The cheese Pierogies at the Polanez (featured restaurant) stand at Milwaukee's Polishfest get a big thumbs up.

I WANT A REAL SANDWICH... PLEASE!!!
I'm sick and tired of these wimpy commercial sandwiches and subs that people try to pass off on me. Really? You call that a sandwich. I need to vent... click here

The Paddock Club is the Place in Elkart
The historic resort / race town of Elkart Lake Wisconsin has so much to offer visitors. On the food-side, The Paddock club offers some amazing dishes and a unique look into the history of Elkart. If you are at Road America for a race, or vacationing on the lake... it's a must.
Hofbrauhaus (Old German Beer Hall)
AKA "The Old German Beer Hall", HoffbrauHaus is one of my favorite places to hit on the road. In the heart of Milwaukee on Old World 3rd street, delight in the taste and feel of bavarian culture. At night the place comes alive with polka and festive locals who make it an amazing experience. Play the hammer-nail-log game in the back. Enjoy a tall beer and some great authentic German food. Try the Uber-Brat or my favorites... the Muchner Weiswurst (white sausage) or Leberkase (German Pork Meatloaf).

Polonez
A true taste of Milwaukee's Polish-rich heritage. I've never had Pierogies quite like I've had at Polonez. The Dill Pickle Soup, Sausages and all... so worth the trip.

Lakefront Brewery - Friday Fish Fry
This is one of my favorite experiences in my years of travel to the Milwaukee area. The Lakefront Brewery is a popular local brewery. Their Friday Firsh Fry is of legend. Last year we got a table (their is a wait) and had some of the most amazing food in a family atmosphere while listening to the Polka Kings play. The kids were dancing while Lawrence Welk's original bubble machine put a see of bubbles flying above the dance-floor. A-MAZING.

FAN FIND - MICHIGAN
Debbie Elling Shares Her Spot
Debbie Elling is a long-time NASCAR racing fan and she knows her food too. Aside from bring smiles, hugs and chocolate chip cookies to us like she does every year, this time she is sharing one of her favorite food-finds nearby the track. Check it out...
WISCONSIN OH MY!
The NASCAR Nationwide Series races Elkart Lake's Road America (WI) for the first time. The course has no lights around it so there is no excuse to not travel the hour to Milwaukee and still experience some of that great city's culture. Both locations have so much to offer as far as entertainment and food! Gotta love that old-world culture
POLISHFEST
Want to have a super-good time while in Wisconsin this week? And also sample some amazing food? Yeah, Polishfest is the place. Down at Milwaukee's Summerfest grounds, Polishfest is the nation's largest Polish festival. Speedeats will be there on Sunday for sure.
WINE AND CHEESE
While Sonoma is known for it's wine, which is so commonly amazing with select cheeses, Wisconsin is the cheese capital of America. If you are in Wisconsin, try some cheese curds. Regular Curds or fried, they are delicious!
BEVERAGES ANYONE?
Near the track at Road America a great little night-spot. Siebkens resort's Rathskeller bar (downstairs) bar is a popular place for locals and race people. www.siebkens.com

Road America
Featured Pick: Paddock Club at Elkart Lake
THIS is the place to eat right near the Road America track. It comes highly suggested by spotter Frank Bolter and Jon Chisholm. Gourmet dining at Elkart Lake. An ever-changing menu. For an appetizer try the crispy pork belly. All the salads are wonderful. For an entree, try the pan roasted halibut, roasted porchetta, bone-in ribeye(18 oz) and the hanger steak (most popular).

Darlington Piggly Wiggly Cookout!
Now folks, this is random. Driving through the sleepy southern town of Darlington, South Carolina on the day of the Southern 500, we happened upon this local Piggly WIggly grocery store. The rest is Random Yumminess history!
