Plot summary
Supper clubs began as a dining trend across the United States in the mid twentieth century, places where an evening stretched over cocktails, a home cooked meal of high quality and live entertainment. Elsewhere the fashion passed. In Wisconsin the culture around them let them thrive, and for decades the state's supper clubs have kept their own style and traditions, from the relish tray to the fish fry and the old fashioned cocktail. Many are family businesses, and they offer a personal touch that a quick modern meal does not. As chain restaurants keep expanding, these establishments work to stay open and to keep serving their communities.
