Drive-Thru Beef Dinner

×

Expand

You might be from the east side of Madison if...you remember the two pillars of summer as the East Side Business Men's Association festival at Voit Field and the St. Dennis Festival at, of course, St. Dennis on Dempsey Road. St. Dennis has been thriving even though the ESBMA festival is long gone (and its building now known more gender-neutrally as the East Side Club). This year, the parish is making its famous beef dinner — always a hot ticket — a drive-through, with pickup at the church (delivery is also available for people who can’t get out). Pre-ordering here by July 22 is an excellent idea, but you can drive up day of fest as well. Menu options include the legendary beef dinner ($10) with roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, coleslaw and dessert. There's also Italian sausage ($4) and Sinsinawa Mound Cinnamon Bread ($7; you are Catholic and from south central Wisconsin if this makes your heart beat faster). You can even order a drink or two, like One Barrel Brewing Company's Commuter Kolsch or O’so Brewing Company Hop Snack Pale Ale. We guarantee it will be cooler drinking it at your house than it would have been in the beer tent.

press release: In lieu of our annual weekend-long St. Dennis Parish festival, we are hosting a beef dinner drive-thru on Sunday, July 26. Since the festival is our largest fundraiser of the year, we really need the community support during this time!
