Colby From Colby Is The Best Colby
It was a dreary day when I went to Colby, but it is the birthplace of Colby cheese, so it deserves some props. Colby is always best when it is Longhorn style (in my opinion). The town, a quant little village in the middle of the state, was cozy and pleasant, with reminders here and … Read more
We Love Wisconsin Cheese
There are so many wonderful cheese products to choose from in Wisconsin, so to vote on which one you love most is like picking your favorite child, but we get that it’s all in fun, so go vote and have fun with yet another great Cheesehead tradition. We love our frineds at Wisconsin Cheese and … Read more
Wisconsin Cheese Curds In California
Seems as though my old stomping grounds in Orange County (California) is rife with good taste. I found these Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery cheese curds from Wisconsin in a Sprouts chain (sort of a Whole Foods, but nowhere near the price gouger) of gorcery and health food stores. They also had Henning’s chipotle cheddar there (Henning’s … Read more
If Frank Lloyd Wright Had Designed A Cheese Haus…
If Frank Lloyd Wright had designed a Cheese Haus it would have been Foster Cheese Haus in Osseo (just south of Eau Claire off of I94). They have some amazing cool Wisconsin Cheese as well, including bacon infused cheese curds like I’ve not seen anywhere else. Not only do they have great Wisconsin Cheese, but … Read more
Usinger’s In Orange County California
While traveling down to The O.C. (Orange County, California, where I used to live, and one of the few places that has a Wisconsin Vibe in CA), I stopped by the market I used to shop at all the time and discovered that they now carry Usinger’s sausages and meat products. I took these photos … Read more
Wisconsin Cheese Mart In Milwaukee
Wisconsin Cheese Mart in Milwaukee (just down the street from Usingers) is the kind of cheese shop that John Cleese would be more than welcomed to visit since they have nearly every kind of cheese he could possibly list off. Not only that, most of the cheeses here are many of the Wisconsin originals made … Read more
Chateau St. Croix & The Cheesehead White Wine
In honor of the New Year we thought it only fitting to talk about one of Wisconsin’s lesser known attractions, its wineries. Just like the breweries all over the state, micro-wineries have become quite popular and prosperous for embracing the cheesehead culture as part of what they are all about. We had the pleasure of … Read more
Old Fashioned: The Story Of The Wisconsin Supper Club
We recently made friends with fellow filmmaker Holly De Ruyter who is doing a remarkable project about WisconsinSupper Clubs so we thought it only fitting to share her work since it is a topic that fits right in with what we are doing. While we too asked around about Supper Clubs while filming in Wisconsin, … Read more
Fromagination: Where Imagination And Cheese Are Best Friends
When we visited Fromagination, a specialty cheese shop on Capital Square in Madison, to interview owner Ken Montelone for the documentary, we had no idea that we were in for one of the most unique cheese shops in the entire state of Wisconsin. Located just across the street from the Capital building, it serves host … Read more
Nueske’s Meats Are As Unique As Their Name
Our first taste of Nueske’s bacon was purely by accident and in California at that. A friend brought some over and it was so good that someone blurted out half joking, half not that “this must be from Wisconsin”. The back of the package revealed that it was true, a little town in the center … Read more
The Safe House In Milwaukee, Where Getting Out Is A Maze…
As mentioned yesterday, The Safe House in Milwaukee is a great place to go for lunch or dinner. We forgot to mention that the food is just as good as the ambiance and fun of being in a spy themed place. When you do finally get a chance to go there, make sure you ask … Read more
Milwaukee’s Safe House Is A Place Worth Finding, If You Can…
We visited the Safe House in Downtown Milwaukee a short while back and found it to be one of the most fascinating restaurants in the entire state of Wisconsin. It’s a mystery and spy themed place that has so much going on inside (and underneath) that it’s hard to get to all of it in … Read more
Louie’s Finer Meats In Cumberland: A Meat Lover’s Heaven
Louie’s Finer Meats in Cumberland is one of those places where you have to know or be told about it in order to find it, but once you are aware of it, you become a lover, and addict, and a big fan of their fantastic selection of meat products. They make everything at that location … Read more
Henning’s Cheese: Peppercorn Cheddar To Die For!
When we were at Super Bowl XLV in Texas we were able to interview Sarah “The Cheese Lady” Kaufmann at Central Market in Fort Worth while she carved all sorts of cheese sculptures into some of Henning’s finest cheeses on display there. While in Wisconsin these past few months we followed up with Kerry Henning … Read more
