The buffet features German classics like slow roasted suckling pig, bratwurst (sausages), liverwurst (pâte), pretzels and potato salad. Sweet treats include Black Forest cake, apple strudel and Bavarian cream.

“Oktoberfest is a celebration of food, beer, culture and community, and that is something we hope is reflected in our menu,” said Frausto-Cornish.
