"It's dawn...a fine mist covers the French countryside," Snoopy narrates as he strides towards his dog house and prepares to embark on another hunt for the Red Baron in his legendary biplane, a Sopwith Camel.
"Switch off" yells the mechanic, no doubt a Woodstock. "Coupez," the World War I Flying Ace replies. "Contact," Snoopy translates, "Contact it is!" Snoopy then roars to simulate the Sopwith Camel's engine., before observing "Moments later, I am flying low over the Moselle," a tributary of the Rhine in the Lorraine region.
Although it's impossible to top Charles Schulz's aerial dogfights of fancy between Charlie Brown's lovable companion Snoopy and the Red Baron, Dog Haus Biergarten, one of College Park, Maryland's newest restaurants and hangouts, tucked in the new, architecturally-pleasing municipal building, does its best, serving hot dogs and brats with memorable names such as Reservoir Hog (technically, a Polish kielbasa with Haus chili, Haus slaw, and yellow mustard), the Fonz (a spicy Italian sausage with pastrami and mozzarella), and the Chili Idol (a hot dog with Haus chili, cheddar cheese sauce, and onions).
For our first visit, my wife and I enjoyed 1 Reservoir Hog, 1 Das Brat, 2 Chili Idols, and two orders of Tots (one with chili, the other with chili and cheese sauce); and we are almost as excited to return as Snoopy's World War I Flying Ace was to be served free root beer by Marcie after one of his iconic escapades.
