Not that a Hoffbrau Steak NEEDS it

At Hoffbrau Steaks…we’d like best to have you eat it the way we dressed it.

However, for our sauce connoisseur’s; we offer the greatest. All of our stores will hand you, on request, any damage you wish to inflict on your own, tender slice of heaven.

We proudly carry almost all your favorites, from the British (oh, yes) invented A1, which was first brewed way back in 1824. Legend has it that when King George of England tried it the first time, he was so excited by its flavors; he held up a thumb and declared it “A-1.”

Not the Oldest

That honor goes to Mr.Lea, and his chemist friend, Mr. Perrins. They invented the blend of top secret (truly-no one knows what goes in!) ingredients that deliciously confound us all. The name comes from it’s origin…Worcester, England. And the most important steak sauce question? Worcestershire can be properly pronounced a few ways: “WUST-ter-shire, “WOOS-ter-sheer”, or “WOOS-ter-sher” sauce.

Pronounce it... "WUST-ter-shire"

Wanna try it home-made? We have a “kicked up” version of A1; Texas style

You will quickly develop your own twist in this recipe. Some people prefer more mustard, some prefer only ketchup, some add fresh tomatoes -

Only way to top this....

experiment to come up with your own signature steak “frosting!”

Happy Mother’s Day from A Grateful Hoffbrau…Man

It’s good to be Aron Fogiel, owner of Hoffbrau Steaks.

Not only do I have a gorgeous and talented wife (who leaves her computer up every once in a great while…!), she’s an amazing mother to our two children.

Thank you ladies

In my restaurants, I have some of the most wonderful women supporting us all, every day.

As I celebrate Mother’s Day with my own family, I reflected a bit on all the wonderful women who help to make all of this possible.

There’s Abby, a brand new Mama (congratulations!), Toni, Barbara, Terri, my wonderful sister, Gayle, Kim, Kendyl and Gail. There’s Bianca, Jan, Kathy, Melissa,Racheal, and Cassie. I haven’t even begun to cover more than a small portion of the great mothers that I’m lucky enough to work with.

I haven’t even begun to cover the women who send the great Hoffbrau men to work with a smile…the Tippi’s, Kelly’s, and Katherine’s. Each of them is giving a big gift today too.

I’m so proud and full of gratitude for all the incredible women who are part of Hoffbrau!

Hoffbrau Steaks Honors Mamas

I always try to write what I know. So, as we approach Mother’s Day, I really want to dedicate a blog to the best Mama’s I know.

They inspire me so much.

I’ve thought about my sister, our mother, and my best friends. I’ve wondered about what that special formula is; what are those qualities that they all share. How do I thank them for what I can barely define?

I see these strong Mama’s in our Hoffbrau’s

Patiently explaining through a tantrum, to an unwilling tot, why vegetables are necessary. I catch them in the bathroom, giggling and laughing through messes and mistakes.

Happy Hoffbrau Mother's Day!

As mine grow to adults, I remember back to the moments when I wasn’t a wonderful mother.

That these two incredible people came from it all…well its’ a miracle.

I’ve been reduced to sheer awe at the awesomeness of it all.

It was then that a friend told me about a great book and video, and as I leafed through, I realized…this is how I mothered; this is my homage to all these great women.

“You’re the child with small hands and big eyes who never stops asking for more.”

This is how I was raised; this is what I told my children. All those women I admire? They all bred strength, imagination, and curiosity. All the rest is….gravy.

Happy Mother’s Day to the greatest Mamas! And, please, tell us about yours…
