Wisconsin Food Scene

Wisconsin's food culture is built on three non-negotiable pillars: cheese, Friday fish fry, and the supper club. Wisconsin produces more cheese than any other state — including iconic varieties like Colby (invented here in 1885), string cheese, and fresh cheese curds that squeak when they're fresh — and the state's reverence for dairy is a matter of deep civic pride. The Friday night fish fry is a Catholic-heritage tradition that has transcended religion to become a Wisconsin institution; beer-battered walleye or perch with tartar sauce and potato pancakes at a neighborhood bar is one of the state's most reliable pleasures. The supper club — a distinctly Midwestern dining format of dark wood, relish trays, and brandy Old Fashioneds — reached its apex in Wisconsin.
Known for: Friday fish fry (beer-battered walleye), cheese curds, bratwurst, kringle, supper clubs, Door County cherry pie
