"Hofbrauhaus: Don't Forget to Eat As Well! Germans, especially Bavarians (who are or are not Germans, depending on whom you talk to) love eating their meat and potatoes. While there, I went for a giant joint of pork with kartoffel (potato) salad. Nobody does fresh potato salad better. Sure, the famous Hofbrauhaus in Munich is a great place to sit with friends and try to avoid spraining your wrist as you suck down liter glasses of beer, but it's also a great place to eat. Filling up helps you enjoy the beer even more and fights off the eventual intoxication as well."

"At the Hofbräuhaus on the Eastside I found a cowboy platter for $20 that includes a jalapeño-cheddar brat, Debreziner sausage, and smoked pork loin served with imported sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, and horseradish mustard, as well as a $20 cowboy burger (quarter-pound all-beef with barbecue sauce, topped with homemade coleslaw and served with seasoned potato wedges); the beer hall also shows all NFR events on the big screens." - Susan Stapleton
