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

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.
