Why Supper Clubs Are Great Places To Go To

By Ruth Walker


One type of restaurant that gained currency in the twentieth century had their start during Prohibition days. Mainly, their beginnings were interesting because they were supported by passing gangsters on the run from the Feds. These restos were located in very small towns nobody have heard of that took in gangsters who were quiet and did not really bother anyone in the town.

Plus, the gangs also provided the best liquor during a time when places all over the country were desert dry. Wisconsin supper clubs had their start like this, but it took no time for the innkeepers to become legitimate destinations for people to go to when prohibition was over. These were good places with a history and so became famous.

In this day and time, the club of this type is where fine folks can go to and rub elbows with others when dining and drinking. Standards here are for fine dining, and any other kind of new innovation in food preparation, restaurant etiquette and technology. Supper clubs are among the most progressive of dining places.

The state of Wisconsin used to have a lot less people and some great backroads. There were hamlets to be found by these roads, families of farmers that wanted to live together. Gang members in need of a break traveled found these, far from the long arm of the law and with excellent countrysides to hide in.

The main street salon and restaurant, such as it was in these places, came to take them in with some caution. However, these boys were out for a break, some good food to eat and a drink without toting their tommy guns. Eventually, the innkeepers started dusting off their family recipes to give them something special to remember, even as they brought in quality food items and bonded liquor.

Supper clubs became progressive places with a spirit of conviviality and high times, and offered great food and accommodations. These are often found outside of big cities, to where the highways become quieter and more rural. But these are highly accessible for motorists, and are often just 45 minutes away from a big city.

The state therefore has its own excellent version of out of the way clubs with an aura. These are not exclusive, but operate more like starred places on the Michelin book on the suburbs of Paris. They are actually very legit, and have nothing of the spirit left from those times when gangsters where their main source of income.

These restaurants, though, do not shy away from the past. The past is found on the walls, about harder times, but these cannot be seen in the way service is provided. Furtive enjoyment is not the thing here, just an open but quiet appreciation of things.

The tastes here are American or Midwestern, classic portions of steak, with excellent sides. But then, the owners are worldly enough and feature many kinds of entrees. These are diners that become instant favorites with first timers, and the tradition of quiet welcome continues, a thing that gangs from yesteryear appreciated in their own way.
