Soooooooooooo I'm heading for the Badger Knife Show in Janesville Wisconsin on Friday with a buddy staying over till Sunday

I've been to this show many times but never paid a lotta attention to the city of Janesville itself. I'm curious about fun, adventurous places there and great places to eat. These are the kinda trips where what happens there stays there so don't be shy. We thought about looking up Speaker of the House Paul Ryan who my friend knows (somehow but I dunno know how) but he might be a tad too busy to join us for dinner.

Suggestions please. I'm heading there Friday morning first thing in my new Ridgeline.................... First road trip for it.

Thanks

Have fun

I'm headed there too, and have been there the last several years, but haven't ate at any thing more exotic than Red Robin. Stop by my table and say hi!
 
All right then.................... I'll say hello to you and Karl Cody. Meanwhile I'll do some searching on Yelp and see if anything more exotic then Red Robin turns up. They have a decent menu but I have one down the road about 3 miles down Harlem from where I live in Oak Park.

I'll be at the show Fri & Sat (I live in Janesville)

I recommend staying away from chains and try some local joints. I recommend:

O'riely & Connway's pub - great irish pub food (Paul Ryan and Mike Pence had lunch there 2 weeks ago)
Matts Deli Dog House - Chicago style deli dogs & Italian beef
Park City Diner - great little mom & pop diner....excellent breakfasts
Hacienda Real - best Mexican food in town
Jims Pizza - excellent local pizza joint
 
I usually hit the Taco Bell on the way home...... good thing I'm going solo.

I THINK there is a Famous Dave's BBQ, but not quite sure.
