May 31, 2007

This evening I participated in a Madison area “foodie” panel. It was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed meeting people of like minds, and I hope to continue to connect with all of them in the future, in one way or another. My thanks to the moderators: Eating in Madison from A to Z. [...]

I was born and raised on the north side of Madison. This means that I’ve always aligned myself with the “East Side” faction of the Great Madison Eastside/Westside fray.

Dainec, a local web-friend that I’ve known for three years or so, but have never met (just when are we going to go and get that coffee?), alerted me to the fact that Cuisine Capers was mentioned in the latest issue of The Isthmus, a weekly Madison newspaper tradition.
