Going Global at glowbal grill & satay bar
Have a Guten Tag With Hearty German Fare at glowbal March 8 - 14
Vancouver, BC: Delight in winter’s end with a rib-sticking meal of German comfort food when glowbal grill & satay bar heads to Central Europe this month. “Southern B.C. and Germany actually share the same circle of latitude, so we have a similar climate. It makes sense that traditional German dishes are perfect for shaking off a late-winter chill,” says John Crook, Executive Sous Chef. Diners can start with a warming Organic Lentil Soup or a Truffled Hasenpfeffer Stew, then move on to mains that include Veal Schnitzel, Choucroute Garnie or a hearty platter for two of delicious meats and cheeses. Complemented by beer and wine pairings and with a sweet finish of Classic Blackforest Cake, it’s a meal that will leave glowbal guests feeling perfectly prepared to handle these last days of winter.
