The menu in the window said goose at Wallse fancy restaurant on 11st and that triggered a sense memory which I mentioned to my son and our twin compulsive natures drove us to Heidelberg restaurant(closed Monday) and then chinatown (where one peking duck chef warned to beware of counterfeit geese ..Those restaurants who had advertised Xmas or new years geese removed them today from their menus. Said Corey ,"The only goose is in your old hood". And so we did the now cool L train (under which I was raised at theWilson stop which had changed its name from Hamburg after WW1 broke out, but given the drop in President Wilson stock, it could change again).
Like Triangle Hoffbrau and Gebhards Restaurant(both gone), Zum has the Old School Germanic Umpah vibe and on Monday night they were packed. Waiting to serve us was the elegant and warm toasty veteran Nerina. On the plates assorted salats like cuke and beet and slaw...and red cabbage and spaetzle and..............GOOOOSE. Our Goose was cooked... in a crisp and meaty slightly gamey memorable way. For more goose jokes create your own...we are too happy to josh.
