re: OT: Helen

I can tell none of you are locals. Paul’s is the place for the over 40 affluent redneck crowd that thinks it’s still hip. Food is decent but quite overpriced.

Pints and pies has pretty good pizza, and the best specialty food item in the entire hamlet is a sandwich called the Camel Rider...this can be found at the International Cafe over the river next to the walking bridge. You are welcome in advance...you can thank me later.

Hansel n Gretel fudge shop next to the liquor store has an item called puttin on the ritz that is the perfect confection for after lunch.

Most of the “German” food in Helen is prepackaged bullshite, but Bodensee is run by a real German couple and is the place that any German tourists go to eat to get real German food.
