I struggled to imagine how any city could surpass the Italian beef and deep-dish pizza I grew up with. Yet, throughout my time here, I kept hearing about some place called Kopp’s. Countless Milwaukee residents, from what I was told, considered it one of the best burger-and-custard spots in Milwaukee.
