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

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,

New metal arts gallery opens in downtown Green Bay | Streetwise

A local scrap metal artist opened a new downtown Green Bay art gallery and workshop to showcase his work and the work of other Wisconsin-based metal artists. Shane Keith on Nov. 1 held a soft opening at The Finer Side of Scrap , 226 N. Adams St., and plans to host a formal grand opening with community leaders in early December. The gallery will feature works of metal art made by seven different artists, including Keith, that offer a variety of styles. You might recognize Keith as a regular vendor at local events like ArtFest and farmers markets where he sells under the name S.K. Scrap Art . He transforms scrap metal, bolts, screws, silverware and other found metal into figurative sculptures of guitar players, flowers, bolt figures offering up a flower and birds. "I try to use random, everyday stuff people may have at their homes," Keith said. "Or old hand tools and materials that trigger some nostalgia." Keith first got interested in metal art as a kid when he visited Dr. Evermor's Sculpture Park in Sauk County on a school field trip. It was a hobby of his for many years, but about three years ago he decided

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.
