About the Owner and Managers:

In December 1993, David Ellsworth opened The Summit Restaurant and Cocktails after working for his family’s business for more than 20 years. He became owner of the former Packing House following the death of his uncle, Keith Wiken. Before reopening the restaurant, Ellsworth completed a 2,000 square foot addition which included a Friday fish fry drive-up window that has become very popular over the past 25 years. Ellsworth has also established his restaurant as one of Racine’s top fine dining establishments. Executive Chef Rosalba Hernandez started working at the restaurant 23 years ago as a dishwasher, working up to the top post 12 years ago. She credits cooking from scratch and the use of fresh ingredients for the restaurant’s outstanding menu, which she updates three or four times a year. Recently joining the team as general manager is Hernandez’s “foodie friend” Matt Nedweski. The Kenosha native brings his extensive restaurant management and event planning experience. With the renewed popularity of Wisconsin supper clubs, Nedweski wants to reach out to those wanting to discover or become re-acquainted with the classic dining experience. “Expect fresh ingredients, a quality menu and an approachable staff that cares,” he said.

What is one thing that police officers, firefighters, miners, postal delivery workers, food service workers and the military all have in common? Well, they all relied on a Racine firm to provide them with water-resistant rain gear for their respective professions.

This month Margo Drummond features Peter D. Thomas as our Racinian to Remember.

She begins by writing: 

In 1886, the Wisconsin State Democratic Convention was held in Union Grove. At that gathering a 39-year-old former slave named Peter D. Thomas was nominated to serve as Racine County Coroner. Due to spelling errors on several ballots cast for Thomas the election hung in doubt. A recount determined that the votes in question had indeed been cast for Thomas, making him the first African-American county officer ever elected in the state of Wisconsin.
