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

"A historic, family-run, high-capacity chicken house that helped define the town’s culinary identity with its all-you-can-eat, family-style fried chicken dinners. Operated by descendants of William Zehnder Sr. after his 1928 purchase of a former hotel, the restaurant serves lightly breaded, crisp-skinned fried chicken alongside traditional sides such as dressing, mashed potatoes, cranberry relish, cottage cheese and a range of relishes, with noodle soup commonly served with the meal. Servers wear colonial American–style costumes and generations of families return for the predictable, nostalgic experience; the operation is one of the country’s highest-volume independent restaurants with seating for more than 1,000 guests." - Serena Maria Daniels
