The most authentic German food outside of Germany!

We pride ourselves in providing the most authentic German food outside of Germany! German John?s Bakery of Hillsborough (eine deutsche bakerei) heads up the enormous task of food preperation for this event.

Starting on Thursday night about 2 dozen people get together at the local Middle School under the ever watchful eye of Judi Heer of German John'?s Bakery to peel about 450 lbs of potatoes, chop 50 pounds of onions, slice about 400 lemons, peel 5 bushels of apples and chop 30 lbs of pickles & garlic.

On Friday night another 2 dozen people meet at the school to cook what was prepped the night before. Over 400 lbs of sauerkraut is cooked according to the secret German recipe of John Heer of German John?s. Over 550 pounds of potato salad is made. About 3,000 bratwurst & knackwurst are prepped along with about 300 weiners.

About 350 lbs of pork is prepared for the schnitzel. The chefs at local restaurants Tooky Mills Pub & Nonni's Italian Eatery pound the pork in preparation for cooking on Saturday. Both grilled and breaded schnitzel will be available.

In addition to all this are the innumerable hours spent by Judi & John baking the bread & rolls and delicious desserts such as kuchen, apple strudel, schnecken and of course, original German soft pretzels.

FINALLY, the food is ready for about 3,000 guests who line up early on Saturday to have a hearty meal of Schnitzel (breaded or grilled), Bratwurst, Knackwurst, Wieners, Homemade German Potato Salad, Rotkohl & Sauerkraut, Breads and Desserts. Beer & Wine is available so you can raise your steins and say Prost and get up and do the Chicken Dance or listen to the Wunder Kinder Chor perform traditional German music.
