Restaurants to Avoid in Northeast Wisconsin

Over the past couple years of us writing this blog, we’ve had a handful of truly awful dining experiences and we’ve chosen not to share them because we didn’t want to come off as know-it-alls or offend people. While that is still true, between a recent bad experience and our readers asking for a candid “where not to go” blog, […]

Apollon

It’s special when friends or family come together to share an experience more than just a meal. The Apollon in Appleton is one of those places you get that kind of immersive experience, and it begins when you hear someone yell “OPA!” accompanied by a flash of heat behind you. Your first reaction will be startled but soon you’ll be […]

Ellinor

There’s a new kid on the block: Ellinor. She’s a little bit of a nerd, has great taste but doesn’t know what personal space is. We’re obviously not talking about a person. We’re talking about the new restaurant tucked into the residential neighborhood just north of Downtown Appleton.  In A Bite Ellinor restaurant MENU Ambiance: Contemporary Minimal Music: Pop Service: […]

The film follows Jack Black and Owen Wilson as rival birdwatchers who are competing to identify the most birds in a single year. Lame? To most. To me? It started a casual love for the natural beauty of birds. Fratellos Waterfront […]

Mad Apple Burger & Billiards Co.

The big apple is just down the street from you, in the middle of fast food and plenty of shiny new cars. Skip the fast food and drive your old car to Mad Apple Burger and Billiards. They’ve made a pretty big name for themselves in the area AND on the internet. Each April Fools Day, they redress the front […]

The G Farm

A few months ago I (Lindsay) was listening to a podcast about food issues in America. I’m a health nut so this is pretty normal for me. The podcast covered the topic of the meat industry and how corrupt it is. I’ll spare you the disturbing details but here are the highlights: Animals are severely mistreated or abused. Animals are […]

SAP – Best Brunch in Appleton?

Farm to table restaurants have been rising in popularity, and we are thrilled about it. We recently educated ourselves on how food is grown/raised and what it means for both humans and the environment. While that’s a topic for another time, there’s a restaurant in Appleton that’s taking the locally sourced, sustainable approach: SAP.  Their website even says, “We are […]
