Buck & Badger hops on the Wisconsin cuisine bandwagon
Some time in the last decade, the favorite foods of Wisconsin developed a kind of idealized sheen. No, that's not just the laminated menu. Certain restaurants took the familiar foods of the state's taverns and supper clubs and started treating them very well, sourcing sausages and meats and cheeses from top purveyors, upgrading the fish in the Friday fry, pairing the food with the best in the state's craft beers.
