Well, they're still there, still doing Game Fest all February. We'll go again if schedules work, but I wanted to make sure I got there right at the beginning because they run out of menu items towards the end of the month.

We just drove home. I have at least two meals of food leftover from my Hunter's Platter. Good, heavy, German food, if you haven't been there already. If you're not a carnivore, don't bother, but if you are, well, this is your chance to eat all kinds of meat you usually have to go to Savenor's to order. (I'm looking at you, [livejournal.com profile] trowa_barton.)

Oh, and the beer's German, and good, too.

(Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] infinitehotel for the original pointer, so many years ago I can't actually remember.)

Mmm Spaten dark...

Don't think I'm going to make it this year, unfortunately.

Thanks for the reminder. Last year was the first in many years that we haven't made it.

The first group dinner there was in 1990, I think. Aside from the February I was living in Germany, I don't think I've missed a year. :)

There's an entire class of dark, heavy Bavarian beers with names ending in "-ator", after the brewer of Paulaner Salvator finally got trademark protection. Maximator, Triumphator, Celebrator, and probably the best of all for that joke: Kulminator.

Sitar, it's called (go go Street View!). It's pretty good, especially by western mass standards.

My colleagues all go to Pintu's in West Springfield a lot-- would you recommend Sitar over them?

I never made it there myself, so I can't really compare them, but I did also hear good things.
