A Johnny Depp Tip Buys a Lot of Cheddar
In addition to his acting chops–having starred in the food-named cult hit What’s Eating Gilbert Grape and the food-themed demi-chick-flick Chocolat–and swashbuckling good looks, Johnny Depp knows how to dine out. While on location in Wisconsin, Depp dropped a few grand on dinner in the city of Appleton, Wis.
Downtown Appleton’s economy got an economic boost from the presence of the movie’s big star.
Johnny Depp stayed at the Copperleaf Hotel for four nights, ate at Flanagan’s Wine Review and Black & Tan, and had a drink at the DejaVu Martini Lounge.
The night at Flanagan’s, on April 16, started at 9 p.m. Depp and nine others had dinner ($300), wines from the reserve list at $300 to $500 per bottle ($2,350) and left a generous tip ($1,500).

Depp, by the way, ordered the flat iron steak, medium well.
That’s the right choice for steak, no doubt, but such a tender cut should never be cooked above medium, in my opinion.

Like a Taco Bell Gordita, Only Grosser
Butch’s Pizza has been around in Appleton, Wis. for several decades. Sounds like a good, traditional, family-style pizzeria.
Butch’s is filled with charm. For example, [owner Ned] Montanye’s community involvement is evidenced by the dozens of youth sports trophies that adorn the walls.

On the menu: I couldn’t decide on just one pie, so I just ordered two. I got a 14-inch Butch’s Special ($15.20) on thin crust, which is topped with sausage, mushrooms, pepperoni, green peppers and onions.
“All the flavors blend together really well,” Montanye. “I like adding bacon to it. That really jazzes it up.”
So far so… great! Awesome! Perfect! But then…
I also ordered a 14-inch Taco Pizza ($18.25), which is made with taco meat, lettuce, tomato, taco sauce on the side and, as a nice touch, crushed Doritos on top.
“Our taco pizza I think is amazing,” said Ned. “It is so filling. There is a lot of stuff on there.”
Speechless. Horrified. More here.
Though I’ve learned the Internet is rife with taco pizza recipes, anyone who craves such crap deserves to eat the Burrito Mexicalian Pizza, which features as its first ingredient “1 box single cheese pizza mix.” Check out Norway’s inexplicably “singing” taco pizza here.
