Tramin, our culinary grail

This is Oliver writing. Again. What? Merely 5 months later, after my last post on Dubai, I regained temporary control over d:d and thought I’d take the opportunity to share a few impressions from our last photo shoot at our favorite restaurant in Munich – and while I’m at it, thank you Uli for introducing us to Tramin, roughly 2 years ago.

Cosmogrill - The Ueberburger

Oliver — Sat, 07 Jul 2007 22:05:23 +0000

Having lived in and around Atlanta for more than four years must have spoiled me in terms of enjoying the art of BBQs, house boat happenings (mostly at lake Lanier) and laid back pool and backyard parties that would start around noon and last until late hours. Not to say that Germans can’t have a decent BBQ or BYOB happening, for sure they can, but it’s different and usually doesn’t include good burgers.

A special Bavarian treat - Rahmfleckerl

Oliver — Sun, 13 May 2007 22:10:39 +0000

Just in case you need another good reason to visit Munich, have I ever mentioned the plethora of different markets and annual fairs which are all very typical for Bavaria? Of course there is the notorious and world-famous Wies’n, individual “Kirwa” (annual church fairs), Christmas markets next to another famous Munich institution, the Auer Dult. They all have one important thing in common, ~~they’re overpriced~~, a breathtaking abundance of traditional delicacies which are hard to resist. Stall after stall offering all kinds of Bratwürschtl’n (Bratwurst), Dampfnudeln (similar: sweet yeast dumplings) or Steckerlfisch (fish on a stick), but to top things off, there is one item, I’m especially fond of: ever heard of a crispy Rahmfleck or Rahmfleckerl? In case you haven’t, you most positively have been missing out on a very special savory treat!

The Oktoberfest OR Munich's fifth season

Nicky — Sat, 16 Sep 2006 21:36:04 +0000

“O’zapft is!” might have been today’s most anticipated term for every Munich-ian, as it rings in our town’s most loved season: It’s Oktoberfest time again. At 12 o’clock AM mayor Christian Ude taps the first keg with these famous Bavarian words, accentuated by loud cannon shots and heavy applause. So for the next 18 days we’ll be happily feeding the stereotype that Bavarians run around in leather pants and Dirndl at all times ;) Actually, you’ll see them everywhere not just at the Oktoberfest, you can even find locals going to work in full armor! Probably just for convenience – saving an extra hour (for changing clothes) and heading straight from work to the Wiesn.
