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.

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

People Drive Out Of Their Way For The Fresh Meat At This Wisconsin Butcher Shop

A butcher shop that calls itself the maker of a famous five-foot summer sausage deserves your full attention. Five feet. That is taller than plenty of sixth graders. The sausage is only the opening act. This old-fashioned shop also stocks thirteen kinds of bacon and twelve flavors of snack sticks.

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.

5 Best Italian Restaurants in Appleton, Wisconsin that Will Make You Feel Like You’re in Rome

Appleton, Wisconsin — a city where the Fox River winds past red-brick mills and leafy neighborhoods, where the air is alive with the laughter of families, the hum of college students, and the scent of something simmering in a hundred kitchens. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: historic downtown storefronts, clapboard houses, and the ever-present spires of churches that gather the city’s many communities. Appleton is a place where newcomers and old-timers, artists and engineers, teachers and dreamers, all find their table — and where food is a bridge between generations, cultures, and friends.

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.
