Our Story
"Welcome to the Scuttlebutt. I'm Essay, the sole developer behind Muddle & Fry — and this one's personal."
Muddle & Fry is a digital celebration of Midwest Supper Club and Dive Bar culture. Born from a genuine passion for Wisconsin's one-of-a-kind "Midwest Nice" atmosphere, the app acts as your digital passport to the best Fish Frys, brandy Old Fashioneds, and squeaky cheese curds the state has to offer.
There's no algorithm deciding which bar deserves your attention. No influencer partnerships or sponsored pins. Just a hand-curated trail of real places, built by someone who believes that the best nights happen on a sticky barstool with a good drink and even better company.
"This project exists because these places matter. The supper clubs, the dive bars, the Friday night regulars — they're the fabric of this state, and they deserve to be celebrated."
Muddle & Fry is owned and operated by SMCS Investments Inc., based in East Troy, Wisconsin. The app is built for iOS and Android, with a deep respect for the culture it represents.
Built with the warmth and authenticity of the culture it celebrates.
Every venue is verified. No sponsored content, no filler.
Built for Regulars, by someone who's one of them.
We don't sell your data. Simple as that.
