About This Blog

Thirsty? Hungry?

Me too. Most of the time, anyway. That’s where The Chow Down comes in. This is your one-stop-shop for insight into Madison's dynamic food and drink scene. I will make every effort to bring you news and reviews on the new and the old, the hip and the dive, the laid back and the swanky. So pull up a chair, tuck in that napkin and raise a glass. It’s chow time.
