Discover Wisconsin picks David W. Heiney's Dining & Spirits
David W. Heiney's Dining & Spirits in Black Earth has been selected as Discover Wisconsin Radio's Restaurant Pick of the Month for March 2008. The award is based on outstanding food, service and atmosphere. This is the first time a Black Earth restaurant has earned the honor.

Heiney's was featured on a March 3 Discover Wisconsin Radio program, which aired on 50 affiliated stations throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Thunder Bay, Ontario. The show can be heard on line at www.discoverwisconsin.com.

David W. Heiney's is owned by Scott and Maxine Patchin, who purchased the restaurant in August of 1994. "We're very proud that the restaurant is looked upon as a wonderful dining option by visitors and locals," Scott Patchin said. "We try to create a good working family environment for our employees, and in turn, they provide excellent care to our customers."

The historic restaurant was at one time a turn-of-the-century meat market. Today David W. Heiney's has a full service cocktail lounge, and three unique dining areas. The restaurant features traditional American cuisine with high quality steaks and seafood, though Patchin puts a Louisiana-style touch to many of his traditional dishes.

"I spent six years as a chef and manager of a couple different themed restaurants in Houston, Texas in the early 1980's, and I really got turned on to the Creole/Cajun culture and some of the cooking methods down there."

Stephanie Klett, host of the Discover Wisconsin television and radio series, visited Black Earth to present the Patchin's their plaque.

"We are just thrilled by the award," said Maxine Patchin. "We had no idea we were being checked out for it, and it's just so nice to be recognized in such a positive way."

In order to be considered a restaurant pick of the month, the Discover Wisconsin team must dine at the establishment a minimum of three times. at each visit the restaurant must pass the test: high quality food, excellent service and a unique atmosphere. The restaurant has no idea that crewmembers are checking it out for an award.

Aside from the plaque and radio feature, Heiney's will be featured throughout 2008 onvwww.discoverwisconsin.com.
"Our restaurant pick of the month program is one of our most popular segments on the radio series," Klett said. "People log on to our website from all over the country to find great restaurants in the area they'll be visiting. Black Earth should be proud of this fantastic restaurant."

David W. Heiney's is located at 1221 Mills Street in Black Earth. It serves dinner only, Tuesday through Saturday.
