FULL EPISODE: Widmer's Cheese Cellars | Loui's Pizza (Detroit, MI)

In this episode of Wisconsin Foodie, Luke takes a detour from our typical Foodie path and finds himself in Detroit, Michigan in search of some of the best “Detroit Style” pizza. Loui’s is famous for their pies and what makes them so special is WI brick cheese. Luke meets with the owner and head pizza maker to try his hand at making this unique style of pizza. Brick cheese is the key ingredient in Detroit Pizza and there is one cheesemaker that stands out in Wisconsin, Widmer’s Cheese. Luke gets a tour of the process at Widmer’s and finds out the story and origin of Brick cheese.

One thing that was shown in this episode but was not discussed is the fact that in "Detroit style" pizza, the sauce is placed on top of all the other ingredients, hence accounting for the "crispy crunch" of the pizza's crust. In "traditional" pizzas, the sauce is usually placed directly on top of the crust, and can therefore result in a certain sogginess.

Unfortunately some things need to be cut out for time, this was one of them.

I was born & raised in Wisc., but have been living in California for the last 40+ years. Every January I order either one or two 5# bricks of the aged cheese. I share with other Wisconsin transplants and others out here, gotta educate the world about brick cheese. Thanks for the great show.

As someone who has grown up and lived in Wisconsin my whole life ❤️ Widmer's Brick! A favorite camping/road trip snack. But to see this on pizza takes it to a whole different level that I want to try sooner than later! Thanks Wisconsin Foodie for another great episode and season!
