Frankenmuth Is Michigan’s Bavarian Christmas Town All Year Long | Eater

"An iconic, high-capacity fried-chicken restaurant that offers the same all-you-care-to-eat, family-style chicken dinners—lightly breaded, crisp-skinned pieces accompanied by dressing, mashed potatoes, cranberry relish, cottage cheese and assorted relishes—served in a distinctly German/Bavarian atmosphere. Servers are costumed in traditional Bavarian dress, the dining is communal and nostalgic, and the restaurant sits across the street from its long-running counterpart; together the two establishments rank among the nation’s highest-volume independent restaurants, each seating over 1,000 and drawing repeat visitors year after year." - Serena Maria Daniels
