Aanii Boozhoo,

Miijim is moving.

After two very quick seasons on Mooningwanekaaning, we’ve made the hard decision to move. It doesn’t come lightly, as the island and the bay are my home, the place my ancestors have called home for a millenia, where Miijim was born, and where so many of you joined us around the table to experience something we truly believed in.

But we must look forward. It’s clear that in order for Miijim to grow into what it was dreamt to be, we must move to a space with year-round access, a more accessible community, and the infrastructure that allows us to thrive and not merely survive.

We are not shutting down.

We are taking time to find the right space to build Miijim’s next chapter, a place where we can keep cooking with our souls, feed our friends and family, and highlight the incredible beauty and versatility of Ojibwe food.

In the meantime, we will be doing a number of pop-up events, special dinners, and restaurant takeovers that will be announced as they are finalized.

Gichimiigwechin to everyone who has supported us. You’ve fed the fire of sovereignty and we know that in this next phase, we will burn bright enough for the world to see.

More to come.

-Chef Bryce

I have a hard time remembering to take pictures while I’m cooking. In the moment, the food and the people around me demand every bit of focus I can give, so I usually rely on others to capture those glamour shots. But I managed to snap this one, and it sums up exactly what I was lucky enough to experience—a table full of food, surrounded by incredibly talented and passionate people, all giving and learning as much as they can.

I want to thank for welcoming me back into their kitchen after seven years and giving me the space to express my passion. Walking in on that first prep day felt… strange. Seven years, a new space, and almost an entirely new team—I had no idea what to expect. But as I scrambled to organize my plan, I stepped into the walk-in, and the scent memory hit me so hard I froze. In an instant, I was back in every crazy night of learning, earning (and sometimes burning) my way to becoming a chef. and (and too, I guess 🙄) have built something that goes beyond a single space or moment in time. They are the roots of a family with more branches than I could ever count, shaping some of the finest and most talented chefs in Milwaukee. I’m lucky to consider myself part of that.

Bringing Miijim to Milwaukee, cooking alongside incredible people, and seeing so many happy faces in the dining room—all for the sake of sharing what I know—was humbling and honoring. I can’t thank you all enough for the opportunity, and I hope to be back again, soon.

Happy Native American Heritage Month! With the whirlwind of the season wrapping up so quickly, we want to send a heartfelt gichimiigwech to everyone who visited and supported us during an incredible second season.

As we enter the off-season, we encourage you to support Indigenous non-profits and organizations across Turtle Island—and especially those close to home. Also, remember to get out and vote with your Indigenous friends, family, and community in mind.

Keep an eye out for announcements on Miijim pop-ups and special events this winter!
