Chef's Corner The Free House Pub By Camille Albert The Free House Pub is all about simple plea- sures. Located in the heart of Middleton, this new eatery offers easy all-American favorites with a local twist. Owner Tim Thompson raises the stakes on traditional dishes by adding local flair to familiar favorites—even a standard burger or turkey sandwich taste new when load- ed with locally produced toppings while hearty healthy dishes like the avocado salad (pictured) are executed to perfection. From the fare on the table to the atmo- sphere indoors and out, Thompson is fo- cused on creating a space where customers can kick back, take it all in, and leave with a full stomach and a smile. "Either people are going to leave here happy or we haven't done our jobs right," he says. By adding weekly live music, seasonal cocktails and a beer menu that promises to keep you on your toes, this suburban haunt promises big-city dining with local charm. The Free House Pub is located at 1902 Parmenter St., Middleton; (608) 831-5000 or freehousepub.com.
