Message in a bottle September 2009
Moin, moin,
Holidays are over, my vacation can start. Even a hotelier must have some recreation or like Ephraim Kishon appropriately said: If you're looking similar to your passport picture, you should go on holiday. But before, there is lots to do.
In a few days Jens Priewe will come and adorn our Wine & Dine No 22, on the evening of 5 September, with competent and humorous comments. He is one of the most successful journalists of books about wine of Germany and delivers an insight into the winegrowing in Burgundy. At first Jens Priewe was an economic and politic journalist before he dedicated himself to journalism about wine in 1991. His books are bestseller, his columns and essays about the subject wine are followed a lot, as a connoisseur and critic he is in great demand at seminars and congresses. He will presents the guests in the "Birke" six extraordinary wines. Gabriele Schnura from the wine store in Kiel is the co-expert at the "Birke" Wine & Dine events. She shows corresponding German wines. In addition a delicious feinheimisch 6-course menu is served by the team of the Fischers Fritz. You still get some rest tickets under 0049 (0)431-5331-435 (EUR 79.00 per person).
That is also the right number for the registration to our next Slow Food cookery course "Cheese and more". What else you can do with regional cheese and what you can learn about the production and methods interested hobby chefs get to know on 6 September from a professional. The producer of cheese Detlef Möllgaard will present many worth knowing facts about the fine cheese of the "Schleswig-Holsteinischen Käsestraße". Afterwards a desired menu with the particular products will be put together with our kitchen staff under the direction of our new head chef Pierre Binder. You can reserve under: 0049 (0)431-5331-435. (EUR 89.00 per person, inclusive knowledge about ingredients, guidance by our professional kitchen staff, kitchenware, aperitif, non-alcoholic drinks during the cooking, apron and recipes).
Speaking of Pierre Binder. We are really glad that we in the Fischers Fritz could win with him a very creative head chef who brings along relevant experiences of the starred gastronomy. Pierre Binder was born in Salzwedel, grew up in Stendhal, is 37 years old and very much in love with a "Kiel sprat". Before he found is work-related harbour in the "Birke" he worked as second head chef among others in the restaurant "Wirtschaft zum Wiesengrund" (2 Michelin stars) in Zurich and in the restaurant "Wullenwever" (1 Michelin star) alongside top chefs. About himself he says: "I'm a real soupy-kaspar". We are thrilled by his large knowledge and the ardent passion which he displays every minute for the cooking. Even in his free time he is always looking for new ideas. With many more light components he will improve the menu of the Fischers Fritz continuously in the future. Wellness in the kitchen û we are as curious as you are.
My telephone is ringing. The event office of the Hamburg wholesale market calls, it' about arrangements for the Food Market on 5 and 6 September. It will be hold for the fourth time together with DER FEINSCHMECKER and the wholesale market fruit, vegetables and flowers Hamburg. The motto is "From the region for the region" and we are taking part again! In the hall of the wholesale market over 20 young chefs from Hamburg and the surroundings will cook small, creative dishes with products by regional producers. The Fischers Fritz has together with colleagues of the association FEINHEIMISCH a bigger stand this year and will serve feinheimisch delicacies of regional products.
On 25 September is also a food market in the "Birke", our popular Fischers Fritz fish market. From 6:00 p.m. we present a great fish buffet on ice with many kinds of fish from the North and Baltic Sea as well as local lakes. The guest choose their fish and we prepare it according to their wishes. In addition there are regional and seasonal vegetables and potatoes.
And my vacation? Comes. Where it will take me, is not decided yet. In that case I'm holding it like Napoleon: Who knows exactly from the beginning where his way leads, will never brings it far. However, there are many reasons for staying in the country. Here in the north where others go on holidays. You, too? Then come to the "Birke" again. As you know: We are looking forward to welcome you!
Ahoi, ahoi
Your
Christian Birke
