Schroeder s once only allowed men for its lunches. Here s how that policy changed Dianne de Guzman, SFGATE
In the fall of 1970, Carol Weintraub insisted to the San Francisco Chronicle that she wasn t suing hofbrau Schroeder s because of the women s liberation movement.
Instead, Weintraub told the newspaper it was merely because she preferred a bit of German food for lunch. It so happens I like German food which Schroeder s is noted for and I wanted to eat it during my lunch hour, she was quoted as saying. ( She simply likes German food, reads the caption beneath Weintraub s photo in The Chronicle.)
