Chef's Corner 43 North By Kelsey Sorenson Hear the words "American cuisine" and you'll likely think of the usual classics—say burgers and fries—before an artful bistro dish. But at 43 North, a sleek eatery where the emphasis falls more on creative cuisine, a contemporary approach to American fa- vorites is de rigueur. Owned by Shinji Muramoto of Restau- rant Muramoto fame and named after the latitude which houses both 43 North and his hometown of Sapporo, Japan, unique but approachable dishes, such as salmon with a plum gastrique or the game hen and mustard caramel sauce pictured here, showcase how Executive Chef Nicholas Johnson thinks modern American cuisine should be defined. Take in a weekday dinner or stop in for the popular three-course meals, either way you'll find the modern bistro mixes fresh, locally found produce with a healthy dash of imagination for a dining experi- ence your taste buds won't forget. 43 North is located on 108 King St., Madison; (608) 255-4343 or 43north.biz.
