A taste of Germany

Hildegard’s

A taste of Germany in Huntsville since 2003

By Aaron Tanner

Thanks to the space and military industry, Huntsville is a melting pot of German tradition. Tucked away in a small yet busy shopping center is a cozy restaurant serving culinary staples from one of Europe’s premier nations.

Since 2003, Hildegard’s German Cuisine has served authentic comfort food from the Bavaria region of Germany to hungry customers. Many popular German staples are available on the menu, including authentic imported sausages, house-made soups, a large selection of German beers and wines, and classic German schnitzels.

The schnitzels – thin slices of meat – are best-selling items, including Jaeger schnitzel, a breaded, pan-fried pork cutlet covered in a brown mushroom gravy sauce, and Rahm Pils, another schnitzel served with a mushroom cream sauce. Other favorite dishes include Geschnetzeles (tender pork with mushrooms, onions, and a light cream sauce) and a Chicken Cordon Bleu made with smoked Gouda cheese and Black Forest ham. For a sweet after-dinner treat, Hildegard’s decadent desserts include apple strudel and German chocolate cake.

Before founding her namesake restaurant, Hildegard Collins migrated from Germany and worked at Redstone Arsenal with other women who moved from the same country after World War II. Together, they made traditional German meals for the soldiers stationed on base once a week. “The dishes brought a little bit of home back to Huntsville,” current Hildegard’s owner Amy Miller explains.

After retiring from Redstone and opening a restaurant where she served salads and sandwiches during the week and traditional German dinners on Sundays, Collins sold the restaurant in 2009 to her daughter Sabine. The latter expanded the kitchen and sold full-German meals daily. Sabine’s ability to run her mom’s restaurant and another location she opened across town in 2014 caught the attention

of Miller, who had been working in the restaurant industry since age 14. While catering a private event at her house, the two discussed the challenges of the foodservice industry and Sabine’s struggles of operating both restaurants at the time. “We started talking and lamenting how hard it is to find good people to run a restaurant,” Miller recalls. Although German food was not originally on her radar, Miller always dreamed of owning a restaurant. A combination of Sabine looking to sell Hildegard’s, Miller being fascinated with German culture and food and having a grandfather and father from Germany inspired the two to negotiate a deal for Miller to buy Hildegard’s German Cuisine in 2016 while Sabine focused on her restaurant. “I was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time,” she says. The scratch-made dishes on the menu combine Hildegard’s family recipes with ones from a cookbook of Miller’s oma (grandmother). Miller takes pride in the kitchen staff’s methods of prepping food, including hand-pounding each schnitzel and preparing the house-made soups, dressings, gravies, sauces, and desserts. “We won’t sell something that is not up to our standards,” Miller says. Like many restaurants, Covid-19 affected business at Hildegard’s. Besides supply chain issues and temporarily reducing hours due to staffing shortages, social distancing forced the restaurant to suspend taking reservations and reduce seating capacity. During the height of the pandemic, the staff worked for free to continue serving guests via curbside. In return, customers turned up in droves to support the restaurant and staff. “We saw the best of the community come out,” Miller says. Despite the challenges, Miller enjoys running a fast-paced business and treating staff and customers well. “I am a very fortunate person in that I found something that I love doing,” she explains. Her future goals include hiring more staff Hildegard’s German Cuisine 2357 Whitesburg Drive Huntsville, AL 35801 256-512-9776 Hours: 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday; while taking care of current employees, expanding business hours, opening a second location in Athens, and making certain operations at the current location continue running smoothly. “My goal is to bring the authentic tastes of German cuisine to as many guests as possible and give them a 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday great dining experience every time,” Miller says. through Saturday (all hours subject to change) hildegardsgermancuisine.com

The beauty and benefit of bog gardens

In a few locations here in Alabama, wild pitcher plants are currently raising their vase-shaped leaves above the soggy floors of seepage bogs to create a unique vista of shape, texture and color. It’s a stunning scene that’s become harder and harder to experience, but one we can enjoy in small snapshots in our own yards and gardens.

Pitcher plants belong to a family of flora that also includes butterworts, bladderworts, sundews and other intriguing plants that use clever traps to catch and then digest insects and other small animals. This protein-rich diet allows carnivorous plants to thrive in bogs, areas of freshwater wetlands where the slow decay of vegetation and organic matter creates a soft, squishy peat turf and where the constant flow of water through the peat and surrounding soil washes away nutrients. What remains is a wet, highly acidic and nutrient-poor growing environment that’s inhospitable to many plants but is perfect for pitcher plants, their carnivorous kin and a diverse array of other plants including wildflowers, asters, mosses, sedges and orchids.

These bogs not only support all these different plant species, they also provide habitat for a wide variety of wildlife species and are extremely efficient at sequestering carbon. Unfortunately, bogs are disappearing due to adverse environmental and climate changes and human activities, and their demise has precipitated the demise of many bog-loving plants.

Among those are the endangered Alabama canebrake pitcher plant, found only in two counties of Alabama, and the green pitcher plant, found in northwest Alabama. Other pitcher plant species are also at risk from this habitat loss as are several of Alabama’s 50 native bog-loving orchid species.

Preservation work is ongoing to protect our remaining bogs (Week’s Bay, Splinter Hill and Gulf State Park in Baldwin County among them) and bog gardens have been created in several Alabama public garden facilities including Birmingham, Dothan, and Mobile botanical gardens and Auburn University’s Davis Arboretum. And with a little effort, some of these plants can also grace our home garden landscapes.

According to Patrick Thompson, a native plant specialist at the Davis Arboretum, successful bog gardening is all about recreating the conditions that bog-loving plants enjoy in the wild. For pitcher plants, that means an area that has a peatsand soil mixture and plenty of sunshine and flowing water. While wet areas and the damp banks of ponds and lakes may be able to support pitcher plants, the best way to grow them is in plastic-lined bog gardens, which require a degree of construction and careful engineering. Plans are available from a variety of sources including from the Alabama Wildlife Federation (visit alabamawildlife.org and search for “bog garden”). Help may also be available from local nurseries and public gardens.

If building a whole garden from scratch is a bit too intimidating, Thompson suggested starting out with a few hardy pitcher plants, thousands of developed varieties of which are now available through many retailers. (Never collect them from the wild!) Put them in a container filled with a peat-sand soil mixture and give them a continuous supply of water — Thompson suggested placing them where they can get a steady drip from rain barrels or even condensation from air conditioning units and they will thrive.

Or make a more diverse ecosystem by adding St. John’s wort, orchids, asters, wildflowers, grasses and sedges, native irises and other plants that do well in wet conditions to the container. Then sit back and enjoy the beauty of the bog in your own garden space.

JULY TIPS

• Keep young trees and shrubs and container plants well-watered. • Weed and keep an eye out for insect and disease problems. • Harvest summer fruits and vegetables regularly. • Stake tall plants. • Plant pumpkins, southern peas, beans, squash and cucumbers. • Start collecting seed from plants you want to replant next year.

Sport fishing legend leaves behind a giant legacy

Alabama and the world lost a great man when Ray Scott passed away on May 8, 2022. The “Bass Boss” was 88 years old.

No person in history influenced fishing more than native Alabamian Ray W. Scott, Jr. Field & Stream magazine once listed Ray as one of “20 individuals who most influenced outdoor sports during the 20th Century.”

I first met Ray while reporting on a Bassmaster Classic for a newspaper. A consummate salesman, Ray always made a point to meet new people and speak to them for a few minutes. Over the years, we bumped into each other at various events and I interviewed him several times for both print and radio. He never disappointed.

Born Aug. 24, 1933, Scott grew up in Montgomery during the Great Depression. Forever an entrepreneur, young Ray delivered groceries on his bicycle, cut grass and sold peanuts at baseball games to help his family during those lean times. When not working, though, he went fishing.

“I loved fishing from my earliest memories,” Ray once told me. “I’d hop on my bike with a cane pole and a can of worms to fish for bluegills anywhere I could find. Then one magical day when I was about 7 or 8 years old, my life changed. I was fishing and all of a sudden, this shimmering silver creature leaped out of the water on the end of my line. I was in awe of its strength. I had caught a largemouth bass. From that moment on, bass fishing was my passion.”

As a young man, Ray began selling insurance until drafted into the U.S. Army in 1954. After his discharge, Ray used his G.I. Bill benefits to earn a business degree from Auburn University.

In March 1967, a storm cancelled a fishing trip, but Ray experienced what he called a “brainstorm in a rainstorm.” He envisioned a national professional bass fishing trail. That summer, after selling insurance for more than a decade, he quit his job to organize a bass tournament.

“The concept of a bass organization grew out of my idea for John N. Felsher is a professional freelance writer who lives in Semmes, Ala. He also hosts an outdoors tips show for WAVH FM Talk 106.5 radio station in Mobile, Ala. Contact him at j.felsher@ hotmail.com or through Facebook.

a true professional bass fishing tournament with stringent rules and a big purse,” Ray recalled. “My biggest challenge was money. I didn’t have any! I had to work smart.” That first tournament led to a national professional fishing trail and spawned a multi-billion-dollar industry. In 1968, Ray founded the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society, formerly based in Ray’s hometown of Montgomery and now in Birmingham. “My first tournament proved without a shadow of doubt the passion for an organization was there,” Ray remembered. “Bass anglers across the country were hungry, not just to compete, but also to get together and share knowledge. The energy and passion at that 1967 tournament were beyond belief. When we reached about 10,000 members in B.A.S.S., that gave me more confidence. Then it was, ‘Let’s see how far can we go!’” More than just promoting fishing tournaments, Ray encouraged people to release bass. That changed fishing forever. “Catch and release” became the standard for competitive fishing for bass and other species. He also pressured boat companies to design and build better livewell systems. “I didn’t invent catch and release,” Ray once said, During his lifetime, Ray Scott became friends with many celebrities and powerful people, including former President George H. W. Bush. He often took them fishing at his private lake. PHOTO COURTESY B.A.S.S. “but we did make it popular in bass fishing, and that changed the sport in so many ways. We preached that a bass is too valuable to be caught only once. We helped fishermen learn how great it felt to catch a 5- or 6-pound bass and then lean over and let it go and watch it swim away, hopefully to be caught again.” Scott sold B.A.S.S. in 1986, but continued to serve as the Bassmaster Classic emcee for years. He turned his attention to another one of his passions – deer hunting. He founded the Whitetail Institute of North America, Inc. to fund research on white-tailed deer, particularly on nutrition issues and availability of deer food sources. “I can honestly say I have no regrets,” Ray told me a few years ago. “Only in America could a guy like me with no money, but a vision and a dose of hustle have been able to pioneer two outdoor industries and make a positive difference in the lives of anglers and hunters across the country. It has been a great journey!” Indeed it has, Ray. You broke a lot of ground for many others. You left us, but your huge legacy will continue. Farewell and rest in peace, “Bass Boss.”
