Mars & Me & Marcol
A fun day at Mars Cheese Castle in Kenosha with the Marcol man and myself. Okay, so a lot of M word play going on here, but it opened itself up to it. Even more amazing was having our names up in lights on the Mars lighted freeway sign (see photos) overlooking the Interstate 94 corridor … Continue reading
Seroogy’s Cheeseheads Chocolate
When In De Pere, you gotta check out Seroogy’s Chocolates, since they’ve been in the Green Bay area since, well, even before the Green Bay Packers. Love this place, and the chocolates, and the people, and of course, hanging with Chester Marcol for the day. They also have tons of other great Wisconsin products, including … Continue reading
No JJ Watts, But Lots Of Comfort
We had scheduled a show the weekend of the Texans game at Lambeau Field, but despite JJ Watts not playing as he was out for the season on injured reserve (the biggest reason for that weekend), we went ahead and had lots of fun with Chester, the staff at Comfort Suites, and the great people … Continue reading
Ellsworth Cheese Curd Festival Fun
Ellsworth is, of course, the cheese curd capital of Wisconsin, and frankly, the world. I covered how cheese curds are made at their factory for the documentary, and decided I had to check out the Ellsworth Cheese Curd Festival to see just how much people love them. They do, even having them on their pizzas, … Continue reading
A Snow Covered Small Town
Almena is a small town that you’ll miss if you blink off Highway 8 in Barron County. One reason to keep your eyes open and pull over if traveling that way is the Almena Meat Company.

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 … 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
