“Broasted Chicken, A Wisconsin Original”
Presented by Daniel Higgins
6:30 pm, Wednesday, September 1, 2021
Online Meeting via Zoom (see access info below)
Did you know Broaster is a trademarked brand? The combination deep fryer and pressure cooker is a Wisconsin invention that took flight at supper clubs, taverns, and restaurants across the state. Broasters are manufactured and seasonings are blended in Beloit and shipped around the world.

Unless otherwise noted, they’re held at Goodman Community Center (Ironworks Bldg.), 149 Waubesa, Madison, WI. Meetings are free and open to the public and feature invited speakers, lively discussions, food samplings (served 15 minutes before the meeting begins) and more. See below for info about our newsletter, membership, traveling library and more.

If you’re coming to the meeting, why not bring some nonperishable food items to donate to the Goodman Community Center food pantry! Donations also welcome.
CHEW Library – One advantage of coming to a monthly CHEW meeting is access to CHEW’s traveling library. Our collection totals almost 125 titles, ranging from James Beard award winner The Sioux’s Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen to the very drinkable Bottoms Up: A Toast to Wisconsin’s Historic Bars and Breweries. To peruse all the book titles in our library, click Culinary. You can put in an “order” for a specific book by emailing chewwisconsin@gmail.com. The book will be brought to the next in-person meeting (if it hasn’t already been checked out). Several titles will also be featured at each meeting–you’ll hear a short review and will have the opportunity to check one of the featured titles out for a month.
Facebook – We also invite you to join CHEW on Facebook, for fascinating food links, discussions and more: https://www.facebook.com/groups/chewwis/
