Sausage and Beer at Wurstküche


Just about every sausage you can think of is on the menu at Wurstküche, over 20 sausage varieties, including a few that will make you take a double take. The exotic section of the menu includes Rattlesnake, Rabbit with Jalapeno, and Alligator and Hickory Smoked Pork Andouille Sausage. As tempting as they were, I loved the Chicken Apple with Spices.

There are 3 soy based sausages so there's no need to leave your vegetarian friends at home. On the side, Belgian fries come with Blue Cheese Walnut and Bacon dipping sauce or just about any sauce you can imagine.

The beer selection is fantastic. Belgian, German and American on tap and bottled. The Blanche de Bruxelles went great with my sweet chicken sausage. There's also a large gourmet soda selection with fun flavors: Mr. Q Cumber Soda, Victorian Lemonade, and Sarsaparilla to name a few.

The large sun-filled back room has a laid back vibe and a selection of seating options: the long communal table in the center, the bar or smaller cafe tables. This is a great addition to the Arts District. I'll definitely be back.

Shh... Best Dogs Around


Pinks is great. Let's Be Frank, delicious . We have great hot dogs in LA. Yet nothing compares to the delicious dogs at Boston Speed in Roxbury, MA. Wall St. Journal wrote an article scoping out the best dogs in the country and Speed's was #1. Foodie scout Judy in MA, always a tremendous resource, took me there on my last visit to Boston.

Off the beaten track in a food truck, people line up for a lil' taste of hot dog heaven. After 30 years, the octogenarian Speed is no longer there daily, yet, Judy arranged for Speed himself to meet us there. What a treat!

What makes these dogs so tasty? Speed has many tricks up his sleeve that he's developed in over 30 years of making dogs. One of them: the dogs are so juicy because he soaks them overnight in cider. They are flavorful! The sauce is also a secret recipe. Writing about this I'm yearning for another dog.
