STRAUSSIs ARE BACK
Sure it is tasty, but when the fresh spargeln (asparagus) is in at the market, the elbows start flying as little old ladies fight for the next spot in line. For a bruise-free asparagus extravaganza, head to the straussis. That’s right! straussies are back for their spring appearance – and they are once again featuring some excellent local produce.
Located in Germany, straussis are actually working farms that open their doors as a restaurant for several weeks each year, usually in spring and fall. The food is regional, seasonal, delicious and cheap.
We like this one: http://www.fuenfschilling.de/ which opens April 19 (although rumor has it that it is going to convert to a restaurant full time so head over there quickly before it turns)
