Episode 5

Sitting between Germany and France, Alsace is frontier land with a cuisine to match, showcasing very German sausages and very French frogs' legs.

In Strasbourg, Eva stops off at Brasserie Le Tigre for a beer (brassier means 鈥榯o brew鈥�) and a deliciously creamy tarte flambee. Then it's guide Coralie Andt鈥檚 restaurant, known as a winstub, where French wines can be enjoyed with a salad plate without salad but plenty of cheese and sausage 鈥� and more sausage with sauerkraut cooked in white Riesling wine.

With French tarts in a brasserie that serves German-style beer, and German sausage in a winstub serving French white wine, Alsace is defined by its geography.
