When André Sander sent in this Number 22 and a beer, his e-mail started off by simply stating: A real recommendation this time! As if the previous ones had been some sort of cruel hoax! On my next visit to Berlin I will surely follow his advice. This could well be the most “exotic” Number [...]

Doubleheader Wednesday! Number 22 #15 and #16

For those of us who love baseball (like me) a doubleheader is having your cake and eating too, while for baseball non-enthusiasts it basically means twice the boredom for one low-price. Not familiar with baseball? Let me explain: A regular sesaon of baseball is comprised of approximately 1,274 games. Add in another 227 in the [...]

So there I was, trapped in Bremen Main Station, with only 22 minutes to spare before my train left and an amazing hunger which had me dizzy and confused after a full day of meetings. (Dear Spirit, let the economy recover, hallelujah!) Now, I am an optimist but also a realist and figured there was [...]

Holger Boerner sent us another Number 22 and a beer from Berlin, thanks Holger. (Sorry it took so long to go up, but the bills have to get paid!) And keeping with the general stress around here I will be brief. I have only one question: Do people actually enjoy “Berliner Weisse” beer? Vivo Wittenbergplatz 1 [...]

Baluchistan. A little like India. Only less delicious. A quick glance in wikipedia will tell you where it is, but having some of the food from there, just might make you want to never go. Admittedly, generalizing a region’s cuisine based on a sole visit to a restaurant thousands of miles away from the actual [...]

Our 11th Number 22 and a beer is again from André Sander and Jill Koglatis of Berlin. Thanks! Not only is the restaurant something new for us, this contribution is proof that simply by adhering to the Number 22 and a beer strategy of ordering, you can still get a table at a full restaurant, [...]

I just poured myself a glass of wine and am doing a little shimmy, because here at Number 22 and a beer it’s time to celebrate our 10th Number 22 and a beer! But there is no time to rest on our laurels. The past 36 days have brought a lot of visitors to the [...]

Kudos to our first mutliple contributor, Holger Börner! ¡Ay, Caramba! Not only is Holger apparently a true believer in the “Number 22 and a beer” idea he really, really must like to eat. I am a lover of true mexican food, and yes I do also mean pickled pigs ears and nopales, a delightfully spicy-sour [...]

I am glad to say that I am back and all bones are where they should be, and in as many segments as our maker intended. The snow, sun and skiing were great, but sadly no 22s were to be found in the Austrian Alps. While I was away a few more did come in [...]

This Number 22 and a beer comes to us from Tobias Krämer. I am always happy to have non-asian 22s, if only to knock over the stereotype that only Asian restaurants use numbers. Actually I am currently thinking about calling my local government representative to have him sponsor a bill at the EU, that would [...]
