8 Wisconsin Butcher Shops That Make Quality Meat Easier On Your Budget

One Wisconsin meat counter sits right on a university campus, and the cuts come from a meat science program where students help with the work. I love that detail. Your steak might have a little homework behind it. That shop opened in 2020, and it runs on weekday hours only....

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.

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...

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.

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,
