From a Chicago perspective, Milwaukee is known for beer. Most of the traditional Chicago beers are from Milwaukee originally—Old Style, Old Milwaukee, PBR. It’s a holdover from prohibition where Wisconsin permitted low alcohol beer, while Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan did not. (The constitution did not define how much alcohol was permissible and so the states made their own interpretations.)
In any event, I love Milwaukee too, and not for the beer.

The Pita Palace is one of my son’s favorite places. Many an order of chicken schawarma over the years. Glad you enjoyed it!
