Subscriber exclusive — You can keep Thanksgiving, Charlie Brown and I will have the Hot Brown
In the interest of full disclosure, I was excited my turn to submit an article would fall during the coveted Thanksgiving holiday week of the Southeast Missourian. What an honor! I was intent on not writing anything Thanksgiving related because I figured we would all be tired of turkey and would be looking for alternatives. Then, Saxony Hills Brewery in Altenburg, Missouri, was suggested. I have wanted to visit Saxony Hills Brewery for quite some time, and quickly volunteered. I immediately developed a plan of attack. The first hurdle? They are truly a weekend destination -- open only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My friends and I compared schedules and agreed to meet up late on a Sunday afternoon. Second challenge? The menu. If you've been reading along you know how I'm addicted to brats from the German Cook. You also know I enjoy a good burger. I am also a fan of the fried chicken salad. They have several of my favorites. I perused the menu online determined to find something new and noticed a delicacy I had never tried: the Saxony Hills Hot Brown.
