Saz's Around Town
Saz’s Catering Wins Over Adversity -
Many of you by now have heard or read that we had a fire at Saz’s Catering. This is correct.
That being said, our Catering business is still in full production servicing all of our clients. We are “business as usual” with events now on the books and are taking on new events each day. Food production is shared with the cooking facilities at the State House Restaurant and at a nearby, off-site food production facility.
We won’t be missing a beat while our catering facility is being cleaned and repaired. It takes a bit more than a fire to keep Saz’s Catering down. (Albeit doing a dance or two)
Cause of the fire is being confirmed, but appears electrical in nature. Fortunately, the damage has been confined to a non-production area of the building. This does not interfere with the restaurant, as that is a separate building and operation all together.
We want to thank the Saz’s customer, whomever you are, for spotting the sparks coming from the power terminal on the catering building, and informing our staff at the restaurant. We would be telling a different story if the fire had progressed for a few more minutes.
A heartfelt "Thank You" goes out to all of our friends, vendors and customers who continue to offer help and concern for our loss.
'Mon Ami' - Wendell Thomas Gives Saz's Burger Price a Pass!
Not one to "Mess with the High Life", Saz got the OK from the Miler Brewing Company Spokesman, Wendell Thomas. Our burgers are priced right "ya'll are NOT crazy" and won't be cleaning out our stock of Miller High Life.
Wendell gave a "big" cheer for the Packers and posed next to the world's largest Favre Bobblehead.
Wendell took a pause with one of our kitchen chefs, Elton. "Pardon Moi" but he is a big fella next to our skinny chef.
Thomas joined Saz's for lunch and paused to take a few photos with us. Thomas seemed like just one of the boys from 'Miller Brands' and wore the same uniform as the Miiller delivery guys.

New this year - try our Saz's Southwest Rolls. Stuffed with PepperJack Cheese, Beans, Cilantro, Jelapeno and a taste of Leinenkugel beer - sure to be a hit.
Here's a bit of trivia for ya - If you were to take all the Saz's Mozzarella sticks made at Summerfest over the years, and line them up end to end, they would reach from the Earth to the Moon. Now that's a lot of Mozzarella Marinara!

Saz’s participates as a sponsor in the Wave Reality All-Stars Weekend
March 17-19, 2006
Reality television fans, it’s time to gear up for the Milwaukee Wave Reality All-Stars Weekend, scheduled for March 17-19. The three-day event will feature castaways from reality television participating in a fundraising dinner reception and celebrity soccer game. Zohn’s appearances for the weekend will support Grassroot Soccer (http://www.grassrootsoccer.org), a global AIDS prevention organization, which teams up soccer stars to deliver prevention messages to children in the world’s most HIV affected countries.
On Saturday evening, Miller Brewing Company will host a dinner reception and silent auction featuring Zohn, Morasca and a number of other castaways. The event will be catered by Saz’s and held in the corporate pub from 7-10 p.m.. There will also be a special VIP Meet and Greet from 6 – 7 p.m. with hand passed hor d’oeuvres in the caves. In addition to Zohn and Morasca, castaways scheduled to appear are: Tom “Big Tom” Buchanan, Chad Crittenden, Chris Daugherty, Rudy Boesch, Bobby Jon Drinkard, Ian Rosenberger, Leann Slaby, Lex van den Berghe, Julie Barry, Jennifer Lyon and Tina Wesson. Tickets for the event are $50 (standard) and $100 (VIP); call the Wave office (414-224-9283) for tickets and more information. All of the funds raised from this event will go directly to Grassroot Soccer.
Miller Brewing Company is a sponsor of the Milwaukee Wave and an active supporter of efforts to prevent and treat AIDS. The company is hosting and supporting the event as part of its corporate social investment platform, Miller REACH™, which focuses on five primary causes: Responsibility, Employment, AIDS/HIV, Cultural Diversity and Heritage Initiatives.
The weekend continues with another full day of activities on Sunday. Zohn will drop in at Saz’s for brunch from 11 a.m. - 12 :30 p.m. to celebrate the restaurant’s 30th anniversary. From there, he will take in the Milwaukee Wave’s contest against the Philadelphia KiXX (kickoff at 1:05 p.m.) before taking the field in an exciting post-game match featuring Reality All-Stars and Wave Legends. In addition to the castaways mentioned above, Wave Legends Art Kramer, Steve Morris and current Wave Head Coach Keith Tozer are scheduled to participate along with current U.S. National Team member and Menomonee Falls native, Leslie Osborne.
“As both Miller Brewing Company and the Milwaukee Wave have, for many years, been great clients and customers at both Saz’s Catering and Saz’s State House Restaurant, it was a natural fit for us to become involved with them in such a great, charitable venture,” Jim Kasper, Sales and Marketing Director, Saz’s Catering, said. “As Saz’s is now celebrating our 30th Anniversary serving the Milwaukee community, the Grassroots Soccer Reality All Stars Festival, became an ideal opportunity for us to offer our talents and give back to a great cause.”
“CBS 58 is pleased to be a presenting sponsor of the Reality All-Stars weekend,” Jim Hall, CBS 58 General Manager, said. “CBS is home to Survivor so it is only fitting for us to be involved as Milwaukee plays host to thirteen former castaways. But our reason for involvement goes beyond that. We feel strongly about Ethan Zohn’s Grassroot Soccer and what the organization is doing in the fight against AIDS.”
Admission to the Reality All-Stars/Wave Legends game is free with ticket purchases to the Milwaukee Wave vs. Philadelphia KiXX game. “The Wave has pledged a portion of the ticket sales from Sunday’s game to Grassroot Soccer,” Milwaukee Wave COO, Mike Lafferty said. “Another full house is expected as a result of the Reality All-Stars game combined with the Keith Tozer bobble-head and halftime ceremonies honoring Tozer for his 600th win.”
“I’m excited about the way the Milwaukee community has embraced the efforts of Grassroot Soccer,” Zohn said. “I am also impressed by the outpouring of support from the local businesses that have generously sponsored the weekend’s events, allowing us to raise funds for such a good cause.”
Tickets to the Wave’s Friday night game against the Chicago Storm and Sunday’s Wave vs. Philadelphia KiXX and Reality All-Stars games can be purchased by calling the Milwaukee Wave ticket office (414-224-9283), or stopping by Saz’s State House Restaurant (5539 W. State St.) or the Miller Visitors Center (4251 W. State St.).
