Quote:The Berlin will focus on "modern European" food, including German, Austrian, Polish and Hungarian fare — think spaetzle, perogies, dumplings and steaks — cooked over a wood-fired hearth, [Gushue] said...
The menu at The Berlin will make a nod to Waterloo Region's Germanic heritage, although it will be ever-changing and have a broad range of influences, including Japanese cooking techniques.
"The area has a lot of central European roots. That's great food that really very few people explore," Gushue said. "It speaks to this region, and the kind of food we both love. The food is not showy, it's approachable, and it's very straightforward."
About bloody time (he says fondly remembering The Ratskeller et al restaurants.)
