We went to celebrate my Dad’s 90th birthday. Our family has Czech heritage, and my parents have been to Prague several times. I wasn’t able to take him back to the homeland for his milestone, but having him visit me in Chicago for a few days was the next best thing.
Our server treated him like a rockstar. We got a free round of Becherovka shots with our apple streudel dessert, and they brought it out with a giant birthday candle and the Happy Birthday song playing. He was delighted!
Our meal of traditional roast duck, sauerkraut and bread dumplings was spot-on — just like my grandmothers used to make!
Thank you for a beautiful, memorable evening neither my Dad nor I will forget!
