This September, it has been 100 years that Joe Hussli brought the pepper seeds with him, when he came over to the new world from Hungary. He settled in Beaver Dam , Wisconsin, and started cultivating the pepper that must have meant so much to him. If you were to pack two bags only and move to the other part of the world - what would you pack!?

Joe passed the seeds to neighbors and friends and the pepper became known as the Beaver Dam...

Joe passed the seeds to neighbors and friends and the pepper became known as the Beaver Dam Pepper. Unfortunately today, when you meet someone from Beaver Dam, chances are they have never heard about it, because most farmers abandoned the pepper's cultivation as hybrid varieties became widely available. The new peppers did not require trellises and were much easier to grow, so over time, the Beaver Dam Pepper was forgotten.

To change that, we started pickling the Beaver Dam Pepper last year and we have been very happy about the great success our pepper has had. It's just too tasty not to fall in love with the warm, flavorful heat.

From 11am-3pm on September 29, the will be an in-store demo and samplings of the pepper, which we sell in the store.

From the 28th-30th we will be featuring an exclusive pasta dish called: "gamberi e linguini con banane pepe in salamoia" which is tiger shrimp, beaver dam pickled banana peppers, oil cured black olives, leeks, goat cheese and olive oil over linguini for only $9.25

Other participants in the Milwaukee area include: Braise, Groppi's, Hinterland Eerie Street Gastropub, Roots, and The Rumpus Room so be sure to try out the specials at those great locations, too!
