Last week we visited Wisconsin Built in Deerfield

:

They too were generous with a factory tour and a material donation. The owner Jeff Ball started the business in his garage and it has grown into a major operation. Wisconsin built makes all of the interior fixtures for Noodles and Company and Chipotle nationwide. They make furniture and cabinetry for Starbucks, BW-3, Cosi, St Mary's Sprint, Au Bon Pain, Burger King, etc. The list is long. Check the website

We were taken with the level of craftsmanship and handwork that goes into the interiors that were barely notice (or appreciate.) Next time you are about to eat a burrito bowl or get down on some pesto cavatappi check out the bench, or tabletop. Its beautiful.

Here's some of what we saw.
