POP-UP RESTAURANTS
H
ere in the northwoods, “pop-up” isn’t just a kind of camper anymore: Restauranteurs are letting their creativity flourish through now-you-see-’em, now-you-don’t eating experiences. Pop-up restaurants give diners a chance to try new tastes and chefs the opportunity to test out new ideas. Here are a handful of pop-ups that we’ve seen (and, we hope, will see again) in the Valley. —
FONTINALIS • Recently transplanted from the Big Apple, Brendan McHale has brought Fontinalis to Bomb Tacos (504 N. Bridge St., Chippewa Falls) and Northbound Supply Co. (215 N.

They were voted Best Pop-Up restaurant in Volume One’s 2018 Best of the Chippewa Valley Reader Poll.

BURGER NIGHT AT TOGETHER FARMS • Pop-Up Burger Nights at Together Farms (W93 Norden Road, Mondovi) redefine burgers in a rural setting during the summer.

FIRST WEDNESDAY WINE PAIRING AT FORAGE • On the first Wednesday of each month, Forage (Building 13, Suite 212 at 930 Galloway St., Eau Claire) at Banbury Place hosts a four-course dinner prepared by chef Michelle Thiede paired with wines by William Bernier (a.k.a.

FOOD TRUCKS OF THE VALLEY BRINGING YOU GREAT GRUB ON WHEELS
I
n the past few years, the Chippewa Valley has begun to climb onto the national food truck bandwagon, and recently the trend has begun to pick up speed locally. In February 2018, the Eau Claire City Council expanded the number of parks where licensed food trucks can serve up mobile munchies year-round. New parks on that list include Boyd, Lakeshore, McDonough, and Half Moon Lake. (Trucks were already allowed in Owen, Phoenix, Carson, Riverview, Soccer, and Pinehurst parks.) In addition, the ordinance
allows food trucks to serve from 4-7pm one evening a week during June, July, and August in five smaller parks: Newell, Cameron, Mitscher, Demmler, and County Farm. According to a city staff document accompanying the proposal, “The idea is to encourage neighborhoods to come out and have dinner together, in the park, one night a week. Statistics show that neighborhoods that know each other have less crime rates than those that do not.” So grab some grub and meet your neighbors!
