Dan Sidner and Joe Muench of Black Shoe Hospitality are the business partners behind three of Milwaukee’s favorite restaurants — Maxie’s (2007), Blue’s Egg (2010) and Story Hill BKC (2014) — loved by dining critics and repeat customers alike.
With plans for a second Blue’s Egg restaurant in Shorewood in 2018, Sidner sat down with us to talk about the business of running an award-winning operation — an SBA Wisconsin Award and top workplace honors among them.
As staffing presents an ongoing challenge, Sidner discusses what’s behind Black Shoe’s internal culture of excellence (COE) model, aimed at fostering rewarding careers in hospitality.
