Right. There is still demand for German food. The old Helga and Hans style needs to be refreshed.

Right. I'm not considering some glorified hot dog as German Food just as an FYI.

Salsa 17 in Arlington Heights is also good although that's considered Mexican food.

In Milwaukee, Karl Ratzsch's closed after a change of ownership and a horrible attempt to de-Germanize the lunch menu. Mader's is catering to tour groups, the last time I was there was about four years ago and it was atrocious.

I have friends and family who are gaga over Bavarian Lodge. I think it's ok, but the schntizel is even more blah than it's supposed to be. I'll go once or twice a winter for some soup, some red cabbage (which is excellent) and to socialize over a couple of beers. Sunday right when they open is a good quiet time.

Soups are liver dumpling or goulash. For potatoes, you got your spatzle, german fried, dumpling, potato salad, pancakes, garlic roasted mashed. Weiner Schnitzel, Jager Schnitzel, Natur Schnitzel, Allgauer Schnitzel, Rahmschnitzel, Schweizer Schnitzel, Rheine River Schnitzel, Zieguener Schnitzel, Schnitzel Cordon Bleu, Hunter Schnizel, Wurst Schnitzel, Schnitzel a la Holstein, Schnitzel Florentine. And they have the Knackwurst, Thuringer, Veal Brats, Beer Brats, Kassler Rippchen, Rouladen, Schweinekotelette, Bayrische Schweinshaxen and the Kalb Leber Berliner style.

Bohemian Crystal in Westmont is top notch. It's pretty close to German food.

Great place except for that one waiter that's a real dickstick.

It's now called Mirabella and run by a guy who worked at Gene & Georgetti. I think they're suing him for taking their intellectual property, i.e. concept, recipes, etc.

That's hilarious. What's their concept? Overpriced steaks and martinis?

I'll second Spaulding. Food at the Chicago Brauhaus as awful. They had the same annoying asshole playing an according every fucking time we went there. Bad.

Maribell was a good restaurant. They had one of the best goulash soup recipes I have ever tasted.

I had my wedding rehearsal party there. The owner told my dad that bachelor parties they hosted drank less than us. It was the same night as the Irish Fest at the Irish Heritage Center that is a few blocks away and several friends came by as an after hours. I was there until the early hours of the morning and woke up severely hung over. I would not recommend that to any of you future bridegrooms out there. Get drunk at the wedding instead.

I'll have to check that place out. Last place we did for German food was Himmels. Wasn't impressed at all. The fried chicken was way over cooked.
