Die Kartoffel
It stands for "The Potato" that's where we had supper tonight. It was entirely fabulous. They bring you your steak on a hot stone and you cook it yourself. It comes with three different flavors of sauce you can dip the meat in. The potato comes literally covered in a sour cream and herb blanket. And the salad was the best one we've been served since we've been here. We were served very quickly (as opposed to the hour and a half we waited on our schnitzel!) I really loved the experience from start to finish.

The menu:


Here is the meat on the stone. If you like your meat rare you'd have to eat it really fast. I suppose that's why they give you dipping sauces, because your steak is most likely to be cooked through by the time you finish.


This is the room where we ate. The couple next to us had their big dog laying under the table and the waitress even brought the dog water in a bowl. Apparently it's common to bring your dog along for dinner. You can sit in that restaurant and probably pick out fifty things you could never do in the United States.


This is the basement. K. says that's where you want to eat in the summer because it's so much cooler.


Finally, the view of the restaurant from the outside. It's just so amazing to see places like this that are so traditionally German and are completely authentic. Around the corner we should have taken a picture of their competition, "The Onion."
