The Rivers Eatery on Discover Wisconsin
The Rivers Eatery was fortunate to be featured in a recent episode of Discover Wisconsin.  Host Emmy Fink and crew visit a variety of pizza restaurants throughout Wisconsin and spend a night in The Rivers Eatery.
 
 
 
It was fun to see how much the crew had learned about pizza as they traveled from place to place.  We learned as much from them as they learned from us.  
 
What makes a great pizza?  We think its a big chemistry experiment.  To make a pizza like ours you need great ingredients, a big stone oven, an old building and a quirky method of dough management.
 
Thats the beauty of pizza.  You simply can't make the same pizza in two different locations. 
 
In our segment, Emmy falls in love with a pizza we call the Spirit Creek.  You can view the full episode at http://kididdel.com/Channels/ChannelView/tabid/66/Default.aspx?rid=4ObwkRk8ZmyJt%2f1Yp31t4g%3d%3d.
 
She even shares a meal with one of our favorite customers and renaissance man Bill B in a special outtake session http://www.discoverwisconsin.com/Destination.aspx?sdid=7615.  Check it out.
 
Thanks to Discover Wisconsin and The WI Dairy Marketing Board for finding us and telling our story.
 
Thank you for choosing The Rivers Eatery during the Birkie and other local events
More than a thousand skiers, their families and supporters chose to dine with us over the Birkie in 2012.  We appreciate your business and your belief in what we are trying to do here.  You've made it a wonderful gathering place and it is a pleasure to serve you.
 
Thank you also to our staff, most of whom are under 20 years of age and have other things they could be doing on weekend days and evenings than scrubbing dishes and stretching dough.  The pace of their work and the responsibility they assumed was  incredible.  At the end of a long week, they left as happy and respectful as they were when their week began.  We are very proud of them and grateful for their commitment to our business and this community.

 

 

Finally, a special thanks to all of the volunteers that make this event possible.   Now is the time to plan your summer races. Local Races.

 

Evidence that Pizza is Great Pre-race and Post Race Fuel*

We noticed one of our favorite people and employees, Carolyn Ocariz was eating an awful lot of pizza Birkie week.  She was even taking pizza home at the end of her work shift to share with husband, Santi.  As it turns out, she was the winner of the Classic 2012 Birkie!  Congratulations Carolyn...we couldn't be happier or prouder!  We also witnessed over 500 skiers consuming stone oven pizza at the Rivers Eatery post-race. 

*This was not a scientific study.  Four years of anectdotal data should not be considered proof that pizza is good for you.  We advise each person eat stone oven pizza at their own pace and monitor the results carefully before drawing conclusions.

A Fat Tire Weekend for the record books!

Wow. What a great event.  Thousands of happy people and hundreds of volunteers and staff made it happen.  Thanks to the Fat Man Gary Crandall and his spporting cast for not only filling the town of Cable but for putting on a world-class event in our back yard.
