Frankenmuth Is Michigan’s Bavarian Christmas Town All Year Long | Eater
"A late-19th-century hotel established by the Fischer family in 1888 that is credited with originating the concept of the all-you-can-eat fried chicken menu that became central to the town’s dining scene. Its restaurant legacy set the stage for the later expansion of family-style chicken houses; the property was taken over by the Zehnder family in 1950, cementing its role in the area's culinary history." - Serena Maria Daniels
