Campfire Conversation: In Wisconsin, it’s no secret, or surprise, that we love supper clubs. It’s a dining experience like no other that includes a whole lot of food for not too much money. It’s an experience that starts at the bar where the most popular drink ordered is the Old Fashioned. A typical meal may include a relish tray, bread, soup, salad, an entrée such as steak, chicken or fish and ice cream drinks for dessert.  

Most supper clubs are multi-generational family run businesses and feature recipes that have been around just as long. You can’t be in a hurry though. The experience could take a couple of hours, especially if you go on a weekend. The Calumet County region has 16 supper clubs to choose from and is known as the Supper Club Capital of the Midwest®. Get your notes app ready for this episode as you map out your tour of supper clubs that you need to try and which restaurants are known for which menu item!
