Graze Gastropub & L’Etoile Restaurant
Slow-food pioneer Odessa Piper offered farm-to-table dinners at L’Etoile for 30 years. These days, chef Tory Miller does the cooking, with seasonal ingredients sourced at the farmers’ market. Graze slings organic sandwiches, burgers and mussels during the day, and the attached bakery wafts pastries.

The Old Fashioned
With its dark, woodsy decor, the Old Fashioned evokes a supper club, a type of time-warped eatery common in the upper Midwest. The menu is all Wisconsin specialties, including walleye, cheese soup and sausages. There's even a relish tray, for those who know their supper club staples. It's hard to choose among the 150 types of state-brewed suds in bottles, so opt for a sampler (four or eight little glasses) from the 30 Wisconsin tap beers.

Food Trucks
Madison's fleet impresses. The more traditional ones, serving barbecue, burritos, southwestern-style fare and Chinese food, ring the Capitol. The corner of King St is well endowed. Trucks ladling out more adventurous dishes – ie East African, Jamaican, Indonesian, vegan – huddle at the foot of State St by campus.
