Adventures In Wisco Land
While playing around with a new camera, I got some fantastically fun shots at my favorite hotel in Cheeseheadlandia, the Appleton Comfort Suites by Wisco Hotels. They’ve always been a terrific ally in my travels. Love this place as I’ve done so many fun shows in the Fox Valley, and have made many great friends … Continue reading
Northwoods Brewing Company (Eau Claire)
Had a chance to visit the Northwoods Brewing Company in Eau Claire, which is inside the Northwoods Brew Pub (Near Oakwood Mall). Great beer, great atmosphere, and if it had been summer, a grea view of the river. Love the decor of this place, real Northwoods (of course), almost like something out of Twin Peaks … Continue reading
Badger Bars & Tavern Tales, Fun For Everyone
I met Bill Moen, the author of these two humorous and fascinating Wisconsin Bar stories books, at the Valkyrie Brewery in Dallas (Dallas WISCONSIN, that is). For any lover of good humor, these books are great. If you love humor, beer, and Wisconsin history in all of its often odd realms, then these are a … Continue reading
Benvenuto’s At The Holiday Inn Fon Du Lac
Todd Winkler, CEO of the Wisco Hotel Group, discusses how they got involved with opening new Benvenuto’s Restaurants (a Wisconsin based chain of Italian restaurants) at their Madison Holiday Inn location, and now at the Fon Du Lac Holiday Inn location.

Champions Sports Bar: Where Memorabilia & Beer Come Together
Champions is a terrific sports bar to visit in Green Bay any time of the year, but it rocks on game day. The collection of sports memorabilia throughout the place seems endless, and it ain’t just Packers memorabilia, but Badgers, an extensive Favre collection, and other Wisconsin sports team. Even so, the Packers collection is … Continue reading
John Hawks Pub in Milwaukee
Whenever I’ve got to Downtown Milwaukee to meet with my man Carlo at Marcus Theatres, we step downstairs to the John Hawks Brew Pub from some great English fair (or fish fry on the one Friday I was there). Love this place. Great food, great view of the river, espeecially if you sit out on … Continue reading
Monk’s Bar & Grill At The Wilderness & Downtown
Wisconsin Dells has a ton of great eateries to choose from, but none with as good of a bacon cheeseburger as Monks. I ate at both locations when shooting in the Dells. Even had a few beers at the Wilderness Resort location while watching a wall of sports, since I was staying at the Wilderness … Continue reading
Bombers, Beers, Burgers & A Really Big Chair
Just happened across these photos again of Bomber’s in Milwaukee last fall, most well know for their Bomber’s Burger that was featured on the Food Wars last summer. I also wonder if the place might have been named after the Mitchell B-25 Bomber, since General Billy Mitchell was from Milwaukee and his presence is see … Continue reading
The Tipsy Cow In Madison’s Capital Square Is Divine
All we can say is, order the cheeseburger lunch special made with, get this, meat, bun, a slab of butter, and Carr Valley 5 Year Cheddar. That’s all! If you want onions raw or grilled, they’ll add that too, and the side of pickles is… Well just end up their and some point in your … Continue reading
The Bodega Brew Pub In La Crosse
While taking a day trip to La Crosse to check out what was there, we happened upon the Bodega Brew Pub in Historic Downtown. It’s easy to fall in love with La Crosse the minute you drive through it for its rustic “Industrial Wisconsin” flavor, the edge of the water vibe, and a downtown area … Continue reading
