Madison Food:: A History of Capital Cuisine (American Palate) Paperback – June 22, 2015

I’ve enjoyed reading it as my husband, daughter and son in law are UW grads

It's so interesting to see cities and the food scene evolve and change throughout the years. Definitely worth the read!

Great historical book!

These writers are fantastic!

just as expected.

SUMMARY: A useful and resourceful book on the history of Madison cuisine, Madison Food is a well-written, well-researched and well-enjoyed book on food found in the capital city of Wisconsin. From shacks to fine restaurants and every place in-between, authors Nichole Fromm and Jonmichael Rasmus provide a foodie tour of Madison, Wisconsin. Intriguing history, amusing stories, interesting antidotes, delicious suggestions and driving directions all fuse together for a delectable book. Full color pictures, black and white vintage photographs and appendices of eateries grouped by various categories complete the piece.A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS: For anyone spending a day or merely passing through Madison, Wisconsin, Madison Food is definitely a book to have on-hand. With plenty of available food choices from bakeries, delis, restaurants and markets, ranging from quick, historical, contemporary and cultural, the city of Madison offers something for everyone. Not only did I learn a bit of history within a capital city, I also gleaned some interesting, tasty places to try for lunch. Hopefully part of a series, I certainly will watch for similar types of books while traveling.RATING: 4.5 (out of 5) pennies*I received a complimentary copy of Madison Food from The History Press for my honest review*

EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!Obviously you can't mention every restaurant and every reader is gonna have a gripe or two about some favorite place missing from the top 100 list.2 places I'll never forget that I'd like to give special mention to are -1. ZARITAS - Located on State St. Fast Food Mexican. If you've been there you know EXACTLY what I mean !!!2. UNCLE STANLEY'S STEAMERS - Located in University Square Mall (long gone now). The best (and most unique sandwiches) !!!!

Very interesting and enjoyable!
