You know what I didn't know existed until two months ago? Fried pickles. And now it's all I can do not to eat them for breakfast. Started by a pair of military brats with a shared love of the krauts, The People's Pub's menu is a love letter to southern Germany. Like multisyllabic schnitzels? Then you'll bust an umlaut scanning its assortment of wursts and spaetzles. The star of the show, though, is the comfort food, especially the grilled cheese/tomato soup combo and the five lightly breaded dills served with garlic aioli that, during happy hour, you can get for less than the price of a pint. Speaking of brews, People's will not disappoint there either. Spatens, Bitburgers, pils?they're all on tap, all available in highly sampleable 10-ounce form. People's does a number of things surprisingly well, not least of which is getting you tipsy on a budget. But again, no contribution is greater than its elevation of the lowly spear from sandwich-assisting afterthought to spotlight-hogging star.

  • Versus: In a Pickle at Homegrown and People's Pub

    By Julien Perry | Wed, June 09, 2010

    The Dish: The key to a good fried pickle is not in the pickle itself, but in the breading. The majority of fried pickles we've tasted have a coating that, with little prodding, falls right off in a greasy mess. What's the point of deep-frying anyt... More >
