Blast from the Past—Calling All Cheeseheads!


The Bully appreciates all the support and feedback from family, friends, current and former colleagues, and of course, New Bullies.


While launching this site, the Bully has found it very rewarding to receive your encouragement, reminders of great food experiences together, tips on new places to go and recipes to try, and ideas to improve the Food Bully experience.


The Bully would encourage everyone to use this blog to post your questions, comments, ideas, and experiences for all to share and enjoy in order to expand and grow the Bully network.


And, if you enjoy this blog, please invite other food obsessed to join the Bully!

The Bully received a reminder from a former colleague about a past business trip to visit a potential client in Manitowoc Wisconsin. Manitowoc is a sleepy town best known for building ships and submarines. In seeking a great food experience while heading into town for a day trip, the Bully noted that Sheboygan was on the path to and from the meeting site.


Sheboygan is known as “home of the grilled bratwurst, appropriately served on a Sheboygan hardroll with mustard and onions”.


As my former associate noted: “I remember the Charcoal Inn in Wisconsin for the excellent double brat sandwich, an hour after having talked about cranes and forklifts with some disinterested executive in Manitowoc, in some non-descript 70's high-school looking building at the end of a dirt road!”


Both the client visit and the Charcoal Inn were classics, with the food leaving a much better memory for the excellent brat, with a hamilton beach mixed coffee shake on the side.


Anyone had a great brat lately?


Also, look for more postings on the Cheesehead state as my son is now a Badger!
