‘Vegetable of kings,’ ‘edible ivory, or simply ‘white gold’ – whatever you call it, white asparagus is synonymous with German cuisine, and at Bauhaus we wait all year for Spargelzeit, or asparagus season! During this short season, Germans enjoy the delicate flavour of this spring vegetable at least once a day. This adds up to a national total of over 70,000 tonnes of Spargel per year! White asparagus has a deep history of being a luxury vegetable. As far back as 2000 BCE, the vegetable was cultivated by the Ancient Egyptians, the Greeks, and the Romans. Throughout the reign of King Louis XIV, the vegetable gained popularity and was reserved for the tables of the court. It takes three full years for an asparagus plant to produce its first tip. White asparagus grows underground, surrounded by the earth. This protects the slim stalks from sunlight, keeping them from turning green, while also enhancing the subtle natural flavours. Rich in nutrients and low in calories, you can feel good about taking full advantage of Spargelzeit! At Bauhaus, we’re serving white asparagus soup, as a side dish, or as an add-on to our beloved wienerschnitzel. It doesn’t get more German than this, so be sure to take part in the magic of Spargelzeit before it disappears for another year!

This month, we’re celebrating one year with Daniel Klintworth, our General Manager. You've probably seen him greeting guests at the door, or maybe he's helped you choose a bottle of wine to pair with your meal. It's been one great year with Daniel. Whatever it is, it's likely you love Daniel as much as we do! Born in Germany, Daniel began his career in the kitchen of Hotel Quellenhof, a 5-star boutique hotel in his hometown of Aachen. It was there that he trained under Michelin-starred chefs Ranier Wolter and Guido Havercook. After six years of culinary experience, Daniel made the great leap to the other side of the restaurant industry and began training in front of house. With a move to Frankfurt and stops in various restaurants and hotels, Daniel opened a high-end nightclub for the modeling agency EastWest Models. Over the course of his seven years of management, the business expanded to several nightclubs, bars, and cafes across Frankfurt. In 2014, Daniel packed his bags and made the move to Vancouver to begin a new adventure and explore a new city. He has worked in various locations, gaining a sense of what Vancouver has to offer. In early 2016, Daniel joined the Bauhaus team as General Manager, completing the German lead trio with Stefan and Uwe. Happy Anniversary, Daniel! Thanks for being a part of the team.

Bauhaus Restaurant's mackerel dish may not look conventional in the slightest, but it has deep roots within the histories and traditions of German and Scandinavian cuisine. Bauhaus smokes the North Sea mackerel with apple tree wood to enhance the natural flavours of the fish, and pairs the fish with the traditional horseradish in the form of a foam, green apple relish, on pumpernickel bread.
