Wonderful update on Jiko.
I would imagine if there are chairs at the bar, they'd serve. In fact, I think I saw a few patrons sitting there on our visit. I'll go back and look at some photos to check.
It is such a lovely restaurant! And so many great choices. I'm so pleased that they were creative for Katharina's issues.
How wonderful that Jiko did such a lovely job with Katherina's food issues! I think that is a fabulous restaurant- always happy to have dinner at Jiko!
And so glad you took a bathroom pic!! They always make me smile!
Holy lightning updates! Love love love your meal at Jiko. I'm drooling just looking at the lamb! I really need to try that place one day. They seemed really accommodating for Katharina's meal needs. Really cool picture with Mickey and friends flying over your head like Soarin'
On a few occasions, I've gotten food to go at the Jiko bar--usually a flatbread. Of course, I would order a drink while waiting.
I've seen customers at the bar order from the Jiko menu and eat at the bar or one of the tables in the bar area.

I have not eaten at Jiko either. In fact I don't think I have ever convinced family to try a "signature" restuarant.
Put it on the wish list I guess.
I totally get Katharina's idea to eat something with no potential allergens in order to to partake in something a bit "risky" shall we say, later on.
That's how I keep most of my allergies under control yet still continue to eat some of what I am allergic to without suffering the effects.
That filet looks yummy!
When I read your update I naturally started at the top of the page since I was a work and did not have the bookmark as to where I left off. I just got home, so I went back to see what I missed.
I think of Sam Eagle when I see MSEP. At the end the patriotic float says "To Honor America" and I usually think- "It's a tribute to all nations, but mostly America."
Glenn didn't... 
Hope you have a wonderful time! 
Good thing the edges weren't real sharp or we might have had a beheading of poor Magdalene!
Most Americans know that the first Thanksgiving the Pilgrims and Indians had turkey and maize, but it is a little known fact for everyone but those who are well steeped in historic details that the maize was served in many ways, a few of which was creamed corn, corn muffins, mexican corn (we learned our open border policy directly from the Native Americans) and of course......Popcorn! So naturally they would have Turkey Legs and Popcorn together in the American Pavilion! It's a centuries old tradition!!!
February 5, 2010
Today was departure day we were really sad that the trip was going to end. But we still had some plans to look forward to.
So we were up early again to finish the packing. Which included some organizational skills since today was going to be a really warm day, but it was going to be freezing when we would arrive in Berlin...
We were successful in getting everything packed in a timely manner and then headed out to get some breakfast. But no kids meal and breakfast platter today! Instead: breakfast at Boma.
Our ADR was at 9am and when we arrived the restaurant was rather busy, but we later on realized that there were nearly no people arriving after us. So this was a good time to go!
We really enjoyed all the breakfast offerings there and this time Katharina got another very friendly chef who showed her the buffet and then offered to make her some dairy free pancakes! She was excited about this offer and accepted it. Shortly thereafter this plate was served:
This was a really nice gesture and I liked them, altough I think they were not only lactose free but also made with a kind of wholemeal flour. The only thing I would complain about was the portion size did they want to prevent me from eating anything from the buffet? There were two giant pancakes and four little ones.
Unfortunately this is the only picture I took of breakfast.
After my 2009 trip I was convinced that Tusker House breakfast was at least as good as Boma (where I had eaten in 2008), if not better. This trip I had both breakfasts in one trip. And in 2010 Boma did win easily! I found there to be more varied options than at Tusker House. I am not a plain eggs, sausage, potato breakfast eater. I like to try lots of different things. Oh, and of course they did win a huge brownie point by giving my little sister a Mickey Head pancake!!
Magdalene and Katharina, sorry I haven't been by much lately but very busy at work. I did want to make a quick stop and check in with you before you head out on your next trip in like 4 days I think!
I wasn't expecting so many updates when I got here though. Some really good stuff but only time for a couple of comments. Love the TT picture. Except for Magdalene, was it "everyone look stoic and bored" day???
Funny, I don't remember Donald's hat being so intrusive in the picture I got of Drew with him. Seems it was more of a shade producer for him!
Katharina, that filet looks fantastic! Haven't eaten at Jiko but both of your meals did look very appetizing, and the appetizer and dessert looked really good too. Haven't done breakfast at Boma either, but it is definitely on the list for our upcoming trip.......whenever it finally gets to come up.
And I am really disappointed in some of my fellow Americans on here knowing so little about the history of this country!!!
I was sure that the Imagineers did chose something really traditional there.
That's a lot of pancakes!
It's interesting to see the neck-and-neck battle between Boma and Tusker House over the years.
By the way....your trip is getting so close now!
(well, I got waffles from the main buffet, so I wasn't too sad about that...)
Just a few more days until Paris!!The Mickey Pancakes looked fantastic !!! As for Turkey Legs and Popcorn , I admit my American History is weak !!I was to busy studying all the wives of Henry the 8th !!!
Looking for a new post everday was something I looked forward to but I guess there is always DLP and then the ptr for your next DW trip which is soon to follow. 
have a safe journey and take tons of pics!
