German Food Receives High Praises

German food gets a bad wrap – there's more to eat here than kraut and wurst. The German people I have met are interested in food and cooking, eating well and healthfully, and support organic and local produce and products. Further diminishing this myth is the current boom in Teutonic cuisine.

Yesterday's New York Times reported that Germany is second only to France in the number of Michelin-starred restaurants, with nine three-star establishments. This fact has infuriated the Italians who only have five. And though I am more of a no-star restaurant diner, I was interested to learn that one Germany's 15 two-star restaurants, Steinheuer Heppingen, is located just outside Bonn.
