Step into "Bäckerei Marr" in Steinbach-Hallenberg, Meiningen (Thuringia), and you're in for a delightful surprise every Thursday! This family-run bakery transcends its traditional bread roots, transforming into a barbecue haven.
Brothers Thomas (39) and Daniel Marr (44), now the bakery's new owners, have a knack for creativity. After inheriting their father's last producing bakery in the community, they set their sights on something unconventional – wood-fired ribs. Obtaining a second-hand oven from eBay classifieds, they began cooking an extra 5 kilograms of ribs every week.
Once the oven reaches its desired heat, the Marr brothers are ready to work their magic. "We don't want to waste all that energy and the demand means we'll keep doing it," Thomas explains. Their secret sauce, a marinade prepared with around 40 kilograms of chop ribs, sets their ribs apart, waiting to savor the smoky sweet flavors in the wood-fired oven the next morning.
The waiting game begins. The ribs cook for a total of two hours the following morning, glazed with BBQ sauce for the final 15 minutes. By noon, the eager patrons swarm in to secure their share of the popular dish. Beat the crowd and seize your chance at a tasty treat – it's best to give them a heads up or visit before 12:30 p.m.
With irresistible aromas, word of mouth travels fast, attracting individuals from nearby areas, including Timo Kleinhenz from Bischofsheim (Bavaria). Now, "Bäckerei Marr" has become a well-known staple, extending their reach throughout Germany, welcoming patrons from Eisenach, Erfurt, and even recently Berlin.
For those on the go, they offer vacuum-sealed ribs to take home or enjoy fresh in the cozy atmosphere of the bakery. Wolfgang Helmbold (73) and his wife Regina (71) made the trip from Suhl to indulge, and Karl-Heinz Niemann (85) has been cycling from Schmalkalden to indulge in the unique taste every fortnight for months.
Perhaps the key to their success resides in the marriage of a classic bakery with innovative culinary creations. As Niemann puts it, "I like the special taste from the preparation in the wood-fired oven."
