If you find yourself on the square at lunch time, don’t overlook the unassuming triangle shaped storefront at the top of State Street where State/Carroll and Mifflin Streets all intersect. This unassuming little “hole in the wall” is some of the best food I’ve had.
What is it? Why it’s Myles Teddy Wedgers Cornish Pasty located at 101 State Street.
What’s a pasty? First it’s pronounced “pass-tee” and certainly is not to be confused with something that might adorn certain stripper body parts. It’s a traditional Cornish meal made to be eaten while on the move. Sort of the Cornish version of a burritto I’d think. In the traditional form it’s a pastry “turnover” stuffed with meat, potatoes and onions. Myles puts a different spin on this traditional fare with offerings of a “Big Cheesy” with mozzarella cheese, ground beef and pizza sauce. The Veggie Wedgie for those wanting a meatless option and a Chicken Pie filled with chicken, peas, corn, carrots, cheese and a white cream sauce.
The Super Pizza is an awesome lunch on the go and my current favorite. 1/2 a Teddywedger is more than enough for even the biggest appetite. I always save room for dessert of an M&M Cookie. They are made fresh daily and are worth the trip in to the store just for a cookie.
I’ve tried some of the other pasties as well. The traditional is very good. The crust is flaky and light and the fillings are robust.
Top this all off is the friendly staff and you’ve got a really great, inexpensive dining experience.
One of my favorite Madison traditions, is the WI Chamber Orchestra’s “Concerts on the Square”. This annual tradition typically begins the last Wednesday evening of June and runs every Wednesday through the month of July.
Tonight’s concert is “Rachmaninov Rhapsody” and if the weather allows the concert to go on, proves to be a great start to the season.
Each month, the central district publishes an online newsletter. I like it because it will have a refresher on some part of the law and an update on any and all crime issues in the district during the proceeding month.
Did you know that there’s a federal program that lwill allow aw enforcement officers, teachers and firefighters/emergency medical technicians and who meet all other requirements of the program are eligible to purchase an available home at 50% off of the current list price?
It’s call the “Good Neighbor Next Door” program and is being offered by the US Housing and Urban Development agency.
