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 […]

I had a chance to finally check out Bartolotta’s Northpoint Custard stand at Bradford Beach. Bartolotta’s have done an admirable job making the run-down snack booth into a true food destination. There is plenty of outdoor seating and even on the hot summer night I visited, I was able to park in the Bradford Beach parking lot […]
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 […]

The Journal just gave Generations at 5 Points 3 stars and the Black Trumpet (at the Clarke Hotel) 2.5 (food was 3 stars). Since the Journal hasn’t reviewed Taylor’s Peoples Park, I figured they should get their due. Taylor’s has […]
So my post on Five Guys has me thinking about Wisconsin’s great burgers. This is a topic that can be debated to no end. What’s better, a thicker pub burger like those served at Sobleman’s, The Little Musky Bar in Arbor Vitae, Fuzzy’s in Waukesha or The Wicked Hop or the thin, butter burger patty […]
“Best Burgers in the City” “Zagat Survey Rated” “Fries alone are not to be missed” These are just a sampling of the signs and plaques you will see when you walk into any Five Guys Burger chain. The praise is displayed in such a manner that it borders on obnoxious. With so many accolades I figured I was stepping […]
This article is the first in what I am calling “Wisconsin’s Great Burgers” where I blog about the burgers that people love in the state. If anyone has any “must try” burgers, please e-mail and I will check them out. While out on a motorcycle ride on Sunday I made a planned stop at Wedl’s […]
