Mein Sausage!

Germany and Belgium’s best kept secret is now Los Angeles’ well-known fact: Wurstkuche Restaurant, right in the heart of the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles, is the premiere place for a choice meal of exotic sausage, imported beer, and the best french-fry-to-homemade-dip ratio this side of Western Europe.

You’ll swear you’ve died and gone to meat heaven when your eyes feast upon twenty-one different types of sausages ranging from the classics such as Bratwurst and the Hot Italian to the gourmet such as the delicate Mango & Jalapeno or Chicken Apple & Spices.  However, the true gem here is the exotic sausage selection which offers thousand-flavor-an-hour Duck & Bacon with Jalapeno Peppers and the absolutely essential Rattlesnake & Rabbit (buttery but mildly spicy!).  Wherever your taste buds lead you, you’re sure to be heading in the right direction.

The race isn’t over yet as their Belgium fries perfectly complement the jam-packed main course.  These truly are some of the best french fries in all of Los Angeles (yeah, that’s right, I said it!).  And what’s a fry without its sauce?  Ten different dipping sauces like Chipotle Ketchup, Thai Peanut, Pesto Mayo, a delectably chunky Bleu Cheese with Walnut & Bacon (my personal favorite), and the option of glazing the fries in white truffle oil make it seem too good to be true.

Choose from over twenty-one imported beers from Germany and Belgium like the Franziskaner Hefeweizen or Spaten Optimator, and you’ve created the perfect meal.  If you save enough room for dessert, make sure to head to the back bar and subject yourself to the awesomeness that is the Toasted Apple Pie Ice Cream Sandwich.

Reasonably priced (yes, they accept KCRW Fringe Benefits), loaded with hipsters, and soundtracked by an in-house DJ, Wurstkuche leaves you stuffed and satisfied, and then wanting more.
