A Taste of Home

Our neighbors invited us to Chili D's for burgers.  They likened the food to Five Guys - only better.  Although the term hamburger derives from Hamburg, Germany's second largest city, the hamburger meat here tastes different here then in the States.  Few speciality shops build their menu around this popular sandwich and the ground meat contains much less fat.

Morgan and Ben organized this outing because the restaurant owner promised to serve a boar he had caught hunting the previously week.  Laws and the FDA prohibit American cafe owners from hunting and killing the meat they serve their patrons.  But when in Frankfurt....

The British owner spent seven years in the States and wanted to create a bar that served authentic American bar food.

We had the place to ourselves and the owner created a special boar appetizer for us.  The boar and the spaetzle tasted incredible.  I even loved the special green cabbage like vegetable.

The burger exceeded expectations.  Dave took a bite before I could get a picture.

We toasted to new friends and to being out at 10:00 on a week night.
