Hitting newsstands June 3, you won’t want to miss this edition of Madison Magazine. The Deliciouser’s Patrick O’Halloran is the 2026 Chef of the Year!
The Deliciouser is a modern spice shop and restaurant featuring seasonal dinner menus that celebrate local producers and handcrafted spice blends. The open kitchen allows guests to enjoy their meal while getting a behind-the-scenes look at the cooking process. What started in 2020 as a small-batch, chef-curated spice business grew into a restaurant, bar, and retail space located in a former Greyhound Bus Depot within The Main Street Industries building in downtown Madison, Wisconsin.
With more than 30 years into his career, including his work at Madison’s Lombardino’s and The Old Fashioned, O’Halloran propels himself and his team through curiosity. His inspiration? Histories, techniques, and traditions from cuisines all over the world.
