MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Milwaukee Auto Show, being housed at the Baird Center, is offering car fans an opportunity to connect with automotive culture from multiple angles. From seeing the latest electric wonders from popular manufacturers, to prototypes, to simulators and more.

Our own Jessob Reisbeck is showcasing the Milwaukee Auto Show during the CBS 58 news this week as part of the latest 58 Hometowns series. Tune in all week to see Jessob's reports.

We kicked off the car craze by speaking to Eric Brandt, review editor for Auto Trader, who joined us live on Tuesday, Feb. 27 for some insight about the Milwaukee Auto Show.

To stay on theme with hitting the road and revving engines, Michael Schlesinger is showcasing MOTOR Bar & Restaurant, located on the campus of the Harley-Davidson Museum.

MOTOR has been around for years, but Chef Doug Stringer is a new addition to the menu, so to speak. He's only been on site for six months, but he has a vision. He's even starting to make changes, including small bites and brunch items.

There are daily specials every day, including an all you can eat fish fry on Fridays. There's also barbecue on Saturdays. Two smokers make this happen.

The restaurant is also part of "Taste and Toast" happening the last week of February. The patio is open during the warm months and is worth checking out. Learn more by visiting MOTOR Bar & Restaurant online.
