Church & Market, 701 56th St, is Downtown Kenosha’s newest and swankiest bar and events spacefeaturing modern, upscale decor highlighted by casual service that makes it approachable andcomfortable for anyone from any walk of life.

PB&J Beignets – Fresh beignets served with peanut butter sauce and raspberry coulis.

Once you’ve entered the doors at Church & Market, you’ll never want to leave.

The Kavalauskas family of the original Spanky’s as well as Tavern on 6th have once againdemonstrated that they are some of the best in the local hospitality game with their newestproject.

Named after the historic street names of 7th Avenue and 56th Street, Church & Market hasbreathed new life into the property that once housed Pazzo, Chicken & Donuts, and TheDowntown’r.

The massive interior restoration has brought the building back to its historic beauty and charmwhile adding modern flair that feels somehow both classy and comfortable at the same time.

While the space is more gathering and events space than restaurant, the Kavalauskas familyhas recruited some of the best culinary professionals in the area who have put together acreative daily menu as well as unique and tasty event offerings.

The team is led by Kenosha kitchen royalty, Eusevio (Chevo) Villegas.

If you don’t know his name, you likely know his food. He has been part of the leadership team atsome of the best restaurants in the city for the last 10 years and has earned countless industryaccolades while capturing the hearts and respect of restaurant pros all around the city.

While there are plenty of creative and savory offerings on the new Church & Market menu, oneof the absolute “must haves” is on the sweeter side.

The PB&J beignets are… magnificent.

I ordered this dish without really asking any questions or thoroughly reading the description andthought I’d be getting some sort of doughnut structure filled with peanut butter and jelly…something run of the mill.

What actually came out of the kitchen was the best surprise I could have gotten.

The beignets are classic, fresh fried sweet dough covered in powdered sugar and served withsauces to replicate the sweet/savory experience of a classic PB & J when dipped.

The beignets are served warm with a crispy edge and soft center that would make them a greatdessert all on their own but when combined with the thinned and dippable peanut butter sauceand fresh made raspberry coulis (a sweet, smooth puree) this dessert is elevated to somethingworth a trip all on it’s own.

The PB&J Beignets are available daily for a very reasonable $9

Church & Market is currently open for dine-in and carry-out seven days a week. Their website isstill under construction but the current menu and daily information can be found on theirFacebook Page.
