On December 10th Arcadia<\/a> (the new book store in Spring Green) hosted a special dinner with Isaac Spicer, the chef of Milkweed<\/a>.\u00a0 Everything for the\u00a05 course\u00a0(+ an amuse-bouche) dinner was sourced locally, from within 30 miles of Spring Green (and local is not<\/em> always an easy task in Wisconsin in December).\u00a0 After the starters (homemade breads with lots of whipped butter) there was a squash soup with micro-greens and pickled radish, followed by a roasted beet and Pleasant Ridge Reserve<\/a> salad.\u00a0 The main course was Guinea Hog<\/a> cooked with apple cider, served with wilted spinach and mashed potatoes+celeriac.\u00a0 Finally, for dessert, there was a a choux-style pastry filled with (lightly) carmelized apples and custard and served with\u00a0more\u00a0custard as well as\u00a0raspberry and mint sauces.\u00a0 Given our previous experiences with Milkweed, we expected excellence and we were not disappointed.\u00a0 For me the highlight of the meal was the roasted beet salad, but the whole meal was top drawer.<\/p>\n

Of course, this dinner has already happened, so what good does this do you?\u00a0 Well, if you are reading this before January 1st (2012) then you’ve got a chance to book one of the last few seats left for the New Year’s Eve dinner at Arcadia, once again with Isaac Spicer.\u00a0 If you are reading this too late or already have plans, the good news is that the dinners has been well received so far and I believe Isaac Spicer and Arcadia intend to have at least one more event this winter.\u00a0 And, of course, even when Isaac is busy elsewhere, Arcadia has various themed dinner nights (check out their facebook page<\/a> for more info).\u00a0 I haven’t really mentioned Arcadia too much, but it both an awesome bookstore and a great venue for these wonderful dinners (they also served lunch snacks during the day, by the way).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
