{"product_id":"wisconsin-supper-clubs-one-for-the-road","title":"Wisconsin Supper Clubs: One For The Road","description":"\u003cp\u003eStep into a Wisconsin supper club and you step into a world of tradition, reinvention, and wonderfully unlikely history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotographer Ron Faiola takes us inside more than 40 of these distinctly Wisconsin establishments, exploring a dining tradition that remains largely unknown beyond the state. There are common hallmarks—old-fashioned interiors, Old Fashioneds made with brandy, hearty food, relish trays, and long meals meant for lingering—but every club has its own character and its own story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFaiola, who has spent years photographing and documenting Wisconsin’s supper clubs, profiles each one through its history, owners, staff, and menu, accompanied by 8 to 12 photographs of the food, interiors, and people. This is not a cookbook: there are no recipes. Instead, it is a portrait of a type of place, a tradition, and the people who have kept both alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd what stories they are. The Britain House Supper Club in Waupun sits just blocks from the Waupun Correctional Institution, in a building that has been, at various points, a gas station, bait shop, tavern, malt shop, and dangerous biker bar before becoming known for its steaks. Kickapoo Creekside in Readstown began as a chicken coop. Toby’s in Madison was opened by a World War I flying ace. The Relish in Germantown occupies a building dating to 1836.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone drawn to regional American traditions, and to the colorful histories that make them worth preserving, this is a journey through Wisconsin one supper club, and one old-fashioned, at a time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardcover.
