Them Schnitzengrüben Will Wipe You Out!
Dragonet and I had already decided to have our anniversary dinner at the new Austrian restaurant in the Freighthouse District, Grünauer. Holy Anschlüß, what a place!
They have an excellent variety of local (i.e., Boulevard) and imported beers, including Boulevard's Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale on tap (normally only available in the champagne bottle as part of their Smokestack Series), which I ordered immediately. Amazingly good beer. Highest recommendation, if you live in the 10 state where it is available.
We started with liptauer cheese & Pâté with thin rye toast points. Incredibly good. Dragonet had the classic Wiener Schnitzel, which came in two pieces, each roughly the size of a Buick, and a trio of side salads (tomato, potato and cucumber) She pronounced them all wonderful, and the single bite of schnitzel she gave me was wonderful: juicy, tasty, with a just right breading.
Grünauer offers six different sausages,and you can get one, two or the sampler, with one of each. Guess what I went for*. Käsekrainer (pork with cheddar cheese), Berliner (German curry wurst), Nürenberger (veal sausage), Frankfurter (traditional), Bratwurst (veal and pork) and Chorizo (spicy pork). All of them were incredible, as were the pomme frites I substituted for the mashed potatoes and cabbage side. Both of us have lunch for tomorrow.
The service was attentive without being overwhelming, and when I asked our waiter what a particular song playing in the background was, he quickly got me the information. Overall, it was a great evening, and I recommend Grünauer quite highly.
Afterwards, we went to the Plaza and checked out the Pr0n. The Apple Store, you preverts.
So, 32 years down. And into the future we go, together.
*Paul Burns's protestations notwithstanding, I do not actually shop in that mall (windowshop, maybe, sometimes, but . . .)
