First!

My very first post.

The reason I am starting this blog is to share some of my adventures in dining here in Germany. I have to say that some places have been wonderful while others have left me disgusted.

This is not to say that I am picky, but I would like it that a restaurant actually cooks it's own food. It seems that the amount of restaurants here that buy finished food is on the rise. I know personally four restaurants that have the exact same schnitzel and bratwurst. These are simple dishes that do not need to be made in advance, frozen, thawed, and finally cooked. The bratwurst does need a bit of prep, but not enough to justify buying it bulk from a butcher, or worse, a gastronomy warehouse.

I am planning on making a critique sheet so that all the restaurants have the same criteria and not just ramblings from the top of my head.

So, if there is anyone out there reading this.... Stay tuned.
