Capital ideas
We had already made our way to Madison this past summer when we filmed and sampled beer at "The Great Taste of the Midwest," but our cameras and crew were across the lake and in the open summer air. For this episode, we chose winter, the hallowed halls of the capitol building, and the exceptional kitchen of L'Etoile situated on the Capitol Square.

Wisconsin Foodie: January alchemy
Foodies stretch limits. It is part of our inner creed. Molecular gastronomy, haute cuisine, small plate -- everything. We are always leaning with one part of our palate to the new and inventive, which is why I was thrilled to meet a true maverick traditionalist.

If the words foie gras, pommes frites and bouillabaisse roll off the average American's tongue, it is in large part due to two chefs and personalities that have shaped the American culinary scene more than any other: Jacques Pepin and Julia Child.

Foodie hibernation
I have to admit -- even the most ardent of foodies can feel a bit to far to the bacchanal side of things at the end-of-year; the Wisconsin Foodie production crew not excluded. We rallied ourselves to a true New Year's resolution -- a new airtime to coincide with the new year.
