A few weeks ago after an Illini Game, we got together with some friends and headed to a nearby town to an authentic German Restaurant, Bayern Stube. We've heard about this place for some time now and finally decided to try it out.
About half of our group have been before some only only once and some repeatedly.
Not only is the food authentic German, but once you walk in the door, you feel like you've stepped into another country. This place was all decked out...Wall-to-Wall, even the bathroom signs were German.
Of course, beer steins everywhere. And being German, they serve ale's by the pint. No stinkin' bottle for them. ;)
Having a selective palet, I chose to be a little safe and ordered the Rahmschnitzel, Tender sautéed cutlets of pork topped with a creamy white wine and fresh mushroom sauce,for sides, I chose German fries, Spätzle. What is Spätzle, you ask? German Egg Noodles....what more could a girl ask for?!?
Here's our gang. As you can see, we're pretty orange. It was a great day...an Illini win AND great food & fellowship! We did try the desserts as well. Adam & I shared the German Chocolate Cake..YUM, but I'm told the Strudel, Lemon Cake, are wonderful as well. A great group event!
