Word of Mouth: January 30
What we're eating
Allison Geyer, staff writer:
OK, can we talk about late night food? This is a very important topic for me, a person who is incapable of eating "dinner" at a "normal" time. My current obsession is Mint Mark, the new cafe on Winnebago Street, which just started serving a ~truly dank~ fried chicken sandwich on Thursday nights for $7. But the best is and forever will be the late-night menu at Tornado Steakhouse. Because sometimes I just need to eat Coquilles St. Jacques at 12:45 am.

What we're playing
Tommy Washbush, staff artist:
I just recently played 2017's Thimbleweed Park, and despite having sort of a nothingburger of an ending, I can't recommend it enough to fans of old-school adventure games. The story centers around two federal agents who show up in a small town to investigate a murder, and the playable cast expands to five switchable characters, including a ghost and a particularly vulgar clown. The plot quickly goes off the rails, but the voice acting is great, and the game is packed with nerdy humor and easter eggs.

Perfect day
Faustina Bohling, diversity and inclusion specialist, American Family:
I just had a perfect day, as a matter of fact — enjoying coffee while catching up with Hedi Rudd, the “manager of first impressions” at Badger Rock Neighborhood Center. The birds were singing, the sun was shining, I was able to see and feel the visions of spring as I surveyed the greenhouses and listened to the sounds of youth. She shared the scope of the work done at the Badger Rock School and Center. Refreshing to hear about the coming together happening in the community as opposed to the pulling apart, for a change. An unexpected perspective, so I’m happy I stopped by!
