Orik Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I always knew something was funny about that "twice-cooked pork" my local Chinese place was serving. What's a "Mexican sounding" name? I was going ask that and then ask how it sounds different from a Nicaraguan sounding name. https://www.facebook.com/KurzSpanelstinyOnline/videos/978743798885029/?pnref=story Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Really Nice! Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Went to see Caberet last night and got dinner at The Burghoff beforehand. I had the pork shank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Suzanne F Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Would the family that started it use sous vide? For that matter, would they have included gluten-free plates (I assume that's what that symbol that looks like wheat is about)? I think I always used to get schnitzel whenever I ate there. And their own beer. But I've only been once since they sold it years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I don't think I've even been there since they sold it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LiquidNY Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 But as we all know thanks to Grub Street, a German restaurant's only as good as its burger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Really Nice! Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 My understanding is the family still owns it. Carlyn Berghoff is the granddaughter of the original owner and I believe she is still running it. Yes, the wheat symbol means gluten free. The other symbol means the dish is in their cookbook. I had a couple of glasses of their pale ale with it. ETA They did close down in 2007 and the family reopened it a few months later. It was a bit weird, like they woke up from a hangover and said, we did what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Suzanne F Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Ah. I thought they'd sold. Anyway, it's one place I always go when I'm in Chicago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Rezept: On Wednesday, take one shank out of freezer. Make sure vacuum packaging is not broken. Throw in bath. On Saturday, ladle spatzle from steamer on plate. Snip bag using excellent german made scissors, let "natural jus" flow onto spatzle first, then slide shank out.
