When visiting New Glarus Brewery a while back (photos of the brewery coming soon), it was evident thay they love their steers, likely because of the Swiss heritage the town relishes, being known as Little Switzerland.  Further, our Minong friend Jack Link’s Beef Jerky also has a factory in New Glarus.  Whatever their reasons for … Read more

Louie’s Finer Meats in Cumberland is one of those places where you have to know or be told about it in order to find it, but once you are aware of it, you become a lover, and addict, and a big fan of their fantastic selection of meat products.  They make everything at that location … Read more

Our first taste of Nueske’s bacon was purely by accident and in California at that.  A friend brought some over and it was so good that someone blurted out half joking, half not that “this must be from Wisconsin”.  The back of the package revealed that it was true, a little town in the center … Read more

While traveling down to The O.C.

Who knew Old Wisconsin, Piggly Wiggly, Sargento, Kohler, & about a zillion other great companies are headquartered in Sheyboygan.  Well anyone who lives there, I suppose, but there’s a lot of great manufacturing out of the sleepy coastal town (a couple of examples below).  We also had the great pleasure of interviewing the troup putting … Read more

Kenosha has more than its share of cheese shops, and while the more well known is the Mar’s Cheese Castle, a lesser known but just as unique cheese shop is right up the street, the Bobby Nelson Cheese Shop.  What’s coolest about his place, besides the awesome meats and cheeses, are the paintings the run … Read more

Reblogged from FOX6Now.com: MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- When the Green Bay Packers go to the playoffs, the players win, the fans win, and certain businesses definitely win.

While I’m feverishly editing my way towards the end of the documentary, I keep going through archives to find needed pictures, and every day I keep finding fun ones that had slipped my mind previously.  Here’s a great place in Racine, kind of hidden if you’re not looking for it, called Brossman’s Meats and they … Read more

Almena is a small town that you’ll miss if you blink off Highway 8 in Barron County.  One reason to keep your eyes open and pull over if traveling that way is the Almena Meat Company.  Try the double smoked beef snack sticks and, if you love smoked sausages, you’ll love these even more.  I … Read more

Things went quite well for our return to Cameron “Hometown” showing of the film.  My best count was about 140 plus in attendance.  Not bad for a small town in the Northwoods.  People really enjoyed the film while snacking on Ellsworth cheese curds, Nuseke’s amazing bacon, Cheese Brothers cheese, and more.   We’d also like … Continue reading →

Fun with Chester is redundant, as he’s always a blast to hang out with.  And we did just that at the Appleton Post Crescent screening of the doc on the UW Fox Valley campus in Menasha.  Just down the hall is a really cool planetarium.  Really good turnout too, about 80 people in attendance.  What … Continue reading →
