Berghoff's Apple Strudel
Friday, Sep 2, 2011
The Strudel has a history older then me and Berghoff Restaurant. In German, the word strudel means “whirpool” or “vortex”. It takes its name from the flaky pastry used to wrap around the filling like a Strudel. Apple Strudel is my favorite Oktoberfest dessert in Munich and Chicago J I do have to admit that the Berghoff’s Apple Strudel may be better than any I’ve ever tasted. They have a secret to keeping theirs moist and delicious, but I don’t want to give away everything at once…check out the Apple Strudel recipe Carlyn posted.
I may be a brat, but I’m just like anyone else, I love a good cooking show (unless it involves bratwursts). While I was away in Germany I missed the Food Network star Duff Goldman and his crew at Berghoff. Apparently they were here in June filming his new show “Sugar High”. While…the Chicago episode premieres tonight, September 2nd from 9:30-10p.m on the Food Network, so set those DVRs! Tonight Duff will learn the secret behind the number one all-time most popular Berghoff dessert; the apple strudel. I will be at be at home tuning in, trying to cool down after my long and hot day out on the town, hopefully enjoying a piece or two of my favorite apple strudel.
Prost!
