Our Mission

August 2005. That's when we first moved to Madison, WI. We thought we had moved here for graduate school. But we realized that what we REALLY moved here for was the food.

Madison claims to have the most restaurants per capita than any city in the United States. While there are others also touting such fame (darn you San Francisco, Louisville and Dallas), we can be pretty sure that we have about 437 restaurants...and about 225,000 people. Not too bad. From Tibetan to Italian, from Russian to Mexican, from French to Peruvian, from East African to Laotian, there is truly not a corner of the world unexplored here.

Determined to find our favorite we have been slowly trying ALL restaurants in the city. A little late to blog about our journey, a friend recently suggested we share our experiences. And so we are. Some of these are places we have tried years ago (and our reviews are admittedly, based on recall but believe us, food is something that leaves a lasting impression!), some are new, and some are on deck (you can see those over on the right hand side of the page).

We'll give you our honest reviews, opinions, memories, and perhaps even throw in some "do (or sometimes don't) try this at home" recipes we have recreated.

Thanks for reading and enjoy!
