Brat Haus: Charcuterie, Grilled Sausage & Dark Beer

Bloggin' Good Food —  December 30, 2012 — 1 Comment

Our family is in town for Christmas and yesterday we decided to grab a late lunch at one of our favorite German eateries. With a last name like Leidhecker….how could we not.

Brat Haus is located in Old Town Scottsdale, AZ and has a perfect layout of brew house, butcher shop and beer garden. We opted to eat outside….no worries…they have heaters.

We ordered the kale & pear salad, the German potato salad and a charcuterie (sampler) of local goat cheese, Moroccan lamb sausage, rabbit & hops sausage and Duck & dates sausage. Everything was amazing! I also savored an amazing on tap special stout. It had wonderful creamy chocolate & berry notes with a smooth finish….I took my time on this bad boy.

Bloggin Good Food —  May 12, 2010 — 7 Comments

If you are a die hard fan of the Food Network then this post may make you a little jealous. Our dear friends Falon and Seth gave us the inside scoop that the Food Network would be in Arizona filming at Greasewood Flat. So, we took this as the perfect opportunity to not only try out Greasewood Flat’s famous Bacon Green Chili Cheeseburger but take part in an actual filming. Being an adventurous couple on a mission for good eats we seized the day, hopped in our car and headed up to Greasewood Flat. We could not contain our excitement and was eager to see what Food Network star and show was going to be making a special appearance. We have been told that Greasewood Flat has been a favorite local dive amongst the natives for years and we wanted to see what all the fuss was about. But leave it to us to let our taste buds and our eyes to do the judging. So, hold on tight to your saddlebags we are taking you on a tasty ride!
