The Old Fashioned makes an appearance in the NYT!
The Old Fashioned (23 North Pinckney Street; 608-310-4545; www.theoldfashioned.com), serves the food that “makes Wisconsin so Wisconsin,” so it’s no surprise that an entire section of the menu is devoted to cheese. The bar and restaurant is reminiscent of a late-19th-century saloon filled with Grandma’s antiques, but with a hipster flare. The cheese curds ($6.95) are a must for sampling, as is the spicy bloody mary ($7), which is served with at least three seasonal garnishes — one drink was festooned with a brussels sprout, a radish and an onion.
I miss Wisconsin.
Best place in Madison!
