Some Fun Shots Of Sheboygan

Who knew Old Wisconsin, Piggly Wiggly, Sargento, Kohler, & about a zillion other great companies are headquartered in Sheyboygan.  Well anyone who lives there, I suppose, but there’s a lot of great manufacturing out of the sleepy coastal town (a couple of examples below).  We also had the great pleasure of interviewing the troup putting … Continue reading

The World Loves Wisconsin Ginseng – via Wisconsinology

Here’s a neat little article about how Wisconsin is the largest grower of Ginseng in the United States, and heralded as the best in China and other countries who prize it for its quality.  My brother goes to China all the time on business and can attest to this first hand, as he gets asked … Continue reading

City Brewery – The Private Label King Of La Crosse

La Crosse is home to City Brewery, which is home to the worlds largest six pack (see photos), a line mentioned in an episode of “House” during it’s last season (any mention of Wisconsin on TV catches my attention).  Interesting thing about City Brewery is that they make a boat load of private label beers … Continue reading

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 … Continue reading

An Upside Down White House In Wisconsin Dells

The upside down alien attacked White House in Wisconsin Dells looks even more creepy when you shoot it at night when no one is around (see video).  It’s like it really happened, and with Halloween upon us, it has all the luster of a haunted house.  Creepy and cool all the same. * * * … Continue reading

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 … Continue reading
