By Alex Yant | Mar. 1, 2011Run by three UW-Madison students, local online ordering service BadgerBites.com has seen unprecedented traffic in the wake of demonstrations at the Capitol over the past two weeks. Started in February 2010, the company allows users to order from 60 different Madison restaurants through the site without paying service charges.
