Munich’s 185th Oktoberfest has been in full swing since Saturday and festivities will run through Oct. 7.
The world-famous festival is known for its giant liter beers but Oktoberfest is so much more than libations and lederhosen. It is a celebration of Bavarian culture and heritage. On the Wiesn, there are 14 large and 22 small tents to visit, each with its own theme, personality and menu, not to mention the Oide Wiesn, the rides and other attractions.
But if you’re like us — and won’t be traveling to Munich this year — why not plan an Oktoberfest at home?
Consider Food editor Kelly Brant’s Bavarian feast of obatzda, roast chicken, potato dumplings, sweet and sour red cabbage and apple strudel.
