Madison, Wis.
Slow food may be a new term for some, but its core concept is deeply embedded in the Midwest’s gastronomic culture. Take the supper club, a “slow food” model once popular in the region, where diners spent an entire evening socializing over hearty food and robust spirits. The Old Fashioned harks back to those days with cheese from more than 25 Wisconsin creameries and suds from breweries across the state (even the appropriately named Supper Club lager from Capital Brewing), all while building an appetite for sizable Wisconsin plates like a classic prime rib dinner.
