Schneiders was the last to go. It burnt down not too long ago. Man I miss the hofbrahaus. Cool location and venue.
Don’t forget about Fritzies in Howell which closed around 2010.
There is a German restaurant in Browns Mills - down by Ft Dix which several friends have spoken well of. I don’t recall the name just now though.
I think it’s Sebastian’s Schnitelhaus. We might be going next week to try it out.

Thanks cj & gracieggg! I’ll convey your well wishes to her. It’s not quite low fat but was delicious 
Mrs. P wanted the the brownies made to her specifications, so if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself (plus I didn’t want to poison her if I tried making it). At least while she was making her dessert I ran out and picked up some twin stuffed lobsters (with crab, shrimp, and scallops), baked whole red snapper with crispy homemade potato chips, and stuffed avocado with shrimp, crab, and scallops from Don Pepe II to go with it

Wow, those lobsters look awesome! Were those hardshells?

Thanks cj. The shells were hard, but I don’t think they were hard shell lobsters, since there was liquid in them when you cracked them open.

Nice spread! Those peppers look good! What’s in them?
The peppers were a topping on my “Hell’s Kitchen” NY Strip steak. They became so popular I make them now as an appetizer. They are sauteed in evoo and garlic, after a few mins they are then flambe’ with tequila, then finished with chicken stock. Once they are softened by that process they are sliced, seeds removed (depending on your desired hotness) and stuffed with cream cheese (bonus points for scallion cream cheese) topped with seasoned bread crumbs, evoo drizzled over them and back into the oven for 10 mins to crisp the bread crumbs. (for the steak I place it on top and cover the steak with the sauce from the pan I cooked them in)

Our local community college theater company puts on a haunted house in the theater. We have new neighbors with younger children so we invited them for a night of scares! (and food and drinks)
