ST. GERMAIN – Keep family traditions alive. You might say that’s one reason Jack and Nancy Koch have opened the Hodgepodge Lodge on Highway 70 west in downtown St. Germain.
“We want to be known for fantastic food and stellar service, and as a casual supper club with a friendly hometown atmosphere,” said Nancy Koch.
The Kochs bought the vacated property from Eliason Realty, which did extensive renovations. The restaurant opened in early December to rave reviews by supper club fans.
Previously, the couple owned Jack’s Sport Marine, Nancy’s Red Hots & Hot Brats and most recently
Cape Dog and Deli in Cape Coral, Fla. Nancy’s parents are the Reids, original owners of Spang’s Pub/Restaurant in St. Germain.
