Live Music on the Patio at Kip's

Summer is finally here! (Over the years, I have learned to save the declaration until June...) It is finally June; the sun is warm again, and the evenings are perfect for sitting on Kip's patio and sipping a pint! Starting this Friday at 8pm, Crowley & Hartman will begin their patio series. So, stop down to Kip’s on Friday, bring your wooden nickel, and enjoy the sounds of summer and Crowley & Hartman. Cheers,

Passionate About Your Meal

Before you go to Luci Ancora, you have to ask yourself a question. Do I want to experience a meal like an Italian family? Because that’s what they offer at Luci Ancora. Don’t come here expecting to eat and rush off to somewhere else. The dinner won’t be a part of the evening. At Luci Ancora, dinner will be your evening. You’ll be eating the same way the owners eat at home. And that’s an experience worth treasuring.
Maria Gans, owner and general manager of Luci Ancora, told me about the yearly vacations her family took to Italy. This was part of their motivation to become restaurateurs. The other was to expose customers to the joy of sharing a long, leisurely meal with courses and paired wines. When you eat here, you’ll feel like family.

Hell's Kitchen is in the Wall Street Journal

What a wonderful acknowledgment of how special our restaurant Hell’s Kitchen is. The Wall Street Journal’s Jeffery A. Trachtenberg interviewed Jane and Michael Stern about their new book, “500 Things To Eat Before It’s Too Late.”
Jane and Michael Stern have written about America’s eateries for over 30 years and are well known for their books in particular for "Roadfood." With over 40 books to their credit they are indeed experts on [“what were the "must eats" if readers were going to New Mexico or southern California. What is the most important thing to eat in that location?”]
This then brings us to Hell’s Kitchen and since I don’t want to spoil the story for anyone you will just have to go and enjoy it there on the Wall Street Journal’s website.

Return of the American Roadhouse

The roadhouse has returned. Or rather, a roadhouse that was built in the Thirties is still thriving in Minnesota. The place is called Bungalow Inn and it’s just off of I-94, just before you get to Wisconsin. A place like this should require a bit of travel to get to. It’ll put you in the proper mood.
As one would expect, the place has pull tabs, and a game room, a CD Wurlitzer, online trivia, a big screen TV, a serve yourself popcorn machine and of all things, a pay phone. However, as with any popular roadhouse, it’s also a nice supper club. That old fashioned, small town style of supper club. Like the ones you still find in almost any small town in Wisconsin or Minnesota. The place where every-body goes.
So let’s talk food. American, but with some delightful twists. Steak, pasta and seafood are their mainstays. While I was there, I tried the Butterflied Perch Basket. Too many times, when I’ve ordered a small fish fillet, it arrived dried out or a little tough around the edges. This was the moistest piece of perch I’ve ever eaten.
I also had the Vegetable Chili which had a nice kick to it...

Bar, Restaurant…Community Center?

Talk about a restaurant with an identity crisis. When I walked into the place I thought, okay, it’s a bar. Big Buck Safari game and Silver Strike Bowlers game, pull tabs, log cabin interior and lots of construction workers nursing a beer for lunch. But there are a lot of tables and a family-friendly menu and even a kid’s menu. Okay, it’s a restaurant. Then I sat down with the manager, Travis Piosky, and by the time we finished talking, I realized what this place is…a community center!
Ole Piper Inn has been in his family for three generations. But that’s really not what Travis wanted to talk about. What excites him is how their business has become an integral part of the communities around them . . .
