts to promote and support its STEAM-based experiential learning programs at schools in Milwaukee, Racine, and Waukesha counties. The organization was formed as a non-profit in 1996.
The event features nine different chefs who are tasked with taking McDonald's ingredients given to them by the company's suppliers and using them to make a unique dish. They can also add their own twists and tricks.
Here's what was served at the event:
- Anomaly Catering – The Smack’d Snack: Signature Smack n Cheeze and Iced Out Tea Slushies
