Dane Baldwin
Dane Baldwin has spent his entire career cooking throughout Milwaukee. In August of 2017 Dane and his wife Anna opened The Diplomat where he is the Chef and Owner. Recognized as a slightly buttoned up neighborhood restaurant, The Diplomat brings elevated American Fare to its comfortably stylish Lower Eastside Establishment.
Opening The Diplomat allows Dane to continue to be a steward to the profession. In 2022 Baldwin won the prestigious James Beard Foundation ‘Best Chef Midwest’. Dane credits his successes with a strong work ethic that was developed while working with his grandparents in their flower shop growing up.
