Although it boasts more than 100 years of history, the Madison Club is anything but old-fashioned, thanks to its talented chefs. Daniel Fox and Jason Veal bring a passion for locavore practices and handcrafted artisanal products to this historical venue. You can get a taste of the duo's Wisconsin-focused cuisine at tomorrow night's Beard House dinner. Check out the menu below and click here to reserve your seat.
