Friday night and fish fry go hand in hand in Wisconsin.  It's tradition. What can I say?  Might be cod, might be blue gill or walleye, might even be perch. But the best fish is beer battered with slaw and a cold brew on the side.

My guess is that just about any bar or pub you wander into in Madison on a Friday night will have it's version of The ...

Ella's Deli, on Madison's east side, not only temps the taste buds, it noggles all the senses.   How to describe it?

When our college-age son arrived home after a year studying in Japan, we asked what he was hungry for in terms of good ol' "American" fare.  His answer was immediate and direct: Real pizza, authentic Mexican food, and a big, juicy hamburger.  Not all at once of course.  And, okay, so Mexican isn't "American," but it also isn't Japanese (which he loves, but he was definitely missing food from home.)
