Irma's Kitchen Argyle Wisconsin
Irma's kitchen is literally just that - the first floor of Irma's home in Argyle, Wisconsin, with Irma herself often in the kitchen. Only breakfast and lunch are served, and breakfast is the focus. Early in the morning local farmers grab a cup of coffee after milking their cows, later in the morning an older crowd arrives for a leisurely breakfast. All of the food is made in Irma's kitchen, and the attention and service is personal. This is where people gather and chat, share stories, and catch up with each other.
The breakfast specials are the 1-1-2 and the 1-2-3: one pancake, one egg, two strips of bacon or one pancake, two eggs, three strips of bacon. There are other dishes on the menu, but the best part of a breakfast at Irma's are the pies. Homemade sometimes using locally available only fresh fruits.
No one will hurry you along at Irma's, there is time enough for everything at Irma's. This is a slice of living in a time and place where time was spent lingering over coffee with family and friends. I always feel like I've just come home when I go into Irma's.
