| With a king-sized persona,
Alfons
Schuhbeck is literally a household word in Germany as he appears in cooking
shows frequently on national Television and has written over 20 books. It was
under Alfons's tutelage that Executive Chef Patrick Raass came into his own to
take over the reigns in the kitchen, working hard to emulate his mentor, all
the while keeping his own creative streak intact. Stepping into the restaurant
off the busy Platzl is like entering an entertainment zone. Crafty photos of
Alfons are shown in every conceivable situation working his magic, even in the
restrooms. Restaurant manager Wolfgang Hirn welcomed us with true southern
hospitality and guided us to our reserved table for the evening. |

|
| There was room for a main course of Saddle and Shank of Bavarian
Venison with Nut-Filled Yeasted Dumpling, which came as a surprise
suggesting, that Alfons Schuhbeck was reaching back to his roots. All the right
traditional ingredients were there pointing to dishes that Bavarian hunters
would bring to the table, but in terms of arrangement the selection was
skillful art. An excellent bottle of Cantina La Fiorita Brunello di
Montalcino 2002 made for an interesting match as it offered a bright ruby
color with violet highlights and an intense, persistent bouquet of berries and
aromatic herbs. The menu was easy to follow and well laid out, with wines
paired to ultimacy. Sommelier Patrick Eglauer, well-versed and passionate, was
outstanding in his role. We finished the evening with a Frozen Cappuccino with
Exotic Arabian Spices,

| Dear Friends |

|
| Hello again my traveling friends and happy Valentines.
February is the month of love; almost the end of winter and 2008 is a leap
year, which gives us an extra travel day! I can feel that spring is right
around the corner! Woo hoo! Shaking of the winter blues is important, and the
best way to do this is to hide away in a world-renowned, recognized luxurious
spa for at least a week. We are introducing the Seven Stars and Stripes Global
Spa Award for the first time next month at the ITB (International Travel Show
Berlin) and are delighted to welcome distinguished spa expert
Ming W.
Teh to our advisory board. We are also saluting Celebrity Chef &
