OLD HEIDELBERG – German
Fort Lauderdale's long-running German dining room off State Road 84, where the draft beer is imported and the plates land heavy. Schnitzels are pounded, breaded and pan-fried to order - Wiener with mashed potatoes and red cabbage, Jaeger under mushrooms and gravy, Zigeuner with bell peppers, Bavarian with baked mushroom sauce and grilled Swiss - and most come with spaetzle alongside. Elsewhere: sauerbraten marinated in burgundy, Bavarian lamb shank, paprika-heavy goulash soup, potato pancakes with apple sauce, a sausage sampler of bratwurst, knockwurst and kielbasa over sauerkraut. Come hungry. Plan nothing strenuous afterwards.
