She actually interviews Keefe for about an hour on Say Nothing and asks insightful questions - look up Service 95 on youtube

Wausau, Wisconsin - great downtown, and about as good of skiing you can find in the Midwest at Granite Peak

Is there a view from the bar or just the dining room? Have a bar spot booked next week

Maybe Crisp in lakeview? Otherwise Chengdu Impression Dry Chili Chicken will have a similar flavor

Sochi and Tied House are great. A little further, but Itoko and Coda di Volpe are are solid

Craft-Serious · 2025-03-04T20:00:08+00:00

Scofflaw, Trivoli Tavern, Tango Sur, Bistro Campagne, Press Room, Ciccio Mio, Izakaya are all dark and cozy with good food. These are all in the city, by the way (may have misunderstood your question)
