Yeah.

This

pickled garlic.

And it was a cousin challenge while we were there.

You know, these things happen.

You go out of

town and

do these things with your cousins.

And so.

Well, mine started to a sister challenge because my sister was there and we were both like.

I

don't know.

Right, right, right, right.

Absolutely.

OK, let's be real.

You know how black people are.

That's right.

But it was the black people that found it, you know, my cousin and her her group.

Right.

And so when we were at the read, it wasn't a repass.

It was just they had refreshments at the wake.

And.

You know people on the side eating it and I just came in and I was like what what's that so Come down to me and my sister.

We got there.

There's video footage of it.

because it wasn't bad to

you.

It wasn't because it just was no big deal.

It really wasn't bad.

I still see it.

I think Truth Nation deserves to see it.

He might just do it.

Thank you.

In advance.

All right.

Uh, so, uh, okay.

Oh, who is it?

Uh, curbside tech.

on our YouTube page says, Bucky is nice.

It reminded me of Boomland.

OK, I don't know what Boomland is.

I don't know what that is.

OK.

I don't know.

I'm not

from here.

What is that?

It's not here.

Oh, it's not here.

Was it?

Tell me, is it a black movie?

I did.

I missed it.

Was it?

I let someone for Truth Nation because I, you know, I'm trying to gather myself that you don't know what Boomland is.

But I get it.

No, I

don't.

I'm from Seattle

Washington.

I'm from Seattle, Washington.

I make no bones about it.

I do not grow up in the

hood.

I'm not from the

hood.

I wouldn't know about the producer Xavier.

Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

Do you know anything about boomland?

No.

What year

was that?

Okay.

See, it's still here.

It's present.

It's it's

yes.

Never heard of it.

Okay.

See, it's a it's a whole experience.

That's like Bucky's.

I've been to Bucky's

I've never been to Bucky's either.

I just tasted the garlic pickle The garlic the pickle garlic.

I'm

a fan of

your fan of Bucky's

Have you tried the garlic pickle?

Not something I don't even like regular pickles.

You don't like it cuz it tastes just like a pickle.

There's no I mean, that's what it is.

There's no shock value to it

There was no shock and there was no shock value to the footage.

Either Dave was so disappointed.

He was like, he couldn't give me anything.

So I gave him a little fake.

And he

was like.

And I was just like, gotcha.

All right.

So I am the only man person here.

You were the only.

That's a misery.

That's a

misery.

Yeah.

Why would I do that?

You probably googled it.

Yeah, I

did.

You see?

There we go.

That's what we do.

Yeah.

That's what we do when we don't know.

All right.

All right.

Curbside Tech, I guess is only me and you, I

guess.

So let's get to these restaurants.

Yeah, please do.

These

five restaurants demonstrate that Wisconsin's food culture gets more stranger than cheese curds and Friday fish fries.

Okay.

Okay.

Here we go.

The safe house in Milwaukee.

Love

it.

The safe house does not display its name prominently at the entrance.

Visitors instead search for a door marked international exports LTD once inside an employee known as the agent money penny.

The agent money penny request the secret password.

Yeah, you have a password.

So

There's the safe house.

Yeah, shout out to

the state

now.

That's one of my favorite spots here now.

Yeah,

I've been there many times

a or Al Johnson's Swedish restaurant in Sister Bay now.

I've never been here Al Johnson's keeps live goats on its roof Now that's a strange Can you imagine

Well, I should ask that.

Okay.

Because not necessarily on the roof, but I had an experience when I was in Jamaica, you know, been to Jamaica a couple of times, right?

And I stayed at one of the resorts, not the resorts.

Okay.

But like, you know,

hotels,

what they call it.

No, no, no, it was like off to its own.

Like,

and so there were

bunch of live animals like in the front like when you come in right but they were corralled in there's a bunch of goats and you know chickens and things of that nature and gold

man

and so you know you know it was it was like an all-inclusive you know personal type resort type thing right okay not one of the hotels no sandals or anything like that more of a cottage kind of thing yeah so yeah there and you know great time you know watching the

Uh, the, uh, transformers blow up and air go out for a while.

Okay, blimp.

Yeah.

All right.

But, you know, coming in and out, I was there for like seven days, right?

And then I didn't pay as much attention until like the final day.

Uh-huh.

Uh, but the goats, the population of them was diminishing before my eyes.

And I didn't know.

You

know what I'm saying?

I'm eating the food.

You didn't eat no jerk goat?

I don't eat spicy, so mine wasn't jerk.

I didn't know that.

I was just like, OK, it was free dinner and lunch and

all

of the things.

You weren't goat, man.

I didn't know that I was eating the goats.

that were there.

I just noticed that by the time it was

time to leave, it was like one go one go left.

And I said, I had to have like, what happened?

And I'm like, what you think you need, man?

Oh, hell no.

So that's my encounter.

That's your

encounter.

Well, at AJ Johnson,

they were good, by the way.

Sorry to say.

So I had him on the roof, but I had him in the front yard.

They got a slopping roof.

And it's covered in grass, allowing the animals to graze above customers during Door County's warmer months.

A

ramp helps the goats

get up

through safely each morning.

OK.

Yeah.

OK.

I'm sorry to the go.

Now,

here's here's one of my favorite spots, Mars Cheese Castle in Kenosha.

Have you seen it?

It's

like a

castle.

Yeah, right?

I

haven't been since it's been remodeled.

Oh, oh, I have.

I have.

It's even nicer.

Yeah,

they put the moat down and yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

It's lovely.

Marsh cheese castles exactly what Wisconsin would build if the state's dairy obsession became a monarchy.

And you know, you've seen the castle and everything.

So

that's a

cool spot.

I love it.

Grateful shed in Wisconsin Dales.

Now, I've never been there.

No.

Grateful shed brings food trucks indoors and suspends a bus above the bar

Yeah, I would think that grateful shed was something like grateful dead dead heads would go to yeah, I think I'm grateful shed Yeah, okay, so

That's

interesting

and the mine shaft in Hartford now I've heard of that, but I've never been the mine shaft is a restaurant that appears to have swallowed

an amusement center.

The sprawling Hartford location contains multiple dining rooms and a mining inspired interior built with heavy timbers and dark passageways and rustic decorations.

Yeah, I haven't been to mine shaft, but I played minecraft.

Does that count?

No.

So there you go.

There

you go.

All right.

places to think of.

Shout out.

I am not alone from our YouTube page.

And great morning.

We love you.

We appreciate you to everybody on our YouTube page.

But they'll max it blow.

They really don't know what boom land is laughing.

Christina Santiago said, going down south every year, boomland was the place to stop.

Oh,

OK.

Well,

I'm glad y'all stopped, because you know what?

OK.

We did not stop.

Sandra Douglas said, I remember when I moved here, I went to Mars Cheese Castle thinking it was a white castle or crystal burgers laughing out
