I'm still a bit jet lagged from my trip but I wanted to share one of my favorite moments from my recent visit to Germany and the Czech Republic. My first stop was Regensburg, which is in the Bavaria region, and home to my former college roomie and Bavarian native Sandra. The town is one of few that was not destroyed by any wars and many of the historic buildings have been preserved or restored over the years. It's a beautiful area with fantastic architecture and, of course, amazing food!
The best meal I had in Regensburg was at Wurstkuchl, a sausage restaurant overlooking the Danube River. The building that houses the restaurant is 850 years old, and the now-famed sausages started being served there in the 1800s. Everyone orders the same thing: a plate of sausages with sauerkraut, which is served with a side of famous Regensburg mustard and a basket of rye rolls. The food is simple, rustic and delicious. I ate this entire plate, plus two rolls - it was that good!
Even with temperatures hovering around 19 degrees that day, there was a long line of people waiting to get orders to go and we got the last table in the tiny restaurant. If you are ever in Regensburg, this is an absolute must. In fact, if you are in Munich - an hour's drive away - make it a point to get to Wurstkuchl for the sausages!
