Tammy and I enjoying our first meal in Hamburg, Germany. We may not have found an actual hamburger but the restaurant we ate at carries the name: Hamburger Stadtkrug, and they seem to specialize in potatoes because just about every meal on the menu comes with pan fried potatoes. Alice wasn’t into the potatoes and instead had a Vietnamese soup of tofu noodles with bean sprouts at another restaurant. May 18, 2017
