"On March 24, German restaurant Gaumenkitzel in Berkeley will close its doors for good. Oaklandside reports the mom-and-pop restaurant, which is run by husband and wife Kai Flache and Anja Voth, opened its doors in January 2011 and quickly became a popular destination for German ex-pats. In a note announcing the news on the restaurant's website, the owners cite staffing difficulties as one reason behind the decision to close." - Lauren Saria
"Chef-owner Anja Voth’s mostly organic, health-conscious, “slow food” approach to German cuisine has earned Gaumenkitzel a devoted following in Berkeley. Crowd favorites include the buttery spätzle and excellent crispy pork schnitzel." - Dianne de Guzman, Luke Tsai
