Everything at BFF is made from scratch with quality, organic ingredients. Our meat is never frozen and only from 100 grass fed beef. We are gaining a reputation for having the best burgers in town. German auto workers are the highest paid on earth, and they get beer with lunch while assembling products renowned for their reliability. Located in rustic Monument, Colorado BFF serves fine espresso drinks, house baked goods, soups, salads, panini, and savory entree items. Not a lot of stuff you haven’t heard of, but Henk’s holds one of the rare TABC licenses that allows for on-site consumption and take-away sales. Why, why, why in a state as German as Texas do we eat so much horrid mayonnaise-y potato salad? Henk’s version caused minor domestic strife over the last bite.Īnd of course there’s beer. Conversely, the mustardy potato salad was a standout.

The expected accompaniment of sauerkraut was the scooped-from-the-distributor’s-bucket variety. You can also have applesauce if that’s your thing or applesauce and horseradish if you’re me. All dishes come with hot mustard and horseradish, both of which were delightful on the potato pancakes. Stereotypical American German food isn’t known for spice, but Henk’s doesn’t shy away. I can deal with coarser fillings, but if you live with someone who thinks a lot about how sausage is made (literally, not figuratively) this is a welcome refinement. Both of these featured extremely finely ground fillings.

We stuck to sausage on this trip, trying the spicy kasewurst and the spicier Hungarian brat full of hot paprika. Dallas has many purveyors of delicious, if quotidian, German fare, and Henk’s is solid. In fact, my editor is cringing at my use of “elevated” as you read this. I’d like it back.īut not every cuisine has to be elevated all the time. Like British food, there was a renaissance in German cooking in the late 1990s-2000s, and we used to have some of what resulted from it in Dallas. Philip Kingston I can’t be the only one missing the excellent Hofstetter’s Spargel Cafe on Lovers Lane.
