You may have noticed the sauerkraut is late today, the reason was a fantastic weekend up at Penn State.  I scoured all the neighboring tailgates looking for dishes that used sauerkraut and came up empty (guess it was too far from Pittsburgh).  If you’re looking for a good kraut recipe...

Today’s the last day of Oktoberfest and if you live in Pittsburgh, that means you better make it over to the Church Brew Works.  Among the many specialty items they’ve got going are the delicious sauerkraut pierogies pictured above! On to the purpose of Sauerkraut Sundays… As I go through the...

I had the good fortune of attending the Zoo Brew this weekend and, in true Pittsburgh Fashion, Sauerkraut was spotted there.  It was served with kielbasa at tent #2.  In addition to Sauerkraut there was a fantastic selection of beers and a disappointingly small, but still fun, set of animals....

As a service to all the readers of my blog, who mostly check in on Sundays for their weekly dose of sauerkraut news and information, I have done a little research and helped you find the perfect crock pot for fermenting sauerkraut.  It appears from my research that the Harsch...

I was reading Business Week this week and saw something terribly terribly disturbing for Sauerkraut lovers the world over.  Bloomberg is saying that there are new restaurants all over Berlin and that you no longer need pork and kraut every night.  According to them, it’s being nudged out by caviar and...

The Blog of Burgher Jon isn’t looking for new corporate headquarters; we’re comfortable in my house and don’t really need to expand.  If we were though, we’d have our eyes on this piece of land in Wardensville, WV.  It’s on Sauerkraut Road! On to the purpose of Sauerkraut Sundays… As I...

This is not the first Sunday that I’ve rolled out a picture of sauerkraut from the Hofbräuhaus in Pittsburgh.  There’s something different this time though, I actually consumed it!  I was convinced by a friend that Sauerkraut balls are actually tolerable, even for people who don’t like Sauerkraut so I...

Douglas Robinson knows that Southwestern Pennsylvania is something that gets into your blood, and often it’s from the food. That’s how he explains his passion for sauerkraut to his son, who hates the stuff. Twelve-year-old Doug Jr. told his Dad, “I’m from Southwestern Pennsylvania, too, but I don’t like sauerkraut.”...
