What are your thoughts on this German Town in the USA? If you enjoyed this video, you may like: German Husband Tries Southern SOUL Food!

Looks like a tourist trap which is why it’s expensive. Most tourists expect to pay higher prices. When I go overseas as soon as vendors realize I’m American the price goes up 50 percent 😂
Oh my goodness, it was so great to see you make this video. It was so much fun to watch you both trying the food and making the comparisons. I visit Helen, GA often and I also host a RU-vid meetup in Helen always on the second weekend of March. Yes, the Georgia Alpine Coaster was worth it . I love Hofer's for sure. The cake-eating was fun to watch, lol. If you are in the Georgia area as we speak, I would love to meet you both. I live about three hours from Helen and I could hop in my vehicle to meet you both :). I have been following you both for two years or more. BTW- I am also hosting a RU-vid meet-up in Heidelberg on 1 July 2023 and I would love for you to accept my invitation to attend. hint hint:) LOL. !! Thanks again for not only this video but all the videos that you make. Let's surely keep in touch.PS- I have lederhosen (purchased in Bavaria) and I wear it from time to time for special events: ).
please go some of our towns that are actually german, not some tourist trap. there are a few comments under the video with suggestions. you should consider checking them all out. i'll add my suggestion of Madison WI to the ring, while it wasnt founded by germans, the cultural presence is still heavily there; given that Germans were the largest group of european immigrants to settle in Wisconsin.
I find German speakers here all the time, but yes it is super touristy... Also I would argue Levenworth in Washington is the most Bavarian town in the U.S.
@@jerrydufresne1886 Leavenworth is also a tourist trap. It's a little town that got stranded with no visible means of support after the railroad was discontinued, and needed to find something quick. So they dressed it up in a Bavaria theme and tourist stuff.
Agreed. But in actuality if they wanted a true US designed city, it would be like L A. where you have to drive a car 30 minutes to everything. It would be all spread out, no sidewalks, huge parking lots.
@@ImTheDudeMan471 Most US towns to not require 30 minutes of driving to everywhere. Even in LA and Houston 30 minutes gets you a good distance barring any unforeseen delays. You certainly don’t have to go 30 minutes in LA for the bank, grocery store, bar, etc.
The thing about the US is that depending on what part of the country you go to the architecture will be vastly different. In California a lot of buildings were stucco then I moves to the Southeast and encountered people who didn’t know what stucco was. Some parts of the South tend to have high ceilings and Gulf Coast has a lot of French influence.
I used to live in Atlanta and loved coming to Helen, but never really thought of it as "German", but more like a Disney version of southern Germany. What *IS* German about Helen is all the wonderful hiking (backpacking) right around Helen! It sits at the foot/start of the Appalachian Trail :-) I've spent more time backpacking near Helen than in Helen.
We have Leavenworth in Washintgon you might want to research and visit... It's just getting into the warmer weather here too and it's a beautiful German town
Leavenworth is billed as a "Bavarian Village"; I don't think I've heard it called generically German. It's in the Cascades, which are similar to the Alps (supposedly). It has about one German street. I first heard about it in my high school German class, so I went there and tried to see if anyone in the businesses spoke German, but nobody did. It adopted the Bavarian theme in the 1970s to encourage tourism to a small town a hundred miles from Seattle. Cheers from Seattle; I've been watching your channel for a couple years.
Leavenworth, if I remember correctly, meant to resemble Garmisch. Which it does. I was stationed in Germany and made the trip there. Both locations equally beautiful!!!
If you really want the American/German experience take a trip to the upper Midwest. You will find several little towns with German heritage. I’m from the Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin area and and a lot of the area is German or Dutch. The town I grew up in was mostly Dutch but also German. Some of the old timers still spoke Dutch and German there.
Also, Pennsylvania has alot of German influence. Pennsylvania Deutsch/dutch (no relation to the Netherlands when it is pronouced as Pennsylvania Dutch) community is very big. The PA Deutsch are descendants of Protestant groups including Amish, mennonite, lutheran, etc. that settled in PA in the 1600-1700s. My family in particular came over either in the late 1600s and the early 1700s. Most of my ancestors that came from Germany/Switzerland area, were here before the American Revoultion (only one fought in the revolution). Most people who speak the German Dialect of PA Deutsch are mostly mennonite and amish these days.
@@sarablyler7689 That's right. There was an entirely understandable misapprehension amongst the English/Americans. When we said Deutsch it sounds like Dutch. So they thought we were Dutch, but in fact we were German. There's this constant reference to the "Pennsylvania Dutch" but most of them would have been German. Language is not a giveaway either because Dutch and German are very similar sounding to an English speaker.
I am a native Georgian and have been visiting Helen since I was a child. No one thinks of it as being an authentic German experience. It’s just a tourist trap, and a great place to drink in October.
I wonder what Phil would think of Milwaukee, Wisconsin? They have a big German Fest celebration every year, nice German restaurants like Maders, and the famous Usingers Sausage company. Also LOTS of craft beer!! 🥨🍻
The Bodensee Restaurant is where you should have gone. I don’t think you would have been disappointed. The cook and owners are from Germany. We were there in Dec of 2020 it’s a cute little town to go to around Christmas time. Blessings from Oklahoma.
I think Helen is the third most visited spot in Georgia! Helen was a textile town that was dying in the 1960’s. Someone came up with the idea to re-do the town in a Bavarian style and it’s been a success. Unicoi State Park is just 5-10 minutes away: zip line, kayak rentals, camping and a Lodge to stay in- nice park!
I've been to Helen, GA a few times with friends. It's a cute 'german styled town' tourist trap and worth a visit. There are treat shops, trinket shops and several good 'german style' places to eat. Very family friendly during the day and after dark gets louder with the beer gardens. Lots of vacation cabins in nearby towns and moderate priced hotels are walkable to town if you want to get some 'german' drinking night life. During the summer months there is a water park and river tubing. Locals are great!
I wonder what Phil would think of some of the cities in Texas' Hill Country in between San Antonio and Austin that were settled by German immigrants such as Fredericksburg. Also whether Phil can understand Texas German. It'll be interesting to see him reacting to Feli's ( Feli from Germany) reaction to hearing elderly Texans speaking Texas German. The difference between Helen and St. Augustine is that St. Augustine was actually settled by the Spanish in the 1500's and isn't built solely as a tourist trap. I'm sure there are tourist trap areas in St. Augustine, but there's more cultural significance and toes between Spain and the city.
I was thinking they need to visit Wurstfest in New Braunfels the first week of November. I would be interested in their thoughts since I know that many of the ‘Opas’ (organizers) are German descendants and regularly travel to Germany as well.
The Old Bavarian Inn was one of my favorite places to go in Helen. Back in the day the chef was from Germany and made an awesome sauerbraten. May need to plan another trip up there, then hike up to Anna Ruby Falls (then desert at Hofers).
There are a few castle hotels in Germany. There is a fairly big one in Oberwesel and Schloss Rheinfels. There is actually a booklet that was published by the Germany National Tourist Board called Schlosshotels. Knockwurst is also known as knackwurst, they make a snap (knack) sound when biting into them. Knockwurst is just what these sausages are called in North America. My German mother orders them all the time at our local German deli here in Toronto
If you want to surprise him with language, take him to Fredericksburg, Texas. The Texan German used there is highly eclectic, almost like Cajun French.
Yall really need to get to Mt.Angel Oregon for there octoberfest in September! They have actual German performances and great german food. I grew up in this town and over 500,000 or more come from all over the world for our octoberfest❤
I went this past September for O’Fest and found it pretty standard. Come try Leavenworth, we are situated at the foot of the mountains. Gorgeous is Summer, as well.
2:52 actually some castles in Germany do offer accommodation. For example, next time you are in the Rhine valley region, you could try Stahleck castle in the little historic town of Bacharach. They run a youth hostel there and accommodation is not expensive at all. You do need to make a reservation, though.
My mother, Helga, is from Munich. I am American but I am comfortable with German things growing up with family from Germany. Many aunts and uncles. You mentioned you don't see brown mustard in the U.S. Look for Heinz Spicy Brown Mustard. It's my favorite. and great stuff.
I planned on visiting Helen, GA after a motorcycle rally next weekend. Thank you so much for showing your viewers what to expect there. Much love from Charlotte, NC! ❤
I find that "German restaurants" in the US are typically overpriced for simple foods like sausages and schnitzel, with a side of mash potatoes and cabbage. For affordability, it's best to find specialty sausage makers to get quality sausages and prepare it yourself and then buy your own beer!
Ha... was just coming to say... on your next US trip... Come to Texas... Lots of German food offerings here... Fredricksburg one of my favorites... would love to know what a real German makes of the food there... This is a tourist trap... not really making fun of Germans... I look at it as more embracing a part of Germany... but, still... or come to my house... I make great German food.... Hmmmm, I think...lol
Definitely need to speak to people that speak Texas German. My dad was Czech and spoke German fluently. He said it's an interesting mix of the two with English thrown in. But the food there is amazing.
Tmw you go to the most German town in America and discover there is nothing German about it. I don't know whether to laugh or be offended at the stereotypes in those places😂. When you look up "tourist trap" in the dictionary, there's a picture of Helen, Georgia. 😂😂😂
I’m not even German, but it almost makes me offended on their behalf because this is almost like a joke or just trying to call Americans stupid. No way these two idiots are serious 😂
Sweet mustard is common in Bavaria, that is true, but only with Weisswurst! And you know, Weisswurst can NOT hear the noon bell of the church. So it is basically breakfast. You are NOT supposed to cut a Weisswurst, but you suck it out of the casing through one end. And you drink a Weissbier with it. Basically, you are encouraged, in the very southern part of Bavaria, to drink bier for breakfast. True story - I am from Bavaria, living in Arizona.
Most of the “early” German immigrants were from Bavaria… so it’s not unexpected that “German themed” villages/towns and restaurants or “cultural” places are mostly Bavarian “vibes.” (Bavaria was mostly agricultural, back then… and it was common for the eldest son to inherit the family property… and the rest of his siblings got nothing and had to work for pennies, under the eldest. Because America offered the opportunity to…. eventually…. own land and be one’s own boss… some of the “poor siblings” emigrated.) If you get a chance… check out some places in Wisconsin. Lots of German speaking immigrant descendent are there. You may also want to look into Fredericksburg TX. (The later is similar to Helen, in vibe… but you may still run into some little old lady or man, who speaks an old version of “German.”) If you ever visit South America… you could also see some “German” towns. Most of those folks are people that fled Germany after the war… or their descendants. (Potentially former Nazis, running from “retribution.”)
Actually, the cake was invented by Mrs. George Clay from Dallas.. Sam German developed the dark chocolate, called German's Sweet Chocolate, which gives the cake its name. It was originally called German's Sweet Chocolate cake.
Knockwurst could be fauxpas for Knackwurst, it's an Austrian sausage that's kind of like a bloated, not so long Frankfurter sausage and it's called that way because it "knackt" when you bite in it. Here it's also poular to grill it. I think it's similar to the German Bockwurst.
Or it could be a contraction of Bockwurst and Knackwurst. A Bockwurst is like a thicker, chunkier Wiener sausage (get your minds out of the gutter, kiddies 😂) and a Knackwurst would a sausage with an extra kick of snap to it when bitten into. However I've never heard of that in Germany either.
To me, a Knackwurst is a more red, coarse sausage, often with cumin or garlic, in a ring or straight and dried/smoked. A bit like a salami but not as dense
We call it Frankfurter, not Knackwurst, du Knackwurst. And the German ppl call it ...Wiener. We love or hate each other so much that we eat each other.
@@silviahannak3213 Well, in Vienna we call it Knackwurst, if it is a double sized (thicker and shorter) Frankfurter. And after cutting it into two halfs and then frying it in a pan we call it suddenly Augsburger. Maybe there is a slight difference in the recipe for Frankfurter (which are called Wiener in Germany) and Knacker, but not much for sure.
I love to go to Helen to float the river in the summer. It’s so nice, I’ve always wanted to go in September when they have their October fest. The river is the best attraction there imo.
I lived in Germany from 2005 - 2008. My family and I went to Garmish - Partenkirchen several times. On Sunday we did see people dressed in traditional lederhosen, boiled wool jackets with silver buttons and dirndls. These people seemed to be going to church.
When I have gone hiking in Der Rhoen, near Fulda, Hesse, I have seen many people wearing Tracht, mostly men, I even had my own hiking outfit! My cousin wore a Loden Jacke in the winter. and a felt hat with the goat hair in the silver horn!
Should've gone to Gatlinburg, TN at the foot of the Smokey Mountains. It's VERY touristy, but it's built along those Bavarian style houses and whatnot. Helen is just 120 south of Gatlinburg...straight as a crow's fly. That area must've been heavily settled by Germans.
Helen was a planned city for a german themed town, Gatlinburg tried to be but failed on the most part their oktoberfest is not taken seriously on the most part and not advertised heavily either
Guten tag! Thank you so much for making this very informative and enjoyable video. I learned alot from it. I didn't know that a town like this exists in the East Coast of USA. I'd love to check it out one of these days. Thanks again for making this video.
Go to the American food section of your local store and the way the media potrays us. It’s offensive to be honest, but at the same time sometimes accurate
Goodness, Deana and her sexual innuendos whenever Phil starts munching on anything long 😂 But yeah, as a German I can see this isn't authentic. It's basically Disney World, without the rides. Glad you still had a good time, though! At least there was a decent Radler!
I find Deana and her sexual innuendos charming, funny and sexual ! I bet she 's wild and lots of fun in bed ! Phil is a very lucky man to have her and he should cherish her !
As an American, born and raised, and having never travelled outside the country, I have to say that I never thought most present-day Germans or Germany would look like it is portrayed in these towns. I can't speak for everyone of course, but from my perspective this is a nice fun quaint way to remember the old days. Kind of like going to a 50's diner. People like to step outside themselves and visit other cultures. We still see Octoberfest celebrations where some of these things are demonstrated, and it seems like fun. When you go to Santa's village you don't think that Santa really lives there do you? That being said, I do understand how you feel. It still makes me queezy to hear people say "merican". Or to think that everyone outside our country thinks we all walk around carrying weapons, or we are gang members. The movie studios love to portray culture so that it makes their movie fun, which in turn can present a country's people in a bad (or incorrect) light.
My husband was German from West Berlin he passed away a year and a half ago seeing all this makes me so sad , I miss him so much he was my whole world and I was his 😭😭🥺🥺
I always liked your videos and I must say it feels as if you have further improved your storytelling techniques and utilizing your humor. I love this video. Thx for taking us along.
St. Augustin wasn't built for tourist, St. Augustine is the oldest settlement in the US. St. Augustine was settled by the French before the Mayflower reached New England.
Live in Blue Ridge, GA but have been in Bavaria (Vilseck) with military since last October and enjoying the experience. Small Bavarian towns are incredible and the people even nicer!
I think Americans are nostalgic and we want to see what things were like a long time ago. My 23 yr old got to visit Germany briefly last fall and she is so excited to know she has a lot of German ancestry. She only went to the Beer-garden on her way to Italy, but she had a fun time. She loved the pretzels and beer. Thanks for this video. My dad wold call it a tourist trap.
Please cheer up Phil, most Americans can recognize a tourist trap when we see one. And we expect a tourist trap to be very kitchy and not at all realistic, or true to current reality. Most of us would only expect to see a German wearing lederhosen or a dirndl for special festivals.
One of the things I like most when I visit Germany is the high quality, low cost of the food. Your in a tourist town and they are taking advantage. They also prob. lost a lot of business during the pandemic so they raised the prices.
Born and raised in Germany as an Army Brat. Spent most of those years in Munich (where my Mother is from) and Bad Tolz. Now living in Washington State for the last 20 years. Have visited Leavenworth many times. It’s nice to experience if you haven’t done so, but it sure can’t compare to the real Bavaria. It is beautiful in the Winter as it sits at the base of the mountains. In the Summer it has great camping, fishing, hiking etc. The scenery is breathtaking. Come visit!!! Prost!!!
Im guessing its not meant to represent germany of today, but rather more the 1600's. We dont do modern theme parks in the US, at least not to represent a foreign country (that i have seen at least). Basically a "romanticized" version
Been there years ago, my Uncle-in-law took us for the day while visiting him in Georgia, it was so cool. I loved sitting the the Beer Garden even though I didn't drink any beer & looking at all the shops/houses. I'd go back & have a beer this time. 😉🍻 Prost !!
Parking: the problem is, there are often no 1h or 2h prices. $10 is a lot when you park only 2h, but it‘s OK for a full day. I was in Vegas a few days ago. 1st hour free, 1-3 hours $15. Like a slap in your face when you manage to come back after 70 minutes. America rips you off where it can and the Americans don’t even care because they’re used to it. In Disneyland CA you pay extra for parking! Though a one day ticket for an adult cost s >$150! For one day!!!! Wetter: was beneide ich euch? Bin gerade in Kalifornien (SoCal) und hier ist es kalt, meist bewölkt und feucht.
You talk like Germany is cheaper. There is a reason life is the way it is when its being manipulated. Do you expect government subsidize these prices for you or are you just waiting for New Nazi regime take over?
He'd probably be stumped. Most Amish speak a variant of Plattdeutsch, which is related to middle-German, but it is in fact its own distinct language different enough that even a proficient German speaker won't understand them.
Absolutely meets the definition of tourist trap but must be appreciated in light of its history. In the 1960’s Helen was a dying logging town that transformed itself into a “German” village. The town was saved and is what you see in this video. Are the locals better off than they would have been? Probably, compared to some other similar towns. And it’s fun to go see, once.
I was hoping the video would have been a trip to Frankenmuth! Deana and Phil, you must visit there sometime. They also have the world’s largest Christmas store!
The Not so Pure Michigan Frankenmuth parody pretty much sums up a significant number of people's feelings regarding Frankenmuth and Bronner's. 😂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b-3bQ2mBg7E.html
I live in Georgia and used to visit Helen (just 90 minutes away) until I was able to visit Germany for a month. I can't bring myself to go back to Helen now, it's too disappointing. I have been back to Germany 3 other times, 30 days, 11 days and 10 days, it is my favorite country to visit. There are castles that you can stay overnight in Germany, one is Colmberg Castle - Burg Colmberg Hotel & Restaurant.
Phil, America has this romanticized version of Germany. We grew up listening to our grandparents and great grandparents talking about it. My family came from Hannover about 1860 and I am going there for my first time in August and I have started to pay attention to “German” things in the US. It’s kind of annoying. I’m in Texas and there is a big German history here especially out towards the Hill Country that I want to check out before going to compare to real Germany. I was in Galveston last weekend and they had a German restaurant so I tried it. The Beer was good but the food was so bad I almost could not eat it but then I have been to a German festival in Tomball, Tx where the food was excellent so here you never know what you’re going to get. I’m excited to experience Hannover for myself even if it is known as “The most boring city in Germany” LOL
Hannover isnt the most boring city in Germany, that's an exaggeration, I've been there multiple times. It's just not a place to be if you are in your 20s and wanna have lots of fun.
My paternal grandmother's family, the Schaafs (I think it is derived from sheep herders) came to NYC in the late 1800. I was able to trace them back to 1620 Geiselberg (Geiseberg), which is in Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinpfalz). About 20km from Kaiserslautern. I know about Pennsylvanian Dutch (it's actually Deutsch) and about Texas German (New Breunsfel, between Austin and San Antonio).
@@jamiereining1559 A city is a city, it's nothing special. Visit little villages or towns with old houses, sometimes 500+ years, look at the little things that are not made for tourists. Walk on a hill and see the little villages around there, that is what Germany is. 😉
@@klauskleber5154 my main reason for going to Hannover is because that is where my family came from and I would like to see where they came from even if it is very different today. I’m excited to any place in Germany and after almost a week in Hannover I will be taking the train to Vienna, Austria during the day to be able to see more of it.
Such a cool place! My Dad took me Helen one one of my trips down to see him. We got my sister a pair of the wooden shoe slippers for Christmas and had lunch at The Troll Tavern too🤣👍🏻
Enjoyed the video... anytime you go somewhere like that you are going to pay extra for everything...As if prices weren't bad enough already... LOL I am a 81 year old grandmother.... have always wanted to visit Germany... My great-grandfather Mohr was born and raised in Germany... he made homemade sauerkraut... we use to sneak some from the containers they had it in in the basement lol. I watch "German in Venice" on youtube. He visited his mom in Germany a few months back. Showed us so many interesting things ... will never make it there, so Truely enjoyed all his videos. Thank you for sharing. Hope your vissit was a great one.
Many German imergrants came over in 1900's and many villages might have that flavor, Also WW I &II German Americans often stopped speaking German. Even often changing ther names to fit in!!!!
I went to Helen before it was remodeled. In my 20’s I conceived my first child there and we trout fished. At 65 we went tubing down the same river. We ate in the same restaurant. I love red cabbage. I like German potato salad. Overpriced. We used to go camping.
This video caused me to laugh out loud on several occasions, thank you! Could've done without the regurgitating food shots, but they didn't keep me from watching. What you experienced is, unfortunately, what most of the U.S. thinks about Germany. It's what i thought Germany was like before i was blessed by being able to spend almost a year there. The rebuilding after WW2 recreated a lot of the pre war construction, but over (just guessing) 90% of that beautiful country is as modern, and most of it more so, than the U.S. They are years ahead of us in public transportation, smart energy, and common sense in a lot of areas. Still consider our U.S. of freaking A to be the greatest ever, but think that it's time that we take off the blinders and do what other countries are doing that would really improve our way of life.
I thought you might have been in Frankenmuth, MI! In addition to being a "little Bavaria" it's known for Zehnder's famous fried chicken and Bronner's, the world's largest Christmas store.
@@karenjones2548 Ditto. I hear "Most German town in America" and my mind goes directly to Frankenmuth. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. It's an actual city, not a "set up town". There are city rules about construction and new buildings have to have a "Bavarian" style look, and there are all kinds of stores for the tourists. As a kid, my favorite place to window shop was the fudge shop. (It's a tourist trap in Michigan. Of COURSE it has a fudge place.)
Welcome to the capital of Kitsch! That's probably what you get when Americans, so proud of their so-called heritage, try to turn their heritage into a themepark. Kitsch!
Also, Michigan doesn't mix German with Dutch They have their own cool town on the other side of the state, in Holland, Michigan, which is awesome in its own way.
That was a Boston Cream donut. Bavarian cream donuts usually don't have any chocolate covering (usually just powdered) & the cream itself is different.
Thank you for doing a turn through Helen. Loved it! As everyone says, it is most definitely a tourist trap. However, the town was designed that way for that very purpose ie "Germany for poor folk" lol. When you see people there wearing lederhosen shorts, dirndls, knee/calf warmers socks and "Bavarian" hats it is essentially mirroring the Munich Oktoberfest attire which is somewhat traditional for that event. So in that regard it was obviously never intended to resemble "modern" Germany in architecture, cuisine or attire --but to be a "fun" 24/7/365 Oktoberfest vibe. One of the cool things about Helen is the fact that you can actually find many (if not most) of the official 6 Munich Oktoberfest beers (Paulaner, Hacker Pschorr, Hoffbrau, Spaten etc) *on tap* and served in masskrugs. Which isn't available in most of the US. *Also fwiw regarding St Aug: at the very least they can legit claim they're the "oldest city in America" and actually mean it. Even if much of it is just period facade.
Washington State has Levenworth; alpine buildings, skiing, Wineries. Wenatchee River, Waterfront Park is a habitat for ospreys and eagles, summer outdoor theater. Lots of stuff.
I live about 25 mins from Helen; it seems that back in the day they tried to be a bit more German (town meetings opened in German, mayor was officially titled Bürgermeister, etc.) But in the last 40 years or so its sadly devolved into purely tourist trap. Although, the bakery, Hofer's, does employ some waitresses who can speak a bit of German, if you were to order it from them. Some of the other restaurants, not so much. While I didn't see much of Germany while in the US military, (Bavaria and Wurttemberg), I find it interesting that the area my family came from (Gingen an der Fils) has many geographic similarities to the northeast Georgia Appalachians. A lot of the people here have some Palatinate or Swabian ancestry from 300-400 years ago. We think it's ridiculously expensive in Helen too. Thanks for visiting the area! If you come back, go places nearby and learn about the Cherokee Indian heritage of the area. Blessings!
Part of the reason for the high cost of that meal is because you’re in a tourist town it’s just like eating in a theme park like Disney World they have you trapped and they’re gonna milk it for all it’s worth. And none of that meal looked that great to me my mother could make a better meal.
I always like it when you call Deanna dude..lol. I also enjoyed your reverse play on you food. I would NEVER pay that much for your bratwurst and knockwurst. If I want a good and real German food in Winnipeg, then I will go to a German deli that makes all of this stuff for 1/3 of the cost. Their sausages are to die for, like white brost,etc. All homemade. Polish, Hungarian, andouille and fresh or dried pepperoni.
