Dear friend of the Bavarian Grill:
Thank you for your votes in the BEST GERMAN RESTAURANT IN AMERICA competition. Your Bavarian Grill has won the popular vote, but now there are a few more steps: Do you know that you can be a judge? This will enhance our chances to hopefully bring the honor to Plano, Texas!
And there is another great reason to come to see us soon: "Schwammer'l Fest" - please take a look at the pictures and story below.
Our entertainment in the dining room: on Friday and Saturday Jim Rommel with his Accordion and sing along. Matt will play on Thursday in the restaurant and on Friday in the Biergarten. The "Matt and Mat Duo" will play on Saturday in the Biergarten; all are great reasons to come to see us!

LET US CELEBRATE SUMMER:
SCHWAMMERLZEIT

This year's MOTTO for the Sommerfest is the mushrooms, called Schwammer'l in Bavaria. Last year  we brought more wild forest mushrooms to North Texas than any year before - and served them while they are fresh and tastes best. This is the favorite time of the year for the lovers of the "Schwammer'l".  And this year's season will last only until the beginning of Schnitzelfest in 14 days. So, please come on over soon. Here are some ideas for your next lunch or dinner with us:

 
   Schwammerl mit Semmelknoedel 
 
A Classic summer favorite: 
 
Our mushroom ragout with a bread dumpling.

Schwammel und Semmelknoedel 2
 
Spaetzle nach "Foersterin Art" mit Wildschweinbratwurst  
 
Wildschweinwurst
 
Pasta dumpiings topped with wild mush- room raagout and grilled sliced wild boar sausage.
 

Very traditional and our new top seller, just like in Bavaria:
Schwammer'l Schnitzel
 
Schwammerl Schnitzel
Wild Forest mushrooms  in a creamy white wine sauce top this Schnitzel - we recommend the bread dumpling and fresh vegetables to accompany this classic.

PLEASE BUY YOUR TICKET AT THE BAR UNTIL THIS SATURDAY AS WE NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY GUEST WE WILL FEED! THE LAST SPANFERKEL DINNERS WERE A GREAT SUCCESS AND WE DO NOT WANT TO RUN OUT ON THIS DELICACY!

Our special August meeting featured a guest appearance of Julie, our new Spaten ambassador. She came with Korbinian, the Spaten brewmaster who orchestrates the tapping of the keg with the Lord Mayor of Munich to open the Oktiberfest. He shared many interesting stories of the history and we enjoyed samples of the Spaten Helles., sponsored by Andreas. Thank you all for a GREAT EVENING! This was truly another signature Stein Club event.
 
Regular Stein Club meetings are scheduled on the second Wednesday night of every even month.

Hello,  I found your restaurant website online while looking for good German Food,  your food was excellent I returned to the website tonight and found your quiz. 
 
I lived in Germany for 17 years a a member of the United States Army and have fished the Danube, the first time I saw Regensburg was in 1983 Charles Fall and I had left West Berlin (the walled city behind the Iron Curtain) on a hunting trip outside of Regensburg and stayed in the town of Sinzing across the street from the bahnhoff there.   Charles  looks like Ed Bruce the CW singer and wore the big Stetsun hat and I wore a Silverbelly Resitol,  it was June and they had a great fest there in town, being the early 80's Dallas was big in Europe and we were a hit in our cowboy hats and jeans in the evenings after hunting.  I had just began speaking German and Charles spoke little yet we danced with all the ladies and the men all took pictures wearing our hats.  The hunting trip was a success all around and Charles will never forget it nor will I.  It was my 2nd hunting trip I went on in Germany which lead to my long career in Germany  We toured Regensburg and saw the Dom there and walked along the river by the Steinere Brucke, Charles left Berlin in 1985 and I ended up doing four more assignments in Germany.   Ive returned to Texas following retirement from the Army and still have my leather German Hunting Knickers (Lederhosen) as well I hunt with the traditional German Drilling a three barrelled hunting weapon with two shotgun barrels and a rifle barrell. 
 
Before I ended my time in Europe I ended up in three different Schutzenveriens, two Hegerings, two Jadgtvereins and several different Stammstisches and even on the Friewillige Feurwehre in Niederossbach, WesterWald. 
 
Yes I miss Germany which is why I enjoyed your restraunt so well.
 
Looking forward to returning to your restaurant again,  it's almost like having a Radeler in Bavaria, just wished the hunters Stammtisch was there as well.

  St. Andrea's Kristallweizen added to our selection of LOCAL draft beers
Prost and welcome to Franconia Brewing's newest summer special release, the light and fruity Kristall named after our famous Biertender manager: Andrea
- we are glad to offer our guests a new, greener alternative, and since we save on transportation and are not influenced by the Euro versus Dollar exchange rate we pass on the savings to you  with Franconian beer brewed in McKinney, Texas at prices like 1999! With a brewing heritage that dates back to the 1800's Franconia claims to be more than just a local brewery, "it is in essence true Bavarian brew."
Tell us what you think after you tasted the ....
 
 
Franconia St. Andrea's Kristallweizen
1/3l = $ 3.50, 1/
2l = $ 4.75
Original Bavarian Style  brewed exclusively for the enjoyment of the guests of the Bavarian Grill following the German Purity Law. Light Golden Color. Fresh, smooth, very lightly hoped, with a nicely balanced malt sweetness, filtered for more clarity - the only Kristall Weizen on draught in North Texas
and the
Franconia Weizen 1/3l = $ 3.50, 1/2l = $ 4.75
Bavarian Style Wheat Beer. This beer is very popular in particular in southern Germany. Using an original German yeast strain in the brewing process contributes to the natural fruity flavor of Banana, Orange and Cloves, giving it a outstanding refreshing taste. Of course this Wheat Beer comes unfiltered leaving all the natural goodness in it.

 
Franconia Brewing Link
 
The Name Franconia was chosen for several different reasons.
First off, Franconia translates to Franken in German, a small region with in Germany having the largest number of breweries per population ratio in the world. Franken also being the birth place of our brew master Dennis Wehrmann. A second special reason is to carry on the family brewery name of Franken Braeu being Franconia Brewing.

These are the next final Steps - You can be the judge:
Final vote BGRiA
Please click on the image to see the judging form

In her email Inga, from
German Deli.com, the host of the vote, writes:

"The Voting ended but . . .
Okay, the official online voting for 2009 is over.  Well done, Bavarian Grill Team supporters!

But wait! There's more.

Now the real work begins. 
1.    We are now compiling the results from the many forms received from our "undercover judges".  If you've looked at the judging form, you'll see that we are getting feedback on cleanliness, value, choices, food prep, service, and more.
2.    We will review the health department inspection reports for the restaurants leading this competition. 
Note: Your Bavarian Grill has scored an "A" with the City of
Plano Health Department for many years!

3.     My own special team of experts will secretly visit leading restaurants "incognito" for one more look.
4.    We'll classify leading restaurants into large, medium, and small based on seating capacity.
October 1, 2009.  We'll announce the winning restaurants for 2009.  In addition to winners by size, we will also announce a "best of" by state, assuming there are enough authentic German restaurants to justify the title for any given state.  Would you believe some states only have one German restaurant?
 
The directory is up and running.  We want our list to be the best, most comprehensive list of German Restaurants in the USA.  I'm getting lots of compliments from people who now use our directory to find German restaurants when they travel outside their comfort zone."

I asked Inga if she thinks it would be fair for me to invite you to be a judge.
Here is her answer:


"Thanks for making my life a little easier.  I appreciate the link to the food inspection site.  : )

I don't think there's anything wrong with you suggesting to your customers that they join the network of "Undercover Judges"  who are providing great feedback about German restaurants all over the country.  Unlike the once-a-day online voting, "Undercover Judges" can provide feedback on every  dining experiences at each and every German Restaurant they visit, even if they are traveling.  I've already received lots of completed forms for your restaurant.  I've found the Undercover Judges to be thoughtful , precise, and very detailed about what they like (or don't like).  In your newsletter suggest that they consider being an Undercover Judge whenever they dine at any German restaurant.  Gradually this effort will pay off by raising the standards for dining out....German style.
This project has been one of the most enjoyable things I've ever done.  I have all sorts of great ideas for next year!!
Alles Gute (best wishes)!
Inga"
