Dear :
Das Dunkel ist da - the much anticipated Munich Dunkel from the Franconia brewery is on tap and is getting great reviews.
The "Schwammer'l Sommer Fest" is well on the way - please take a look at the pictures and story below. Other great reasons to come to see us: Our entertainment in the dining room, on Friday Alan and Manfred, and on Saturday Ludwig Kobus with his Accordion. Matt will play the Biergarten on Friday and the "Kleine Blasmusik" will play traditional brass band music on Saturday in the Biergarten, just like in Muenchen
We are adding another step to become only the 3rd restaurant in Texas to be certified by the Green Restaurant Association. Please read more below.
Several of our Team members are planning to attend college out of town soon - if you know someone who would like to join our team, please let them know that we are hiring!
And take a look at the "QUIZ" picture below and tell us where the picture was taken to enter your name to our raffle for a $ 25 Gift Certificate.

SCHWAMMERLZEIT
Authentic Bavarian Food & Bier - in Plano, Texas since 1993                  972 881 0705
LET US CELEBRATE SUMMER:
This year's
MOTTO for the Sommerfest is the mushrooms, called Schwammer'l in Bavaria. Last year  we brought more wild forest mushrooms to North Texas than any year before - and served them while they are fresh and tastes best. This is the favorite time of the year for the lovers of the "Schwammer'l".  And this year's season will last only until the beginning of Oktoberfest on September 20th. So, please come on over soon. Here are some ideas for your next lunch or dinner with us:
Spätzle "Försterin Art" mit frischem Gemüse  

SPAETZLE FOERSTERINOur fresh tiny pasta dump- lings with a chicken breast stuffed with wild mushrooms and bacon in a red wine sauce with fresh summer vegetables 

Very traditional and our new top seller, just like in Bavaria:
Schwammer'l Schnitzel
Schwammerl Schnitzel
Wild Forest mushrooms  in a red wine sauce top this Schnitzel - we recommend the bread dumpling and fresh vegetables to accompany this classic.
Winzer Art
Hühner Salat
 "Winzer Art"  
Another summer favorite:
Oven roasted Chicken tossed with fresh grapes, juicy mandarin oranges, poached pear, crisp Romaine lettuce and our low fat yoghurt ranch dressing.

A great number of our readers recognized the "Markt Platz", the market in the city of Freising and shared their exitement about this historic town with us!

   The Moeller Family
Please read their impressions below:
Congratulations and "Herzlichen Glueckwunsch"
from your Bavarian Grill Team, and therefore:
The picture shown on your website shows the market square in Freising, a suburb of Munich. There is a regular farmers market on the Freising market square where local farmers sell fresh produce.
 
We lived there from 1994-1998 before moving to Plano, TX.
We always loved the beautiful beer gardens and of course the beer from the local brewery in Weihenstephan. It is indeed the oldest brewery of the world.
Our oldest son was born in Freising. So we have a real strong tie back to Bavaria.
 
My family always loves to go back there every year to have a hearty Weisswurstfruehstueck (Weisswurst breakfast) which includes German beer served in a 1 liter Stein, Weisswurst with sweet mustard, and a Pretz'n.
 
Viele Gruesse,
Alexander Moeller and Family

Recycle
Our Goal: Green Certification
 
Many guests have commented positively on the recent TV News story which covered our ongoing organic and single stream recycling efforts.
We are currently taking the next step and are working to eliminate Styrofoam containers, as in TO GO cups and trays. We are replacing those with containers that will organically recycle since they are made with cardboard and corn starch. Thank you for your positive feedback on this initiative so far! Our goal is to be certified as the third "Green Restaurant" in Texas by the end of the year. For more background on our efforts please click on the picture.

  New LOCAL DUNKEL  to accompany your Sommerfest meal!
Prost and welcome to Franconia Brewing's
"Bayerisch Dunkel" - we are glad to offer our guests a new, greener alternative, and since we save on transportation and are not influenced by the Euro versus Dollar exchange rate we pass on the savings to you with Franconian beer brewed in McKinney, Texas at prices like 1999! With a brewing heritage that dates back to the 1800's Franconia claims to be more than just a local brewery, "it is in essence true Bavarian brew." Tell us what you think after you tasted this chocolaty and malty dark brew ....


Franconia Brewing Link
The Name Franconia was chosen for several different reasons.
First off, Franconia translates to Franken in German, a small region with in Germany having the largest number of breweries per population ratio in the world. Franken also being the birth place of our brew master Dennis Wehrmann. A second special reason is to carry on the family brewery name of Franken Braeu being Franconia Brewing.
We like to invite you to experience our authentic Bavarian hospitality! Great Food and wonderful beer make for a relaxed and worry free family time together! Start or continue your family tradition this year at the Bavarian Grill. Sincerely, we wish you a happy week and a "wunderbar" weekend.
Wir wuenschen ein frohes Wochenende!
