Since it's been a while there will be an influx of posts coming about different things we've done the past couple weeks! A couple Saturdays ago we hopped on the train towards the French border to the city of Saarbrucken. We were going there originally for this awesome meal and ended up finding out about shopping...so we obviously left earlier to experience both of our favorite things. We entered a three story building housing Primark aka our new favorite place in Germany. The amount of people that we saw around the city with these bags was absolutely ridiculous! There was so much to see we had to give ourselves a time limit so we wouldn't miss our dinner reservations?! We both ended up with crazy amounts of stuff for super cheap prices...seriously, a purse for 7 euro! Basically what it comes down to is we will need to make a trip back before spring break.
After our shopping adventure we headed towards The Grand. We have never seen so many people waiting outside a restaurant for it to open...actually come to think of it we've never heard of anyone waiting for something to open, unless it's Walmart on black Friday. As we skimmed the menu we were pretty excited and we realized once we got in we did not know what we had gotten ourselves into...basically each table has an ipad set up at it andthere are 5 rounds of food. Each person enters 5 items in per round of food, so if you need help with that math (we don't judge) that's 25 different food dishes. Yes, 25. Clearly we had to make a game plan and we started with lighter foods like miso soup and sushi then we moved to the big stuff like beef. Surprisingly the bacon wrapped asparagus was actually the most filling (we still managed to get about 8...). Of course we ended our courses with plenty of green and purple ice cream. Don't ask what the flavors were because we literally have no clue. Since the restaurant charges if you don't eat all the food at your table, to say we were sufficiently stuffed would be an understatement. So we showed off our American spirit (of eating ourselves to death) and made our way through this delicious evening. If you're ever in the area...definitely try this place but we reccomend not eating for about two days before...
