Rob's Family Market in Manitowoc closing after 22-plus years

MANITOWOC – A longtime lakeshore grocery store is closing its doors for good. “After 22-plus years, we have decided to close our business,” said Rob and Mindi Hollen, who own Rob’s Family Market , on the store’s website. “First, thank you to all our employees who have worked with us over the years. Also, thank you to our family who have supported us in so many ways. And lastly, thanks to our customers and community for supporting us over the last two decades.” October's top headlines: When will Five Below open in Manitowoc? And more October news “This was not an easy decision. We have met a lot of great people along the way, weathered a lot of ups and downs, but now it’s time for us to start a new chapter. Please know how grateful we are to this community for sticking with us for so many years. We will never forget all the great people we’ve met through this journey.” The store, 2330 Menasha Ave., will close around the end of the month.

The Old-School Wisconsin Meat Market That Locals Prefer To Keep To Themselves

Every sausage link here gets hand-twisted seven times. That’s not a typo, and it’s not a machine doing the work either. The brats come in more than 40 varieties, including Bacon Cheeseburger and Hawaiian. Two brick smokehouses fire up with real hardwood sawdust every weekday. Those same smokers...

Walking Into Wolf’s Den In Sheboygan Feels Like Wisconsin Before Chain Restaurants Took Over

Recipe is a secret, but word is out on De Pere church's famous fruitcakes

The Rev. Dr. Luke Farwell likes to tell a little joke about the Four Wise Men ... They all brought gifts, but it was the fourth one who brought a fruitcake, and he’s not included in the story anymore. The pastor at First United Presbyterian Church i n De Pere can get away with poking a bit of fun at the holiday treat’s reputation, because it just so happens the Men’s Club at the church makes one of the best fruitcakes in all of northeastern Wisconsin. The smell alone from the kitchen will tell you so. On the morning after the Milwaukee Brewers won their first World Series, volunteers were already busy baking – a tradition in its 69th year at the church. Each October, on a carefully choreographed calendar of mixing, baking and wrapping sessions, the Men’s Club turns out more than 800 eagerly awaited loaves that are sold to the community as a fundraiser. They’re not so much whipped up as they are lovingly crafted. It’s all the time and attention, roughly 12 hours of labor for each batch of 60 fruitcakes made during a single session, that is the secret ingredient. “They need love. People need to

After Trying Fish Boils Across Door County, This Ephraim Restaurant Stuck With Us

8 Wisconsin Seafood Spots We Ranked, From Lake Michigan Whitefish To Crispy Shrimp Baskets

In one corner of Wisconsin, dinner can mean watching whitefish, potatoes, and onions cook together in a huge kettle outdoors. I love that a meal can double as a show. That old fish boil tradition still pulls people to the shore. Meanwhile, a different crowd is digging into Cajun shrimp, lobster rolls, and oysters flown in from both coasts. One spot even hands out ceviche before you order a thing.

Mursaus bring hometown grocery model to Peshtigo

PESHTIGO — A new Piggly Wiggly in Peshtigo is bringing fresh food, new jobs and a familiar small-town approach to the former Lofaro’s Fresh Market space. For owners Chad and Tiffany Mursau, the expansion builds on nearly five years of operating their Coleman store. They saw promise in Peshtigo and an opportunity to serve a community that was losing its previous grocery operator. “We just saw potential here with all the support,” Chad Mursau said. The couple’s approach he added is to be community driven. The opening comes after a change in the store’s supply arrangements. Mursau said C&S had bought SpartanNash, which supplied Lofaro’s and the previous owner was no longer interested in operating in Peshtigo. The Mursaus saw a chance to take over the location and bring their grocery business to town. They want the store to feel welcoming as well as useful. Asked how he would describe their hometown grocery model, Chad Mursau emphasized “just friendly service,” while Tiffany Mursau echoed the importance of being community driven. Renovations have given the store what Mursau called “a fresh, clean look,” along with a new salad bar and wing bar. The store also offers produce, bakery, deli, meat, dairy,

These Crab Cakes Are Giving Wisconsin Seafood Lovers A Reason To Return

Crab cakes sit on the same appetizer list as homemade sauerkraut balls and a Bavarian Scotch egg. That lineup alone tells you this kitchen enjoys a little friendly chaos. The building dates back to 1948, and one family kept the lights on starting in 1967. I love it when a place carries that much history without acting stuffy about it.
