Here's a slice of small-town America served
next to a heaping plate of an unusual meat. Since the 1920s, the
American Legion Post in Delafield, Wisconsin has hosted a
raccoon dinner to support its youth sports programs. Even as the
World War II vets who run it get older and the town itself
becomes a suburb of Milwaukee, the spirit of the old Delafield—
a place where you hunted for your supper, the town barber was
the center of all the activity, and Al Capone was an occasional
visitor— lives on in the stories of the folks preparing the 82nd
Annual Coon Feed... and in the hearty welcome they give old
friends and strangers alike. Plus a special guest appearance by
a celebrity chef who tells us his own story about cooking
Delafield coon. |
