Eichenkrantz. Just as the name suggests. #100.




OK - while we are a bit behind on the foodie blog, better start now and catch up later. Tonight Heather, Kent & Sara ventured to Eichenkrantz for good, authentic German food. For German food. On our way in, we passed four people on their way out and that was the last person we saw in the restaurant (besides our very cool server who filled us in on all the goods, bads, and histories of the restaurant). Its 75 year old owner (apparently cantankerous - he passed through - hard to tell), bought the restaurant 20 years ago. He's not German. Doesn't like German food. Still figuring that out. But, it will be open as long as he's with us!




Kent was most adventurous with the pork chop. Sara and Heather split (shocking!) a dumpling and a shrimp with angel hair pasta, mushrooms and tomatoes. Sara took the plunge and ordered the red cabbage (served hot. odd.) which was delicious with the dumpling. Food was fine. Atmosphere was empty and kitschy. The strudel was pretty good after the meal (what would be a German meal without strudel!).





Not the best item on the list, but not the worst. Now, would it make our top 100, that is the question!
