Just because the Wisconsin State Fair has wrapped up doesn’t mean the fun has to end! Milwaukee Burger Company in Franklin is keeping the spirit alive with their State Fair Bloody Mary for the month of August. Known for their outrageous monthly Bloody Mary creations, this one is a full-on tribute to the iconic foods of the fair.

Priced at $25, this Bloody Mary comes loaded with enough fixin’s to satisfy even the hungriest fairgoer: a Cajun dill pickle rim, classic MBC skewer, three mini donuts, state fair cheese curds, deep-fried pickles, two duck wontons, elote, and bacon on a stick. It’s the perfect blend of savory, salty, and sweet—a true taste of the fair in a glass.

Here’s the breakdown of this one:

•   Spices/Flavor: Homemade Bloody Mary mix with a Cajun dill pickle rim
•   Fixin’s: 3 mini donuts, state fair cheese curds, deep-fried pickles, duck wontons, elote, bacon on a stick
•   Chaser: Choose from any of their extensive beers on tap
•   Price: $25

For the amount of food that comes with it, it’s definitely worth the price, especially for those who love fried fair foods. While I’m not the biggest fan of fried options, I would have loved to see a nod to Wisconsin’s iconic cream puffs—maybe as part of the chaser or as a sweet bite on the skewer. Either way, this Bloody Mary is a delicious tribute to the fair, and I can’t wait to see what September’s rumored “Back to School” theme brings.

If you’re in Franklin and want to relive a bit of State Fair magic, this Bloody Mary is worth checking out!

We reviewed the Milwaukee Burger Company earlier this year when we stopped at their Appleton location.

There are 3 locations for this local chain, yet none of them are actually in Milwaukee. You have to go to Appleton, Eau Claire, or now Franklin, which is the closest option to Milwaukee.

However, it is worth the drive for they have six different Bloody Marys on the menu.

Last time, we tried the 34-oz. Big Mil Bloody, which was good. But this time, we tried the Bacon Bloody.

MIX:  Looked like they used their own mix at this location

CHASER: The Milwaukee Burger Company locations have 30+ taps each. Choose from any!

FIXIN’S: Homemade brown sugar jalapeno and applewood bacons, celery, olive, cheeses, beefstick, pickle

PRICE:  $6.99

Like the Big Mil, this Bloody Mary was well worth the price. Couple this with happy hour prices on drinks and wings, tons of TVs and fun bartenders, we’ll definitely be back to sample the other options over time, guaranteed.

 

 

Kind of ironic that we had to drive to Appleton, Wisconsin to visit the Milwaukee Burger Company.

Of course, we had to try the 34-oz. Big Mil Bloody:
