Created for the purpose of promoting food and our love of it, the MBA Food & Wine Club welcomes and celebrates all flavors. Whether you want to explore the local food offerings, to learn what wines to serve at your next business event, or to just learn new recipes and cooking tricks, join us! Cheese curd connoisseurs and strict vegetarians alike will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the role food plays in our lives.

The MBA Food & Wine Club is open to anyone and everyone who is interested in the world of food and drink. Through a series of events with social, educational, local, and philanthropic goals, we will learn more about food, drink, and each other.

Coffee and light breakfast items will be served.

The Consortium Club is sponsoring the last tailgate of the season this Saturday, Nov. 14th. It’s the big Wisconsin vs. Michigan game, so we want everyone to come out and celebrate!

In an effort to embrace diversity, we’re asking MBA students to bring a dish that represents who they are (culture, ethnicity, personality, etc.). Don’t worry, we’ll still have the usual burgers and brats, but the “Around the World Tailgate” will be a tasty way to celebrate our differences. If you plan to bring a dish, please contact Samy Affo (affo@wisc.edu) ASAP with your dish idea.

If you have any questions about this event or the Consortium Club in general, please contact Kari Caesar (caesar@wisc.edu) or Stephanie Mack (samack@wisc.edu). Thank you!

Go Badgers!
