Wurstküche Exotic Sausage Grill

Austin Blues Sausage is smokey and spicy a delicious treat with their crunchy thick cut fries.

You didn't read wrong. Exotic. Sausages. Another awesome food experience in LA. Wurstkuche is in the heart of the art district - distinctively decorated with their bright yellow and red doors. With a lunch room setting on the inside (minus the pesky clique tables. Mean Girls anyone?) and outdoor seating by large brick walls with dainty white flowers. This once was a warehouse that probably would've gone to waste if it had not turned into a great eating facility.

So what's an exotic sausage? Does Duck & Rabbit with Jalapenos qualify? Sure! Uniquely German. Deliciously American.

What else is on their impressive menu? (selected items)

• Apricot Ginger - chicken & turkey in lamb casing
• Austin Blues - hot, spicy, and smokey hardwood grilled (I got this and it is pretty spicy but satisfied my cravings of what I imagined a sausage would taste like from Texas)
• Buffalo, Beef, & Pork with Chipotle Peppers
• Rattlesnack & Rabbit - with Jalapeno Peppers
• Alligator & Pork - beautifully smoked in hickory with Andouille sausage

Accompany any of those with their delicious french fries and wide variety of dipping sauces (please be smart and SKIP the ketchup they have way too many sauces to be dull!) I had their fries with sun dried tomato mayo and tried some of their chipotle aioli (skip the mayo try the aioli).

If you aren't looking into their beer no need to feel left out there are many drinks like Cucumber soda, ginger beer, and vanilla sodas to relieve your thirst.

What accompanies a German bratwurst better than beer? With 24 different beers on draft (only 3 of which are from the US) you'll stay way past your lunch hour (and quite possibly bed time - the bars are open until 2am). Most of their beers are imported from Germany, Belgium, and England and most of them come in their own unique glass. I was kindly informed to stay away from the Kwak beer (no not Korean Kwak - Belgian Kwak) even though it came in it's own hour shaped glass and wooden holder! Apparently it's a bad amber beer with a very strange after taste.

I opted for something a little more refreshing to cool down my Austin Blues - Mr Q Cumber soda was so good! I'm currently looking to see where I can buy this myself - it's so light and bubbly I could drink it all summer long.

If you're ever in LA - this line is worth waiting for. These sausages are certainly better than the fillers and byproducts (ewwww) that we usually grill on the Barbie in our backyards. Enjoy!
