Our guest for Cooking with Milwaukee Community Leaders is Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson. Mayor Johnson took office as Acting Mayor of the City of Milwaukee in late 2021 and set out immediately to build a safer city. He has prioritized violence reduction, economic development, and roadway safety. Before taking on his role as Acting Mayor, Johnson served as Common Council President while representing the city’s 2nd Aldermanic District.
In April of 2022, Mayor Johnson was elected as the forty-fifth chief executive of the City of Milwaukee, winning with more than seventy percent of the vote. He is the first Black Mayor elected in the city and only the fourth elected mayor in the past sixty-two years.
The Mayor shows us how he makes Copycat McDonald's Breakfast Sandwiches. The special guest taste tester is the Mayor's son, Oliver

Our guest for Cooking with Milwaukee Community Leaders is Art Serna, CEO of City on a Hill, a non-profit organization here in Milwaukee. A City on a Hill is a place where there is belief in the power of community to transform cities and families. Art shows us how he makes Chicken tostadas.
Chicken tostadas are a perfect quick and easy weeknight meal. Layers of refried beans, shredded chicken, and fresh toppings taste delicious on a crispy corn tortilla.
