Hallo Eaters! Now that I'm in Germany for a few weeks and Sporkful is fully Transatlantic, we're having our first European meetup in Berlin on Saturday, September 10th. After great meetups in New York, DC, Chicago and Honolulu, it's about time to meet Eaters on another continent. And this is not just any meetup. Our awesome friends at the Good Stuff Supper Club (recently picked by The Guardian as one of best in Berlin) are hosting, so this will be a meetup like none before.
Good Stuff will give us a special taste of their delicious and innovative underground restaurant. The night is also a sneak preview of their soon-to-open bar and event space Geist im Glas. That's where we'll be gathering, at Lenaustraße 27 in Neukölln. It starts at 7pm and will go as long as we like. The event is free and drink specials are on offer. Try to get there early, because the food is known to be quite tasty and won't last long. I look forward to seeing you there! /mark Photo: Flickr CC / 80755490@N00Sporkful Berlin Meetup: 10.

The second ever Sporkful Chicago Meetup will take place on Sunday, February 24, from 5-7 pm, at Clark Street Ale House, 742 N. Clark St. Sporkful T-shirts will be on sale, but merriment will be free!

We do get Koelsch in the States (it's one of the styles I wrote up in Slate), but generally only from a few producers. There are dozens more in Cologne and I had
