The Überschnitzel comes to Chicago!

Two new German restaurants, D.A.S. and Radler:

D.A.S. stands for “ding an sich,” Immanuel Kant’s concept of the “thing in itself,” the object of philosophical consideration separate from human perceptions of it. The name and the restaurant concepts conjure a beer-hall-meets-lecture-hall philosophy—a Weltanschauung of Gemütlichkeit, with emphasis on Nietzsche’s concept of the Überschnitzel.

For the record the Überschnitzel is an even less important concept in Nietzsche's philosophy than the Übermensch!

(Thanks to Jerry Dworkin for the pointer.)
