Customer Reviews

Midwest recipes at their finest.

I really enjoyed this book. The "down home" descriptions of the people involved and the recipes really do work.

Cafe Wisconsin

I'm a foodie and a motorcyclist. I do a lot of road trips in the badger state during the summer months. This book takes the guess work out of wondering where to eat really good food at homestyle cafes and diners. The book is divided in regions and easy to read. The descriptions of the cafes are more than adequate and really interesting. A good book to carry in the car or in the saddlebag
