  1. Backroad Bonus: Le Duc’s in Wales, WI

    May 17, 2012 by admin

    The back roads are filled with hidden treasures and delights.  Many of our unexpected adventures spring from finds we have chanced upon when we’ve chosen to skip the interstate.

    US Highway 18 wends and winds from downtown Milwaukee right through Madison.  We often take this meandering route home after a trip to Milwaukee.  One great find along the way- Le Duc’s in Wales.

    Le Duc’s (http://www.leducscustard.com) is an old-time custard and snack shop.  They have a small building with an extensive menu.  We can only imagine that local young folk congregate there every Friday and Saturday night.  We stopped on a quiet Saturday afternoon and were delighted to find delicious custards and uber-thick shakes.

    Keep in mind that it is a popular spot with a very small public space.  This means that in inclement weather, you may end up in your car while enjoying your treats.  They do have a limited amount of outdoor picnic tables.  Restrooms are in the back, past the kitchen.

    We immediately and unanimously declared Le Duc’s a hit!

    Our guest who was travelling with us that day called us when she got home to get the name and address of our stop to share with her parents!

    You’ll never find Le Duc’s if you stick to the Interstate.
