I loved the "Vices" challenge from Las Vegas. If there's ever been a challenge where I've sat down and thought out what I would have done in that challenge, it would be this one.

Love New Glarus! We moved from Wisconsin to North Carolina a few years ago, and we still tell everyone about Spotted Cow. It's wonderful to see a smaller brewery get the attention it deserves.

Appleton:
Copper Rock has some great baked goods for breakfast, Katsu Ya for Japanese food, Hu Hot for Mongolian Barbeque, Victoria's for Italian, Franks for Pizza.

Neenah (about 15-20 minutes down 41)
Cy's Asian Bistro has the most amazing Thai food anywhere. I moved from Neenah about a year ago, and still dream of this place. That being said, Boa Ju has great Chinese food.

Hope this helps!

I definitely thought of the whole confiscation thing after I posted this. So I think one thing I might do is make a little recipe book of backpacking recipes and whatnot. They're trying to stay on a tight budget, and I don't think any of them can cook.

There's also a FANTASTIC pizza restaurant in Chicago called My Pi.

Last year I worked in a warehouse and the day before Thanksgiving they got us a turkey cake from a grocery store. Nobody touched it because we were all afraid it was going to be meat flavored.

I have always heard the Hamburger was created in Seymour, Wisconsin. Granted, I'm from Wisconsin, but still.

maybe I'm crazy but in Sacramento I always heard it referred to as Coke.
And what about Soda Pop? That's when things get really crazy.

pjracz10,

leinenkugel is a Wisconsin brand, but I know you can buy it around the country (I live in NC right now, and we're able to find it). They've got tons of flavors, a lot are seasonal, but if you can find a "Leinie Lodge" I recommend getting it. It's an assortment of their best beers.

You can tell when my mother is upset, because she makes Rice Crispy Treats, and they don't even make it to the pan.

Thank you SO much!
Now I'm really excited for December...
