Take 2

So I haven't been the best about updating this blog as regularly as I liked. The good thing is I can restart this whenever I like. So here is take 2. Now is a great time as it's restaurant week in Kansas City. While it started on Friday, tonight was the first time I was able to actually participate since I was out of town. So I decided to try Grunauer. This is an Austrian/German restaurant located in the Freight District downtown. I had never been here before but had heard tons of great things. Now is a perfect time to try it out. Here is what was on the menu:

First course was an Obatzda - a camembert and paprika spread on fresh rye with chives - this was really good. The amount of the spread was more than I would have normally put on the rye but was still very good.

Second course was the seasonal potato soup - it was very smooth and creamy. I needed some bread to make sure there wasn't a drop left in the bowl.

Third course was a traditional schnitzel - it was a pork tenderloin breaded along with a potato cucumber salad. The pork was cooked to perfection and the potato salad was light and refreshing. I also got to try the Prokholt or goulash. It was delicious as well.

The fourth and final course was an apple strudel - it was topped with homemade cream.

Overall this was a great meal and I will be going back to try some of the other things on their menu. I'm not sure why it took me so long to try this out. Here's their website to learn more about them. www.grunauerkc.com
