Wisconsin
Supper Clubs is
a resource for and about supper clubs throughout Wisconsin that includes
beautiful photographs of the unique supper club interiors, proprietors, and
customers, as well as fascinating archival materials. Also recorded in this book
are the regional specialties served at these clubs, ranging from popovers and
fried pickles in the northern part of the state to Shrimp de Jonghe in the
south. One Northwoods supper club even features fry bread, a traditional Native
American dish uncommon to most any restaurant.
The "supper club experience" is a tradition embodied by many long-standing restaurants scattered throughout the small towns of Wisconsin. It is based around a bygone idea that going out to dinner is an experience that lasts an entire evening. The clubs emphasizing food made from scratch, slow-paced dining, and family-run businesses. Combine this with stately dark-panel decor, complimentary relish trays, and the best brandy Old Fashioned sweet you'll ever have, and you have barely scratched the surface of the Wisconsin supper club's appeal.
