Fairchild

Where to Eat in Madison, Wisconsin

"In every good food city, you’ll probably find a business story similar to Fairchild’s — talented chefs opening restaurants in late 2019 or early 2020, getting the rug pulled out from under them, and having to scramble to redefine their identities. What you don’t often find are wildly talented chefs who turn that struggle into a James Beard award within three years. The chef-owner team of Andrew Kroeger and Itaru Nagano have combined white tablecloth service and plating with neighborhood bistro comfort and humor, all laid over skillful technique and creativity. And man, the pastas." - Kyle Nabilcy
