Glarner Stube - New Glarus - (Redux) Friday Night Fish Fry
This entry was posted on 5/21/2010 2:20 AM and is filed under Ethnic Restaurants, Friday Night Fish Fry.
The Glarner Stube in New Glarus now has the distinction of being the only restaurant to be put on my fish fry list twice - a redux if you will. Also, I should have had them on my "Ethnic Restaurants" Category long ago. You can find the first review at Glarner Stube original review if you are interested. And that first Daily Dadio posting by the way was a spin off of a piece I did 10 years ago while writing for the Madison Area Technical College newspaper, "The Clarion."
It's only right I suppose, to put them on my blog twice; Heide and I had our first official date at this place 30 years ago. It has changed owners a couple times since then, but they have all left it basically the same. And, don't forget we lived in New Glarus for 10 years. One of the waitresses even remembered giving Heide a ride home one night because I got call down to the ambulance for an emergency when I was an Emergency Medical Technician there. Point being, the staff seems to stay working there a long time - quite an accomplishment in restaurant culture.
We were over there last week on a Friday to celebrate a birthday. I decided to break away from fish for a change and partake in their ethnic Swiss/German cuisine. I have always loved their German Wiener Schnitzel presentation. I love the way they bread it. There is always enough to take some home and have a whole meal the next day. I also ordered the Roesti. This is a shredded potato construct. It ain't hash browns folks. My mother-in-law tells me they bake the potatoes to get them prepped for the Roesti dish. And, it is always too much too eat. It goes great for breakfast the next morning with the left over German Wiener Schnitzel.
I opted for a salad with both French and Ranch dressings - a trick my mom used to order. I had a 16 once class of New Glarus Spotted Cow beer with my meal. I got a cup of coffee to top the meal off. The meal always comes with a basket of homemade bread, crackers, and whipped butter.
Heide's mom Chris got the baked fish with roasted mashed potatoes. She chose the Swiss vegetable soup in lieu of the cole slaw. Although, I have raved about their cole slaw recipe in other posts.
Heide got the all-you-can eat fried Cod with roasted mash potatoes. She also chose the Swiss vegetable soup in lieu of the cole slaw. They brought a little pastry with a sparkler for birthday-girl Heide. The Glarner Stube has always been a thoughtful and pleasant experience.
The Glarner Stube is still cool with Cool Dadio. You will not be disappointed. Take highway 69 south out of Verona or north out of Monroe. New Glarus is about 29 miles from Madison; and, about 17 miles from Monroe. The restaurant is in the village at 518 First Street. Be sure to call first as the Glarner Stube is very popular. Phone: (608) 527 - 2216.
Wisconsin Military Service Person Special Mention of the Week
(each week Cooldadiomedia mentions a Wisconsin service person killed in Iraq or Afghanistan
Marine Sergeant Andy A. Stevens, 29, of Tomah, Wisconsin, was one of 10 Marines who died Thursday, December 1, 2005, from an improvised explosive device (homemade bomb - IED) outside Fallujah, Iraq. The Marines were inside an abandoned flour factory being used as a patrol base when the IED detonated. All 10 Marines were assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force, based out of Twentynine Palms, California. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, their unit was attached to the 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force. Sergeant Stevens was a "scout sniper" and was on foot patrol at the time of the incident. Stevens was assigned to a Regimental Combat Team when they were attacked at the mill in a village just outside Fallujah in the al Anbar province. The unit was helping secure the region with counterinsurgency operations throughout Fallujah and the surrounding area before the December 15 Iraqi elections. The unit also took gunfire along with the bomb blast. It was later determined the explosive device was made of four large artillery shells. Stevens joined the Marines in 1995, after graduating from Tomah High School. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel noted Andy was a pole vaulter on his high school track team. According to the 1995 Tomah school yearbook, Stevens also participated in football, basketball, and concert choir in high school. At the time of his death Sergeant Stevens was survived by his father, Al Stevens; mother, Kaye Olson; and, sister, Amy Pelle. Marine Sergeant Andy Stevens was the 51st Wisconsin military service person killed in Iraq since the spring of 2003.
