Thursday Madness - April 30th

A little research turns up that April 30th is a day for the nutcases. First of all, it was on this date that arguably the greatest madman in history, Adolf Hitler, offed himself. 1945. Holed up in his bunker and he said "No mas", or something to that effect. I find the Wiki entry on this interesting. To wit:

"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.

Friday Night Specials

Couple of nice specials on Friday, April 3.
Spoiler Alert! Continued reading will lead to half priced specials.

The Seafood special is Sauteed Grouper Florentine with Crabmeat Hollandaise ($26.00). We are also offering a Filet Mignon Special. It's a Boursin Cheese stuffed Filet Mignon with your choice of Sauce - Peppercorn, Bearnaise, or Bordelaise. Small Filet (6oz. - $26.00) and Large Filet (9oz - $32.00).

Here's the really special part. If you are reading this blog you get any of the above for half price! So, the Grouper with Crabmeat Hollandaise is only $13, the Small Filet also $13 and the Large Filet only $16. And that's only for you blog readers.

So you see, there's a reason I keep suggesting you bookmark this blog. For specials like this. So to take advantage, and so we know you're reading the blog, just print out this post and bring it with you tomorrow night (FRIDAY) and you get the special price.

Note: To print just the post, put your cursor thingie over the title to this post (Friday Night Specials) and click. That will bring only this post to your screen. Otherwise, if you, in a panic rush of excitement, quickly hit print without highlighting this post, you might print out the entire blog contents. And that's a waste of paper and ink, although it's plenty fine reading. So print the darn thing out, call The Phoenix at 513-721-8901 to make a reservation, and for gosh sakes haul yourself to the corner of Ninth and Race tomorrow night for these great half priced specials.
