Recollection of his recent visit included the bar that inspired Charlotte’s Olde Mecklenburg Brewery’s design. His bratwurst experience included a farmer’s market that resembled a farmer’s market in Davidson, albeit two centuries older. In sum, the second Munich experience left him hungry for more than the bratwurst he could not find back home.
