When Ashley Turner accepted the offer to reimagine the menu at Hacienda Taproom & Kitchen, she brought a wealth of experience to the proverbial table. But she also brought a deep cultural knowledge of Texas BBQ and Southwestern fare.
This week, we sat down with the native Texan to chat about her experience growing up in a Southern restaurant family, the “secrets” behind great Texas BBQ and the culinary journey that brought her to Wisconsin. Along the way, we chat about her passion for food, her experience developing award-winning Sporkies for the Wisconsin State Fair and the unique qualifications that made her the perfect candidate to lead the charge at the new Hacienda Taproom & Kitchen.
