    • 1992 March 13, Jody Stern, “Restaurant Tours: joie de Germans?”, in Chicago Reader[1]:
      My sauerbraten ($10.95) was a disaster, thin slices of beef drowned in a lake of gravy, and way too sauer, although the accompanying spaetzle were firm and buttery.
    • 1994 July 22, Grant Pick, “Bigot for Hire”, in Chicago Reader[2]:
