Try It All in the Fox Cities!
We are so proud of the dining scene in the Fox Cities, and often crave a bit of everything. It’s usually difficult to choose just one entree, appetizer or even dessert.
Fun food flights make it easy!
The concept, smaller portions of food in different flavors, allows guests to try different options during one sit down. Frequently seen at breweries, flights used to be reserved for beer, wine or other cocktails, but the following restaurants are serving up unique pint-sized food options.
From breakfast and hearty soup to Indian favorites and a sweet treat to wrap it up, try these fun flights for a bit of this and a bit of that.
Pancake and Bacon Flights at Oakley’s, De Pere
Evan Luedtke, Head Chef
What type of food flights do you offer? We offer a house made bacon flight, and a mini pancake flight that showcases all of our specialty pancakes and our pancake of the month.
How do the above flights work? The flights offer the ability to taste each of our specialty pancakes and house made bacons. If you have already had it before you can always customize it with your server to give you the pancake or bacon flavors that are your favorites.
Why offer a flight option? We decided to offer the flight options because they are a fun way for people to get a taste of each flavor and they are something not a lot of other restaurants are doing.
I think the guests appreciate the flights for the ability to try more than one thing at a time and because they are just plain fun and beautiful to look at.
Fun fact: On Fridays we do offer a Benedict Flight as well.

Gelato Flights at Parm, Oshkosh
Andy Saray, Owner
What type of food flights do you offer? Gelato Flights
How do the above flights work? We have a rotating gelato menu, so we have our guests pick 4 flavors they want to try. Favorite flavors include: Biscoff Cookie Butter, Armena Cherry, Espresso, Mint Chip, Cookies & Cream,Vanilla, Chocolate Cheesecake, Strawberry and Cookie Dough.
We have a rotating list of 6 at the restaurant. There is no rhyme or reason to why we have the flavors and truly like to mix it up as much as possible.
Why offer a flight option? We wanted to offer a fun dessert for our guests that can really be year round. They’re smaller portions (approximately 4-5 ounces) so you don’t have to feel so guilty for it. Especially when you have 3 others in your party it’s fun for everyone to try a little bit of everything.
Fun fact: We also offer catering in our mobile gelato trailer for any event or gathering!
