WASHBURN, Wis. (AP) - A thief who broke into a northern Wisconsin restaurant apparently has refined culinary tastes. The co-owner of DaLou's Bistro said someone broke into her Washburn restaurant Tuesday and stole several bottles of wine, a large Italian ricotta cheesecake and a bag of arugula. Lois Stensvad said she found the thefts "bizarre." She said her waitress joked that the thief was probably stocking up for a nice dinner party.

Stensvad said the robber may have just taken what was immediately available. She said most of the meat and wine were locked up in the basement, but the stolen items were more accessible.

She estimates the losses, including damage to the doors, come to several hundred dollars.
