Wisconsin Supper Clubs: Another Round; a sequel to author/photographer Ron Faiola's wildly popular first book on the topic (now in its sixth printing); gives readers a peek inside 50 additional clubs from across the Badger State.Traveling from the Northwoods to Beloit; Faiola documents some of the most exceptional and long-lived restaurants that embrace the decades-old supper club tradition. These are largely family-owned establishments that believe in old-fashioned hospitality; slow-paced dining; and good scratch cooking.In this guide; readers will find interviews with supper club proprietors and customers as well as a bounty of photographs of classic dishes; club interiors; and other scenes from Faiola’s extensive travels.Despite the chain restaurants that continue to dominate the culinary landscape; supper clubs across the Midwest are thriving today in many of the same ways as they have for the past 80 years. The term "supper club" has even been borrowed recently by the burgeoning underground restaurant scene; which champions an upscale-yet-communal dining experience similar to that offered by traditional supper clubs.Wisconsin Supper Clubs: Another Round is a new; intimate look at this unique American tradition; one that invites supper club enthusiasts and newcomers alike to enjoy a second helping of everything that made Wisconsin Supper Clubs such a hit.

14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Tome on the Civil War in East Tennessee and BeyondBy J. C. Tumblin ODScholarly; yet highly readable. Professor Fowler's new book provides needed background on the motivations of East Tennessee's Confederate volunteers; their wartime service; their medical histories and; uniquely; their post-war lives.In the tradition of Inscoe; Fisher; McKenzie; Groce; et al; "Mountaineers in Gray" sheds much more light on East Tennessee's Confederates from Hamilton; Knox; Washington; Sullivan; Rhea; McMinn; Polk and Hawkins counties.Organized by the wealthy Anderson County attorney and plantation owner; Col. David H. Cummings; the Nineteenth fought in almost all of the battles in the Western Theatre from 1861-65. After he was wounded at Shiloh; Col. Cummings joined his son as a cotton factor in New Orleans; Louisiana and on their plantation near Baton Rouge. Col. F.M. Walker replaced him.The 62 pages of Endnotes and Bibliography are worth the price of the book by themselves for any serious student of the war in the Western Theatre.The design and production of this and other recent University of Tennessee Press books is worthy of emulation by other publishers. Their method of providing headings (ie.; "Notes to Pages 12-18") for the endnotes is especially noteworthy.As a Past-President of the Knoxville Civil War Roundtable; I can recommend this landmark treatise without reservation.
