Finals were stressing me out. Needed a quick study break and ANYTHING to get me out of the apartment. After a hard day of studying I started craving a sausage. I ventured to
Little Tokyo with
Kevin and
Chad, two of my friends from the team. We were in search of a sausage fix and ended up at
Wurskütche, the German Sausage joint. To me, the most impressive part of the restaurant was the design. I love the outside decor that makes it look very industrial. The red and yellow diagonal stripes almost look like you're entering the tunnel of a subway. The front of the restaurant, where you order, looks like a small to-go restaurant. The grill is visible and all the different sausages are on display. Reminded me of a street vendor. The back of the restaurant follows the hip LA scene with dim lighting and lots of long wooden
community tables. Overall it looked more like a bar than a restaurant. In fact, there was a bar, and I would totally consider going there just for drinks. We sat ourselves at a table in the back and waited for our sausages with our order numbers. I grabbed some of the large mustard tubes while we patiently awaited our sausages.

Chicken, Apple, and Spices- chunks of apple
and specs of cinnamon |
I ordered the
Chicken Apple and Spices sausage with caramelized onions and sweet peppers. The sausages were moist and juicy, but they were not specifically bursting with flavor. I couldn't really pick out the apple or the cinnamon flavor. The bun was sweet and soft, reminded me of an umami bun. Personally, with hot dogs I like my bun toasted, but I see what they were going for. The caramelized onions and sweet peppers were great on top. I also used the whole grain mustard, definitely a good combo. Chad and Kevin both ordered the
Belgian fries. Those were probably the highlight of my meal, when they weren't guarding them with their long swimmer arms. I liked dipping them in Chad's
Chipotle Aioli. Not a big fan of Ranch-what Kevin ordered.
After dinner my sweet tooth was acting up and I really wanted to go to
The Pie Hole across the street. Unfortunately it was closed! Before 10? I thought it was a late night joint? Anyways, I'm sure I'll blog about their mexican chocolate pie sometime soon.
