A Taste Of Madison

We have an annual two-day event here where a couple hundred restaurant owners set up stands around the Capitol Square and sell samples of what they make in their shops. I decided to go for a short time to see if I could get shots other than those of people shoving food in their mouths. There were loud, horrible bands playing so I could only stand it for about an hour.

I'd buy whatever the lady in the first photo is pointing to.  :<)

Nice photos.

The 4th photo, at the bottom of the thread, is powerful and really says a lot. Good capture with enormous documentary value. Thanks for sharing.

I love Madison.  Thanks for sharing, Brent.

Brilliant collection, the 4th shot, examples of which you see everywhere on the street, makes me sad and mad in equal measure.

A terrific series. 

It's interesting how frequently in our country that loudness is considered the norm.  It's also interesting that in Zagat surveys the number one complaint restaurant goers have is that restaurants are too loud.  Years ago, in the 20th of Paris we went to an early dinner, and the restaurant was quiet, which embarrassed the owner - He brought over his reservations book to show us how busy they normally are.  Then there's Norway where all the restaurants are quiet, and one can hold quiet conversations.
