National Meat Month at Schroeder's 

We're half way through National Meat Month and I'm willing to bet you haven't had your fill of steak yet. San Francisco’s oldest German restaurant, Schroeder's is bringing Bavarian passion to the table with a menu that spotlights meat. From the classic Kraut burger loaded with house-made sauerkraut to the best brauts in town to Beef tongue served Carpaccio style with asparagus, capers, radish, and crème fraiche and don't forget the pork belly served with English peas, turnip and horseradish, you won't walk away hungry. Don't forget to round out your meal with Der wiener schnitzel: veal breaded and crisped to perfection with celery root, fava beans, and meyer lemon. 240 Front Street. Make a reservation here.
