As the strategic alliance discussion reached a harmonious conclusion, the attention of the group naturally shifted toward the evening's culinary experience. The waiter, recognizing the pivotal moment had arrived to transition from business to dining, approached with a poised elegance characteristic of the Hotel Adlon Kempinski's staff.
"The chef has prepared a selection of our finest German cuisine for you this evening," the waiter announced, setting the stage for a meal that promised to be as memorable as their discussions.
First to arrive were the appetizers. For Michael and Bridget, the waiter presented a delicate arrangement of Handkäse mit Musik, a marinated cheese specialty served with onions, vinaigrette, and caraway seeds, offering a tangy start to the meal. Reiner and Berthold, on the other hand, were served a classic Kartoffelsuppe, a creamy potato soup garnished with crispy bacon and fresh herbs.
