The supper club is a tradition and now somewhat of a phenomenon found in the Upper Midwestern states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa. They are so retro that they are coming back in to vogue. Travel through the Badger State and discover what made these supper clubs and the iconic fare stand the test of time. With more than 60 recipes from 40 supper clubs, Wisconsin Supper Club Cookbook will uncover the secrets to the food and the drinks that keep people coming back to these landmark eateries any time of the day.
While supper clubs are little-known in much of the country, they thrive in the upper Midwest, a fact proven in Mary Bergin's Wisconsin Supper Club Cookbook. Here are recipes for hearty food and stout drinks along with vivid descriptions of the supper-club dining experience, including Friday fish fries and Saturday prime rib as well as old-fashioned cocktails and after-dinner ice-cream libations. For those of us who prize culinary tradition, the charm of this book goes beyond enticing recipes. Mary Bergin has created a glorious tribute to a uniquely American way of going out to eat.
