Whether you’re a fan of Georgian food or you’ve never even thought about it before, we’re so excited to share the flavors of this delicious, ancient cuisine with you! While we love the food of the Peach State too, this menu is featuring food from the Eastern European/West Asian/Caucasian nation with a rich history dating back to the prehistoric period, and some of the world’s earliest known sites of winemaking, gold mining, and textiles. As its location suggests, the cuisine is a rich East-meets-West fusion, featuring pomegranate seeds, cultured dairy, dumplings, eggplant, walnuts and lots and lots of the best, gooiest, cheesiest cheese bread you’ve ever dreamed of.
On the menu: khachapuri (that’s the cheese bread), khinkali (succulent meat-filled dumplings), tomato-cucumber salad, eggplant-walnut rolls, plov (seasoned rice with dried fruit), kharcho (beef in spiced walnut stew), and tart cherry cake for dessert. We’re so excited to share this feast with you!

BYOB — We suggest a bright Georgian Rkatsiteli, a dry or off-dry Riesling, an earthy Pinot Noir, a bold Saperavi red, or a luscious late-harvest Muscat to pair beautifully with the tart cherry cake.

Oktoberfest Date Night Cooking Experience

About our Oktoberfest Date Night Cooking Experience
Prost! Get ready to raise a glass and celebrate Oktoberfest with a night full of flavor, laughter, and hands-on Bavarian cooking. This isn’t just any cooking class—it’s a lively date night that captures the warmth, heartiness, and cheer of Germany’s most famous festival. Think clinking steins, the smell of fresh-baked pretzels, and the joy of cooking something delicious together. Lederhosen and dirndls are totally optional—but if you wear them, you’ll definitely earn extra applause!
We’ll kick things off with warm pretzel pockets—golden brown on the outside, soft on the inside, and stuffed with gooey cheese, smoky ham, and tangy mustard. (We’ll prep the dough in advance so you get straight to the fun part: stuffing, shaping, and baking!) Then, roll up your sleeves to hand-make spätzle noodles just like Oma would have made them. Next, we’ll simmer beer-braised bratwurst with sauerkraut until juicy and savory, and toss together a warm German potato salad that’s bright, tangy, and just the right amount of comfort food.
And because no Oktoberfest is complete without something sweet, dessert is a show-stopping, team effort: a giant, six-foot-long apple strudel! Together, you’ll stretch the dough paper-thin (don’t worry, we’ll teach you the tricks of the trade), fill it with cinnamon-spiced apples and toasty breadcrumbs, and roll it into a golden, fragrant masterpiece. When it comes out of the oven, the first slice will have everyone grinning.
Bring your favorite Oktoberfest brew, your favorite person, and your best appetite. We’ll bring the recipes, the music, and the fun. By the end of the night, you’ll feel like you’ve danced, cooked, and feasted your way through Munich—without ever leaving the Ozarks.

BYOB

We suggest an Oktoberfest/Märzen beer, of course! If you prefer wine, any white German or Austrian wine would be perfect (dry or sweet, take your pick!)
