I grew up in Michigan, I've been to Frankenmuth several times. In the early 2000s I sat next to Mickey Rooney and his family in the Bavarian Inn dining room. He was very humble and just seemed like a regular guy. Of course they loved the chicken dinner.
Dorothy Zehnder just passed away on 7.09.2023 the Matriarch, she was 101 years old and was still working at Zehnders..the liver pate’ is amazing on the garlic crusts
Thanks for sharing downtown Frankenmuth. I have stopped at Bronner's many times on the way back from Mackinac Island, but I've never gone to downtown Frankenmuth. I will have to go the next time I am in the area.
Love your videos but where is the one with Bronners video? We are heading there in July, wants dyour input. I am originally from Canada now permanent in E TN.
The liver pâté at Zehnder’s is delicious …. I’ve enjoyed it every time I’ve been there. But then again, I like liver and onions with bacon on top as well! 😂 The food looks absolutely delicious! It’s been a minute since I’ve been there unfortunately, probably a couple of years before the pandemic. And unfortunately, I have not been in a position to return since. I think I’m going to plan for a nice trip up there with my daughter and grandson in 2024. Sometime in the fall. I kind of enjoy the fall and we can get a ride on the riverboat on the Cass River.
When the elephants trunk is up, it usually means that he’s angry and charging at whatever it is he’s angry at. As to whether that’s good luck or not, I suppose it depends on which end of his charge you’re at? I remember my father brought back a table lamp made from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) made from Ebony wood that had a tree as the main portion of the lamp, and there was also an elephant with this trunk up.
Oh wow ...it was cool to see this video ...we got to hear ourselves saying Hi to you all ( ya we were sorta yelling it ) you both made our weekend ...love Frankenmuth..looks like everyone had a wonderful time .. Merry Christmas to you both ☺️❤️
Merry Christmas Will and Denise, Will and Dawn. This was fun to watch. Food looked really good. Never heard of Chocolate cheese. Wow, that’s new to me. Keep having fun. 😊
merry christmas everyone...denise looks so good and happy..dawn cute as always and happy go lucky to the two wills..lol..glad you had a good time together😊🎄🎀🔔
Everything looks great!!! I’ll eat pretty much anything and I’m not picky at all( wish I could say the same for my husband and grandson)!!! I would try the liver!😀😀😀 great video
Thank you for sharing. I went there when I was a child. We were visiting my Aunt Miriam and Uncle Ozzie who lived in Sandusky and had a motel along the highway back in the day. While watching yesterday’s video on the store I was thinking that we went some place famous that had been around a long time and had chicken. Thank you for confirming my memory. I’d love to go back there to see it as an adult.
such a wonderful place (Frankenmuth, Michigan). Thank You all for bringing us along; Will, Dawn, Denise and Will. the group shot near the end is very good too. Merry Christmas
There is not a tunnel between the two restaurant’s as a matter of fact they have separate kitchens, and their own chicken recipe, and their own separate chefs
We were very disappointed in Frankenmuth in general, suppose to be a Germany town with nothing Germany but a sausage plate in the basement of a store. We actually ate at the Bavarian inn but did get a sausage in the basement deli at Zehnders
I was born in Port Huron and lived in St. Clair until 1961 . I watch your video of being down on the St. Clair River often. It just brings a little bit of home for me. I lived on Brown Street which is right at the top of the hill off Riverside. My father was the golf professional at St. Clair River country club. We ate many meals at the St Clair Inn. My mother always went to Frankenmuth and I never got to go with her. I wish I had. I live in Cleveland and she lived in Toledo. I just never made it. Maybe it's time. Hi Denise, we've missed you on the videos!❤ Your smile is infectious
We used to have an American Family style restaurant sort of like that in California back in the 70s and 80s I remember going to as a kid a lot...was called The Big Yellow House and they looked like big Yellow Victorian houses and had food very similar to this place...was fried chicken, ham, potatoes, rolls, corn, salad etc. I wish we had something like that nowadays! There are still a few places were you can see what used to be a Big Yellow House around southern California but now turned into something else and no longer yellow lol
My Late Mom used to cut her chicken that same way. We had a pulley bone in it. I also had those little toys in pudding cups. This video brought back so many memories. Ty so much!
Dawn you are just too cute!! I love your faces when you're eating, you make me laugh all the time!! Your hair also looked so pretty!! Many Thanks for sharing another wonderful video with us, the food looked Amazing!!
Last time I ate at Zehnders in that White Building at Last April 2024 their Chicken 🍗 pieces are too small and I think 🤔 that The Zehnders who run that White Building as Cheap Donkeys 🫏 for that Reason . I prefer the Bavarian Inn across the street much better for their very own Chicken 🍗 pieces are just the right size like before.
Merry Christmas to all of you .Dawn you are looking very pretty you hair and complex looks great WILL take care of your beautiful wife .Restaurant is a time capsules
Glad yall had a great traditional Christmas meal with family, but hopefully a 2024 Resolution for yall will be trying some bbq, seafood. & country cooking buffets in Eastern NC, yall go all around it, but are missing out in some great food
Grew up about 20 miles east of town. Worked there for five years in the early 80s. So many great memories. Great place to go during the holidays.
I love this place.
So glad you enjoy my home town!! I work at Bronners ❤
We used to go to Bronners every year when we lived in Michigan

Oh wow 👌
My grandmother was German so I grew up eating stollen. Still love it.
Dorothy Zehnder just passed away on 7.09.2023 the Matriarch, she was 101 years old and was still working at Zehnders..the liver pate’ is amazing on the garlic crusts
Thank you for sharing 😃
Visited there about 7 years ago, wonderful memories thanks for taking us along. Definitely a must do during Christmas season.
Absolutely!
Thanks for sharing downtown Frankenmuth. I have stopped at Bronner's many times on the way back from Mackinac Island, but I've never gone to downtown Frankenmuth. I will have to go the next time I am in the area.
I was there a few years ago. I thought the chicken liver pate was very good. All the food was very good.
Thank you for sharing your Christmas series with us all...much appreciated!
Been there several times but never at night and never ate at Zhender’s. The food looked delicious and such a big variety. Very pretty at Christmas.
I'll have to try Zender's again. Preferred restaurant across the street, but I can't remember why.
I wish you could have gotten more of the clock. That's a wonderful place.
Best video ever We live just 20 min.away .Now l want to go soon. 😊
Great 👍
Thanks for sharing 😊keep up the good work 👍
Thank you, I will

Hello 👋
There is not a tunnel between the two restaurant’s as a matter of fact they have separate kitchens, and their own chicken recipe, and their own separate chefs
tunnel rumor is true as a employee
I love orange sherbet!! Yum yum!!!
Somewhat lactose intolerant !! I love ice cream but it does not always like me😢
It use to be five something for all you can eat!😂
What a great area to visit. Your food looked really good. Lots of cool shops as well. Thanks for the tour

Happy new year!!
They want you to fill up on soup, bread, coleslaw, ect, so you won't eat a lot of the good stuff, i.e. expensive. : - )
Nice!🎅🏻
I love seeing Dawn and Denise together. I wish that I could have copies of those pictures of them together in the wreath
Thank ☃️ you
You could take a screenshot and then make it into a picture 😊
Love liver, hate paper straws.
Love Frankenmuth
No go on the liver! Merry Christmas everyone.
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️
❤
The food quality has gone way down……. Used to be made by scratch ….
Is that Denise's boyfriend???
We were there last year. Way too much food for us to spend that much money per person 😢
