Walter Staib, who runs City Tavern (hence his costume at left), will go with a Philly camera crew to Germany next week to film the first five of 26 episodes of his CN8 series World Cuisine of the Black Forest. The show, scheduled to launch at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 2, is is based on Staib’s cookbook, Black Forest Cuisine: The Classic Blending of European Flavors. While in Germany, the Steven Horn and his crew from hyped413 will capture footage and interviews in Old Nicolai Church and fountain of justice in Frankfurt; the Heidelberg Castle and the Old Bridge in Heidelberg; the Seehaus in Pforzheim (Staib's hometown); and the Hotel Post in Nagold (where Staib did his first culinary apprenticeship); and the Palais Thermal in Bad Wilbad and Baden Baden. Staib and host Nicole Woodruff will play tour guide.
