Description: <div>The Wisconsin supper club is something so unique to its region of the U.S. that someone really needed to make a movie about it. Holly De Ruyter has done just that with her documentary, &quot;Old Fashioned.&quot; She tells Shauna Sever about the history of this Badger State institution, the importance of the bar, and what you&#039;ll find on a relish tray.</div>

My parents grew up in Port Washington, Wisconsin and their friend runs a supper club type fish restaurant called Newport Shores.  Sadly one of my favorite ones from my childhood called the Villager in Sheboygan Falls closed a couple years ago.  I'll never forget how they used to bring all the deserts out on a big tray and their would be like 10 pies or cakes to choose from.
