Persuaded TO Open Inn

Let's let Henry Fischer sen
of the original restaurateur of
Frankenmuth and alderman for
1S years, tell how the chicken
dinner originated in Franken-
muth:
"Frankenmuth was settled
little more than 100 years ago
by solid German farmers from
around the town Of Franken-
muth in the old country. Sixty
five years ago my father, Theo-
dore Fischer. miller by trade,
visited Frankenmuth. He found
German saloon which served
two big glasses of German beer
and a roast beef sandwich for a
nickel. Father decided that was
the place he'd been looking for
and got a job I'm the Franken-
muth flour mill.
For generations my family
had been inn and restaurant
operators, and my father finally
was persuaded TO open an inn.
The German farmers started
coming in on Sundays for
chicken dinners, and the fame
of the restaurant spread to
nearby towns and TO Detroit.

Keeps Business in Family
Today the Fischer tradition
is carried on. Henry Fischer
operates one of the great
restaurants. Herman Fischer, a
brother. operates another, and
third is operated by William
Zehnder, cousin. AS Henry
Fischer put It:
1--WE have sort of kept II in
the family"
Yes. the Fischer family draws
lot of water in Frankenmuth.
In the last election. Henry
Fischer had opposition in his
bid for the aldermanic post, but
ne registered a D TO ! victory
over his opponent.
And now here's tip for
Michigan gourmets who have
thrilled to Frankenmuth chicken
and might like to try preparing
it in their own kitchens:
Use five-pound young hens.
Do not joint Simmer in a sma"
amount of water until tender
and then remove from stock.
Salt and pepper. dip in melted
butter. lay in roasting pan and
roast until brown. The dressing
is made of a secret recipe, but
we do know that il is of bread
crumbs ncithe stock where the
chicken was boiled, plus high
seasoning; it is baked in the
roasting pan around the chicken.
