FOODCOUNTRY HEIGHTS SUPPER CLUB

Country Heights Supper Club can accommodate groups of 15 to 150 and offers � ne dining in a casual setting.

The restaurant is known to be full of life! As you enter there is a large, rectangular bar to the right with regular patrons occupying each chair, enjoying one another’s company before advancing to their tables for dinner.

The bar has long, thin mirrors running along the wall to add light and depth to the large building. The opposite wall features beautiful outdoor scenes and wildlife. The restaurant has various sized tables arrayed with � owers and a candle for the many dining guests. There are intimate tables for two, the standard four-seat con� gura-tion, and long rectangular settings for groups. At the rear of the building, you can see the large salad bar and to the left is another room with more dining tables for the many nightly guests.

You will be greeted by the hostess, with a brief review of the menu indicating a diverse assortment of dishes, with all of the local favorites, plus several hard-to-� nd choices. We offer family-style dinners of fowl, ham, beef, and seafood—each served with a choice of potato. We also offer several pasta selections.

All dinners begin with the wonderful salad bar with its wide assortment of home-made items. You can also start your meal with an appetizer if you are so inclined. You might try one of our common appetizer options, including the hot wings, onion rings, breaded cheese curds or maybe even the shrimp cocktail.

FOODTHE HISTORY OF PIZZERIA UNO

1943 Franklin Roosevelt is in of� ce, and something is happening in downtown Chicago. On the corner of Ohio and Wabash, a pizzeria opens up. The Pizzeria saw great success with its deep dish pizzas. As time went on, the small pizzeria became the chain of restaurants know as Uno Chicago Grill. However, this is where we separate from our shared past!

1976 Tom Kelly, who worked at the original Pizzeria Uno, purchased the Old Eagles Club building in Platteville. After obtaining the rights to the Pizzeria Uno name in Wisconsin, he set out to re-create the original Pizzeria Uno. With his previous knowledge, he added a Wisconsin twist to the deep dish pizzas that saw success years ago. Now separate and running his own Pizzeria Uno, he made the pizzas for the people in Platteville. They enjoyed the pizzas as much as he did making them.

1994 Many more years pass, and a new couple dined at Pizzeria Uno. They both enjoyed the pizza so much, that they saw a destiny of one day owning the Pizzeria. In 1994, John and Karen Utley purchased Pizzeria Uno, ful� lling their destiny! As the new owners, they wanted to preserve the quality and taste of the 1976 pizza. Since then, the pizza has not changed and the pizzeria continues to bring the pizza that they � rst fell in love with. John and Karen also wanted to bring exceptional service to the restaurant, another promise they keep to this day.

1995 The Utley’s acquired Weygant’s Appliance building right next door. Wanting a more bar centric location, they transformed the appliance store into the Annex. It was and still is stocked for drinks of all kinds for the people of Platteville. Even after the pizzeria closed for the night, the Annex would stay open longer into the night. Many parties and game victories have been celebrated at the Annex since.

2008 Both Pizzeria Uno and the Annex see another change. The Utley’s really enjoyed the river that ran behind the Pizzeria. They wanted something to share that experience as well as have that outdoor feel. Their solution was adding another bar to the Uno’s family! The Back Bar, an open air bar, was built right across from the Annex by the small creek. The great Wisconsin outdoors add to the events and parties that show up year after year. pizzeriauno.net

FOODAWARD WINNING WEBER MEATS

by Lisa Banfi eld

Weber Meats, Inc., has been a family business since 1905 when Otto Weber came to Wisconsin from Switzerland. He used the skills he had learned in the family business back home including product recipes that had been handed

down through the generations. Hard work, quality products and caring service were characteristics passed down from father to sons for several generations. Otto Jr. started a very successful meat processing business in Cuba City. Weber Brothers Processing continued to � ourish under the guidance of sons Norm, Reg, Lee and David. In 2010 Norm’s son Dan and his wife Tracy took over the business where they continue to operate as fourth generation owners.

Weber Meats Inc., offer a complete line of fresh and frozen beef, pork and lamb. Hams, bacon, and sausages are cured and smoked the old-fashioned way using the recipes that have been in the family for generations.

Weber’s has also been competitive in the American Association of Meat Processors cured meats competition taking home numerous Champion, Reserve Grand Champion and Grand Champion awards for their sausage and ham products. Dan Weber was inducted into the AAMP Cured Meat Hall of Fame in 2007. Such success illustrates Dan’s emphasis on using high quality raw materials and taking no short cuts during the curing and smoking process. Weber’s pride themselves in providing wholesome products with knowledgeable and friendly staff.

FOODWELCOME TO WATER STREET PLACE!

by Kathy Neumeister

Water Street Place invites you to join them on historic Water Street in downtown Shullsburg, WI. Settle in for a great meal and take in the view of historic Water Street through the 9-foot-tall Victorian era front windows.

The Water Street Place & Historic Inn is nestled in a two-story cream brick Italianate building on Shullsburg’s historic Water Street. Built in 1883 during the prosperous

lead mining days, this Italianate gem was built by Pete Richards, a contractor for J.M. Brewster for commercial rental use.

Over the years, many businesses have come and gone including attorneys, dentists, mining engineers, the post of� ce, library and city of� ces among others.

The most notable tenant, The First National Bank, opened its doors in 1909. Mementoes from those days still appear on the walls of the building. The bank’s original vault doors were blown off with nitroglycerin by Chicago Blackie and his gang in 1925. During the Great Depression, the bank closed its doors and the business never re-opened. Today, the vault houses a different kind of treasure – it stores many Wisconsin beers and � ne wines.

The building sat empty and in disrepair for over 20 years. In 2001, Chuck and Jill Staab began the restoration project. The husband and wife team applied the skills they had learned from past endeavors, including restoration and decorating and inn-keeping and restaurant management to create a memorable experience for visitors and residents of Shullsburg and the surrounding area. The building at Water Street Place is one of many on Water Street listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Water Street Pub offers a Pub Style menu with appetizers, specialty sandwiches,
