I grew up in Chicago but it dawned on me the other day that after almost ten years in Wisconsin I am getting a bit too comfortable in these frozen climes.\n\nI'm practically married to a local girl, I have a ton of favorite Wisconsin institutions, and I'm pretty well established at a job for a Milwaukee company.  None of these things concerned me though.  What really left me wondering if I need to make a run for the border was when I was sitting eating custard at Michael's in Madison and thinking that I could easily make a list of five places off the top of my head with better custard.\n\nHow scary is that?  A custard connoisseur.  I disgust myself.\n\nBUT I DIGRESS.\n\nMichael's is not very good.  The burgers, while being billed as \"BIG\", are hardly that.  The buns are certainly huge.  The burgers are standard size.  The fries are weak and not very good.  The service, as someone else said, are bored and apathetic high-school kids.  And it isn't cheap.\n\nI've had a ton of good casual dining experiences in Madison but we won't be back to Michaels.
