August Story Finds - A German Restaurant in Carthage?








We took a double take. It didn't look real.
Joel and I were on NC Hwy. 15/501 south of Sanford, near Carthage, when we passed a German restaurant. Yes, German.
We stopped - and will go back.
It's a little pricy, but where can you go to get authentic German food? Beer steins line a wall, Bavarian clocks are scattered throughout and the waitresses wear traditional dress.

After our experience there, I passed along the tip to Bob Garner, food reporter for UNC-TV. He taped a segment there on August 19 for playback sometime soon. He "pigged" out on the barbecued pig knuckle. It's huge. For more information about the restaurant, call (910)947-5508.

Oh, I don't speak German. My mother, whose father was German, said I needed to learn it - a family thing, you know. Well, after 4 years of French and 4 years of Spanish I just couldn't get the swing of German. So, I dropped the class after 2 weeks and my mom never has forgiven me!
