Why did I have to find out about this place AFTER my trip to Germany.
After having some dope-ass schweinshaxe IN Germany it was exciting to see this! Everything felt familiar. All the way to the white bricks and the dim as fuck lights in there (maybe make it not as dim haha. After a few pints and the loud music, things get disorienting)
Whether it be the way the Germans raise their pigs to the way they marinate/roast it/fry it/whatever. Toronto was not even close to achieving the same mind blowing flavour that they can. The slaw that was underneath the actual hock was hard for me to eat. The hock it self was way too fatty and not enough meat.
Had their sauerkraut fritters there and they are TINY. Not worth it for the price $5,60. I also had their hunter sandwich with their roast pork belly. Now THATS something worth talking about.
I know I've only had one visit there but I know I won't get anything other than their platters with friends (just for the grandiose fun of it and communal style sharing) and their sandwiches.
When you say Prost. Make sure to give eye contact to whomever's glass your clinking with. Otherwise it's 7 years bad sex!
