Glendale, Los Angeles · restaurant
A walk-in German wurstery with long shared tables, cold half-litre pours, and thirteen links grilled from raw the moment you order, so the casing snaps when it arrives. The Käsekrainer, a smoked Austrian pork sausage studded with pockets of cheese that burst on the grill, is the one worth knowing about, and every wurst comes with a free topping. On weekends the kitchen runs until 2 am, which makes this the rare place where a proper bratwurst and a Delirium Tremens at midnight is a completely reasonable plan.
