I don’t really get the current MCs hype here, but so far it’s the best looking one in my opinion, at least from the outside
Thanks for sharing this one ! The building obviously used to be an Alsatian brasserie – and a kitschy one at that (coat of arms of Strasbourg, big obvious stork, *colombage* style). This area was last redevelopped around the time when Alsace was part of the German Empire, so I guess you could call it a “love letter” 🙂
You might guess that the statue of the king has something to do with that other competing burger brand. But no, a quick Google say it’s the “King of Beer” !
I saw a site mention that he’s modelled after historical King Gambrinus of Flanders ! My apologies to our culturally superior beer brewing neighbours, the only beer they sell inside these days is Heineken tinnies…
