"He expressed his intent to kill himself and later asked physician Werner Haase to recommend a reliable method of suicide. Haase suggested combining a dose of cyanide with a gunshot to the head."
Hmmm, one would think that the latter part of the "method" would render the first part superfluous. But I digress. April 30th is also the date of the Rodney King verdict. And we all remember the little disturbance created by that. Let's just say it wasn't the best day to run out of gas at the corner of Florence and Normandy. Some definite madness on the Left Coast that afternoon and evening.
But there's more. Yes, on this date, Monica Seles, then ranked number one in women's tennis, was stabbed in the back during a match. The perpetrator was an East German fan of Seles' combatant that day, Steffi Graf. I'm sensing a German theme here, no? And yes, the attack occurred in Hamburg. As in Germany.
OK, enough with all this frivolity. We need a German Food and Wine Special on April 30th. So with typical Teutonic efficiency we've got a simple, yet tasty offering for Thursday night.
Wienershcnitzel!
Lightly breaded Veal Cutlets, pan cooked and topped with Lemon. A Lemon Caper Sauce is optional. Accompanied by Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage. This entree is served with your choice of Small House Salad or Small Caesar Salad to start and it's only $12.99.
And what's a good plate of Wienerschnitzel without a nice German Riesling to go with it. We'll be offering the Saint M Riesling for only $5 a bottle to anybody ordering the special entree (Limit 1 bottle per couple). Sorry, no can do on the Preferred Discount for either the entree or the wine. That would be madness!
So come on in to The Phoenix on Thursday night and enjoy a little German flavor accompanied by some well adjusted hospitality. Reservations at 513-721-8901.
