    A Chromatic Feast: The Warm Embrace of Sagra in La Crosse…read more To dine at Sagra in La Crosse, Wisconsin, is to be reminded that genuine culinary warmth can be found far from the traditional epicenters of Italian gastronomy. Guided by an exceptionally attentive and gracious staff, the experience unfolds with a well-paced rhythm that immediately puts the diner at ease. It is an establishment that clearly understands the intersection of great service and great food. The meal begins with a study in subtle elevation: olives presented with a gentle, deliberate warming. It is a small but vital touch that awakens their natural oils and briny depth, setting a welcoming tone for the table. The meatballs follow suit, boasting a robust, comforting heft. They are deeply hearty and undeniably tasty, anchored by a rustic authenticity that demands a proper piece of bread to chase the remaining sauce. However, the quiet star of the evening was a sweet potato dish that essentially stole the stage. It was a vibrant, chromatic triumph--an absolute masterclass in both visual palette and culinary palate. The kitchen managed to coax an astonishing spectrum of colorful flavors from the root vegetable, elevating a humble ingredient into something genuinely amazing. "Life is a combination of magic and pasta." -- Federico Fellini The pasta course, often the crucible by which an Italian kitchen is judged, was a remarkably pleasant affair. While it may not have possessed the sheer, surprising theater of the sweet potatoes, it remained a fundamentally nice, deeply satisfying plate of food that grounded the meal in tradition. Ultimately, Sagra delivers an unequivocally great dining experience. It is a restaurant that balances hearty comfort with vibrant execution, proving that a well-crafted Italian menu in the heart of Wisconsin is a journey well worth taking.

    Met this girl @ Shifty's what was mesmerized by Outlaw Whitey Wayne…read moreand the 78s. 78s is a reference to those old LP-sized early records th't played @ 100 mph, and was always scratchy soundin' She tole me 3 soongs ah needed ta hear to evaluate Whitey & his band: Bad News, If It Ain't Broke, keep usin' it, & Hold her if she tries to step on your pedal steel. Oh, and I'm on Fire, the hook of the tune, but the first line 'a the song closely aped a 50s-60's rocker lyric "Pretty little girl with the hah school sweater, skip that buoy, yew kin do better" with a melody that stole from "Way down yonder in the injun nation. savages rage at the indignation, of havin' to live on the reservation!" It was all ah could do ta keep from cryin' as the beertender called bar time. Friend of mine wrote the perfect closin' to a country & western soong evenin' in the tavern, and sent it to me. I wrote back an tole him it weren't good 'nuf cuz it din't say nothin' bout gittin' drunk, sawin' the bar in half with a chainsaw, or Mama's 2 year stretch in the pen. At that point me'n the girl settled on a soong ta end the evenin' an it goes lak this: Then one day a movie scout Came to town to take her out (Jordanaires: Came to town to take her out) Hollywood could offer more So she left the boy next door who worked at the candy store (Jordanaires: Dream on, dream on teenage queen see you on the movie screen) Very soon she was a star Pretty house and shiny car Swimmin' pool and a fence around But she missed her old home town (Jordanaires: But she missed her old home town) All the world was at her door All except the boy next door who worked at the candy store (Jordanaires: Dream on, dream on teenage queen saddest girl we've ever seen) Then one day the teenage star Sold her house and all her cars Gave up all her wealth and fame Left it all and caught a train (Jordanaires: Left it all and caught a train) Do I have to tell you more She came back to the boy next door who worked at the candy store (Now this story has a moral, you'll hear it all at the candy store) After that, ah realized, we din't tell 'un another r names nohow. You don't have to call me darlin, darling, we never even called one another by name.
