One of Milwaukee’s largest and oldest sausage companies, Klement’s is often my ‘go-to’ purveyor when I’m looking for processed meats. When I’m not in their distribution area, I even order care packages online. The company has a wide variety of fresh and cooked sausages, as well as deli and sandwich meats. I am fond… Continue reading Klements Polish Sausage Review

Advance Pierre Pretzel Cheeseburger Review
Every time I think I have covered every single availability in the ‘heat and eat’ burger category, I run across a new one. This week it’s the “Pretzel Cheeseburger” from Advance Pierre, arguably the largest manufacturer of heat and eat burgers, and I’ve tried a gaggle of them. While the Ohio company puts out a… Continue reading Advance Pierre Pretzel Cheeseburger Review
Great Wolf Lodge Review
So some folks decided it would be a good idea to build massive hotels, centered around indoor water and amusement parks, with a couple of adult perks (bar, spa) thrown in for good measure. A wide variety of accommodations are available, including very large (all suite) rooms that you can fit your whole family (and in… Continue reading Great Wolf Lodge Review
Pizza Ranch Buffet Review
I wonder if they thought of the name “Chicken Ranch” but had to discard it due to an unsavory association with a Nevada business of the same name? The only reason I am wondering about this is while the pizza is good at Pizza Ranch, the fried chicken is the star of the show. In… Continue reading Pizza Ranch Buffet Review
Paul Bunyan Cook Shanty Review – Wisconsin Dells, WI
How I love breakfast buffets, let me count the ways: bacon, sausage, ham. You (I) get to eat literally pounds of breakfast meats (if I chose) and skip the other stuff. This joint (and a sister location upstate in Minoqua) has been serving up “lumberjack style” meals for decades. That descriptor actually refers to being… Continue reading Paul Bunyan Cook Shanty Review – Wisconsin Dells, WI

Around the Clock Review – Crystal Lake, IL
Despite there being an awfully lot of diners in the US that were founded by, or are run by persons of Greek descent, it’s uncommon that you run into places serving a “Greek burger,” which happens to be a combination I really enjoy. The recipe doesn’t vary much, and usually includes lettuce, tomato, cuke slices,… Continue reading Around the Clock Review – Crystal Lake, IL
Casa Rio Review – Anoka, MN
In order to have an appreciation for the “TexMex” cuisine that Casa Rio serves, one must first have a clear understanding of the difference between “Mexican” food and “TexMex.” The latter is simply Americanized Mexican cuisine that was popularized in Texas during early settler days, and took advantage of local ingredients not commonly available in… Continue reading Casa Rio Review – Anoka, MN
