MY AMUSE

294 9th Street, San Francisco, 94103

Today, at work of all places, I found myself in a conversation with Wort Up Brewery http://www.wortup.com/ about Schnitzelhaus, and I found myself craving schnitzel (even after three consecutive bbqs this past weekend).  There are not a lot of recommendable foodie pit stops between SoMa and the Mission, so please stop here and receive dinner and even a little entertainment for free!  The rowdy crowds, the theme-park style music, the animated owner–tip: he is even more animated if you can manage to bust out the native tongue!, the glass boots (not mugs) full of beer…there are several factors of success for this bustling diner, but it is better to experience it yourself than have me finish this list.  Now, a little more on the beer in this joint.  There is nothing wrong with drinking beer out of a shoe, as long as that beer is Franziskaner!  Now, I have two good German friends who have personally vouched for this beer!  So, three Germans in a row cannot possibly be wrong, can they?  Folks, I am not even passionate about beer like the rest of you, but I will put Franziskaner second only to Wort Up http://www.wortup.com/.  And now you’ve learned how to spell Schnitzel to boot! (thanks for laughing at the pun).
