Food Scene
Where to eat.
Mother Jüttes Inn. Best german food, period. A little difficult to get to but oh so worth it. And not even expensive. Historic restaurant that goes back to the 19th century. Very rustic, opposite of fancy, but the food! Game dishes! And missing asparagus season there is a serious crime.
