Last December, my friend Nick from DudeFoods.com recommended me to Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board to contribute to the 30 Days 30 Ways With Mac and Cheese project. Since he had one of the most creative dishes from last year’s event with his Bacon crust mac and cheese pie he must have some clout since they […]
Better Eating Through Chemistry – I take the Wisconsin favorite, Beer Cheese Soup, and add agar powder to make it into a “cheese,” which is then used to make a Beer Cheese Grilled Cheese.
Everyone knows about Chicagoland’s high end food destinations; the inventive food of Alinea, the refined elegance of Charlie Trotter’s, the upscale Mexican at Frontera Grill and Topolobampo, and the playful cuisine at Graham Elliot. Chicago is also fmous for casual, inexpensive eats such as the Chicago Style Dog, Italian Beef, and the Deep Dish Pizza. On a […]
Last year I raved about a new pizza place in Door County called Wild Tomato. At the time I said it instantly became a must visit restaurant for future trips to the area. We were back in Door County in October and of course decided to return to Wild Tomato in Fish Creek for dinner. […]
The Wisconsin Dells may be the Water Park Capital of the world but its never been known as a food mecca. For the most part visitors to the Dells are perfectly content eating uninspired, bland, and unhealthy fare in mass quantities at gimmicky restaurants or chains. However if you do a little homework there are some gems […]
At the end of 2009 I was sick of burgers. Apparently the new year cured that. Here are some thoughts about some of the places I have been over the past couple of months. AJ Bombers – I raved about them here and said they dethroned Sobleman’s (even though I love the Sobleman burger) as the best burgers in […]
I was recently in Madison for a few days and had a chance to check out some new places as well as some old favorites…. The Coopers Tavern located at 20 W. Mifflin Street on the Capitol Square is a new restaurant and bar owned by the Food Fight restaurant group. The wine and beer lists […]
Last year I blogged about an awesome meal at Graham Elliot and a perfect cheeseburger at the loser-laden Rockit from a recent trip to Chicago. I also had written up some blurbs about other places I checked out. Here they are: Heaven on Seven Located on the 7th floor of an older office building at 111 North […]
Photo from AJBombers.com When I think of businesses that have used social media to successfully pump up their business, three Milwaukee businesses come to mind; Streetza Pizza, a travelling pizza truck who announces its location via Twitter, Blatz Liquor, who tweets special events and tastings as well as 140 word posts about interesting customer purchases, […]
Visitors to Door County who have been enjoying Digger’s pizza in Fish Creek for almost 30 years were probably shocked this year when the Digger’s sign came down and the Wild Tomato sign went up. People don’t like it when their vacation dining destinations are gone. I still reminisce about childhood dinners eating Fried Walleye […]
