i. Biography
Andrew Miller's work at Third Coast Provisions in Milwaukee is built around a direct seafood brief for the city. In a market that often points elsewhere, the restaurant stakes out seafood as the center of the plate, with Miller saying, “We feel that dining driven by seafood is an underserved experience in Milwaukee, especially in a creative, modern restaurant that can push limits and utilize pristine fish from the Great Lakes region and beyond.” The claim is plain: seafood is not an accent here, but the defining language of the room.
The Climb
Training at Johnson and Wales University gave Andrew Miller an early base in disciplined, technique-first work. From there, he moved through chef roles at HoM Woodfired Grill in Brookfield, Wisconsin and Zarletti's in Mequon, Wisconsin, kitchens that required consistency and control in equal measure. The progression shows a steady accretion of range: formal training, then repeated service under pressure, then a clearer command of pace and identity. Today, Andrew Miller is chef of Merriment Social and chef of Third Coast Provisions. The two posts speak to different registers, but the through line is precision. At Third Coast Provisions, seafood remains the brief, and the restaurant’s modern frame gives that brief room to carry weight. The emphasis on pristine fish from the Great Lakes region and beyond keeps the work tied to sourcing, seasonality, and a clear regional reference point.
Today
At Merriment Social and Third Coast Provisions in Milwaukee, Andrew Miller is working across two kitchens with different demands. The more explicit statement of purpose sits at Third Coast Provisions, where seafood is treated as the core of the menu rather than a supporting category. That distinction matters in trade terms: it sets a kitchen’s priorities, shapes the menu’s structure, and defines how the restaurant is read by peers and diners alike.
In Their Words “We feel that dining driven by seafood is an underserved experience in Milwaukee, especially in a creative, modern restaurant that can push limits and utilize pristine fish from the Great Lakes region and beyond.”
