After a week the “German” food was repetitive. The “non-local” food was pretty unique as it was still tempered to German tastes and available food stock.
I definitely was looking for menus that had German items that were new to me but it wasn’t that easy by the end of the 2nd week.
The German food in the US doesn’t get close to the German restaurant experience though. The old buildings, the efficiency in getting you in, the abrupt “time to leave” even if you’re not done. Buying a keg of beer for the table.












i liked it and thought reddit was pretty harsh towards it.
