Kitchen Fun on WVUE Fox 8

Fall favorites are back at Middendorf’s!  Owner and Chef Horst Pfeifer recently stopped by WVUE Fox 8 at Noon to preview our two biggest annual culinary events: Fettuccine Frenzy and Oktoberfest.

September is Fettuccine Frenzy

 

Every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in September, enjoy our handmade, paper-thin Fettuccine at Middendorf’s Manchac and Slidell. This is the iconic pasta recipe that defined fine dining at the French Quarter’s famous Bella Luna. You can also bring the experience home—uncooked pasta packs are available in our gift shop to help you create an unforgettable meal for family and friends.

6 Weeks of Oktoberfest

 

Experience an authentic taste of Germany every Wednesday and Thursday (Oct 7-Nov 12, 2026) at both Middendorf’s locations. We are featuring a rotating weekly menu of traditional German appetizers, hearty entrees, and decadent desserts alongside premium German beer. Plus, if you join us for all six weeks of the celebration, you’ll receive a special Oktoberfest prize!

The Full Menu is Still Available!

While we love celebrating our seasonal highlights, our World Famous Original Thin Fried Catfish isn’t going anywhere. Our entire regular menu is available all day, making it easy for one person to enjoy classic catfish while another dives into a traditional German schnitzel.
