Beer and a Weiner…YA!

Hot dogs, franks, wieners or sausages? Where to find something unique that is not a Frankendog stuffed with fake cheese or a typical pink footlong? Do you want a change and something new and exciting? What about a fantastic Belgian ale poured fresh from the tap to pair with it? 

Does this sound incredible to you? Too good to be true? 

There is a place buried in the depths of Los Angeles, where the artists and creative types live in a transitional urban neighborhood friendly by day and a little scary at night. But this place is worth the dig and worth the fright. It's a sanctuary for the residents and those who know about its culinary secrets. Dare to open the black door of corner building of 800 block.  This place is a gem in its own right. 

So, Wurstkuche has over a dozen Belgian beers on tap, yes on tap, eight German and four American as well. All picked to go perfectly with your gourmet sausage sandwich. They have 21 sausages to choose from with various gourmet toppings for each. 

For beer, definitely order the Affligem Noel. This is a wonderfully dark Belgian with a nice fruitiness, slight yeast, and dark nose to compliment the gilled skins on your sausages.

For food, get the Bratwurst and the Duck and Bacon with Jalapeno peppers. Get the sweet peppers and caramelized onions for a topping. You can't go wrong.

If you are up to it, try the rattlesnake and rabbit with spicy peppers!

Dogs just got so much better.
