German currywurst now in hip LA

City adds currywurst to its international menu

LOS ANGELES - Tucked into the streets and boulevards of this sprawling city are places in Little Tokyo to slurp ramen soup, in central LA to savor Guatemalan tamales, in Chicano neighborhoods to dine on authentic Mexican specialties. You can also find two little restaurants that feature currywurst, Germany’s popular street food, and newcomers to this culinary mecca. Currywurst is traditionally made with grilled or fried thickly sliced sausages seasoned with curried ketchup and a generous sprinkle of curry powder. In Germany it’s sold at fast food stalls, where you stand and devour the comfort food from a paper plate with a tiny, disposable fork. Accompaniments are french fries with mayonnaise or a bread roll to sop up the sauce.
