The Best Beer Beef Stick Ever
While I’m feverishly editing my way towards the end of the documentary, I keep going through archives to find needed pictures, and every day I keep finding fun ones that had slipped my mind previously.

Random Wisconsin Cheese Things…
Rna across several photos of random Wisconsin Cheese Things that actually have on a smidgen to do with cheese and thought it would be fun to share.

Ella’s Deli & Ice Cream Parlor – Past, Present & Fantasy
I had the pleasure of dining with our dear friend Steve “The Owner” Tate at Ella’s Deli several months ago and it was quite the pleasing experience for a number of reasons, particular the great deli food and ice cream, but also the decor. So many things from the past and present on display, yet … Continue reading
Genuine Wisconsin Cheese Curds Imported For Rose Bowl
While imported may be the worst use of the word. since both Claifornia and Wisconin are part of the United States, it does imply that our Wisconsin cheese is so good that it feels as though it should be an import.

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

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
