Timer's Beverage Center - Racine, WI
Coming to America from Hungary in 1897, Joseph Timer found a new home in Racine, Wisconsin. Serving his new country in World War I, Joe returned to Racine, and in 1926 opened a small store.
Despite being in the midst of Prohibition, Joe found a demand for selling hops, malt and barley, for home brewers. Also, church wine and medicinal alcohol could be sold to those who held proper permits. On occasion a few barrels of beer would arrive from Chicago. Canada was a source for whiskey, and four or five cases would arrive periodically to help satisfy the illicit thirst for liquor.
As time progressed, a tiny store on a busy corner led way to a new store built in 1955, and a new generation of the Timer family came on board. The business continued to grow and in 1995 a new 12,000 square foot facility was built on the edge of Racine's west side.
Today the business remains family owned, with Ed Fahnrich Jr., a great grand son of Joe Timer, along with Shawn Voss co-owner. Both being responsible for daily operations.

Built into the side of a bluff in the secluded wooded community adjacent to Door Bluff Headlands County Park, this mid-century modern gem was designed by Wisconsin Architectural Hall of Fame Green pioneers Willis and Lillian Leenhouts. Wraparound decks are on both levels of this totally rehabbed home. The high end teak kitchen boasts fossilized Ontario limestone countertops, stainless steel SubZero refrigerator, 6 burner WOLF range, Viking hood, Miele dishwasher, and separate SubZero beverage cooler. The baths feature German porcelain Duravit sinks and commodes. There's over 400' of Lake Michigan frontage with new 120' steel and concrete pier with 60' dogleg and 60' extension with extra wide dredging built before the state-wide moratorium. Moorings for 4 boats are possible. The buildable adjacent parcel and teak furniture designed for the original home are included in the offering.

Sister Bay - (My Fav, Goats on the Roof, Good Food, Wine Tasting)
Bailey’s Harbor - (Quaint cool little town, Coyote Roadhouse – Good Eats)
Rawleys Bay - (The only resort we stay at. We love it. Great pricing, Indoor Pool, the BEST bakery, Rustic looking. Rooms are basic, but do the job and are comfortable. Reserve Lakeside Only for the view !)
Gill’s Rock - (The size of a postage stamp. Neat place to stop for 30 minutes on way to
Northpoint. They do offer ferry rides there to but prefer Northpoint. A few tiny shops that Denise likes and some a neat view. Hell every town has awesome views !) Northpoint - (Snake Road which is the famous pictured road, Washington Island Ferry, Even if you don’t take ferry, it’s a cool place to visit to just explore.)
Washington Island - (We haven’t been here in a few years. We used to go all the time. It’s very neat. You have a choice to bring your car or just ride the ferry over and rent a moped.) They have shops and tons of exploring. You can go for 4 hours or literally get lost for 8 to 10 hours. Your choice. They have an awesome look out tower that is awesome. It’s a lot of steps, so be prepared. Of course they have some good restaurants but again, its been a few years since we’ve been there. We plan on going this year.)

SUMMARY
=======
American cuisine reflects the history of the United States, blending the culinary contributions of various groups of people from around the world, including indigenous American Indians, African Americans, Asians, Europeans, Pacific Islanders, and South Americans. Early Native Americans utilized a number of cooking methods in early American Cuisine that have been blended with early European cooking methods to form the basis of American cuisine. The European settlement of the Americas yielded the introduction of a number of various ingredients, spices, herbs, and cooking styles to the latter. The various styles continued expanding well into the 19th and 20th centuries, proportional to the influx of immigrants from many different nations; this influx nurtured a rich diversity in food preparation throughout the country.
When the colonists came to the colonies, they farmed animals for clothing and meat in a similar fashion to what they had done in Europe. They had cuisine similar to their previous Dutch and British cuisines. The American colonial diet varied depending on the settled region in which someone lived. Commonly hunted game included deer, bear, buffalo, and wild turkey. A number of fats and oils made from animals served to cook much of the colonial foods. Prior to the Revolution, New Englanders consumed large quantities of rum and beer, as maritime trade provided them relatively easy access to the goods needed to produce these items: rum was the distilled spirit of choice, as the main ingredient, molasses, was readily available from trade with the West Indies. In comparison to the northern colonies, the southern colonies were quite diverse in their agricultural diet.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, Americans developed many new foods. During the Progressive Era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, c. 1890s–1920s, food production and presentation became more industrialized. One characteristic of American cooking is the fusion of multiple ethnic or regional approaches into completely new cooking styles. A wave of celebrity chefs began with Julia Child and Graham Kerr in the 1970s, with many more following after the rise of cable channels, such as the Food Network and Cooking Channel, in the late 20th century.
