Tonight I went out for German food. NO, that's not a mistake. I went to a little German restaurant - billed as "Chinatown's Finest Currywurst" - over on Pender. The fact that there is a German restaurant anywhere outside of Germany always surprises me because, well, it not like people usually crave German food, right? I mean, it's eas to see why Italian/Chinese/Thai/etc. food spread around the planet. And it's equally easy to imagine why there aren't tons of German restaurants. You know...sausages, potatoes, sauerkraut, they aren't the types of things people pine for.
But Bestie was absolutely fantastic. I actually went for the cider but found out on arrival that it wasn't ready yet. I considered leaving and coming back when the cider was ready but instead decided to give Bestie a whirl before heading over to the Yule Duel. I'm certainly glad I did.
Everything from the mustard to wurst, the fries to the pickles was delicious. A lot of restaurants are good, but they don't surprise you. Bestie was great and completely surprised me. In fact, I can't wait to go back. I can actually imagine, for the first time in my life thinking, "Hmmm, I could go for some German food right about now."
Oh, and the service was great too.
