Ludwigs, the Mountain View German beer garden, has a new owner, according to Palo Alto Online.
The Journal interviews new owner Gisela Qasim. She says she grew up in Munich beer gardens and knows how food tastes and is served. ‘We have a nice selection here, but I think we should modify it a bit to make it look more like a Bavarian beer garden.’
They will serve schweinebraten on Sundays, glühwein in winter, and Bavarian cabbage instead of Prussian cabbage.
Qasim adds, “I love to host everyone from all over the world who comes to the Bay Area to show how friendly and open the German community and culture can be, because my dad experienced that when he came.”
“He went to Munich on a scholarship from Pakistan in 1961.” My dad stated Munich in the 1960s was open, pleasant, and warm. I think German society should center on this.
