| - Hot dog? Hot DAMN! Who doesn't like a juicy sausage? I know I sure do.
Wvrst is a noisy mess-hall type establishment that reminds me of high school, but with less cliques, more alcohol, and actually good food. On Friday evening at 6:15pm, it was like getting into the club. There was a line that went down the stairs and out the door, with bouncer-type dudes letting people in whenever other people left. When you get inside, everyone is sitting beside each other at large wooden tables, or lining up at the ordering station or bar. You'll never get bored of their drink list, as they have a very long list of beers on a rotational basis. Not as many affordable options for cider and the one I got had a funky aftertaste (reminds me of the way a farm smells).
If hot dogs and fries are your thing, then Wvrst is your home because that's pretty much all they serve. They've got regular sausages, and then game sausages (bison, rabbit, kangaroo???) done two ways: hot dog style or currywurst style. Currywurst means chopped up with tomato curry and a piece of bread, all served on a wooden platter. Game sausages aren't recommended for currywurst style though.
I tried the wild boar (with mushroom and tea) with sauerkraut and caramelized onions. Definitely a fan of the sausage, it was juicy and exploded on impact. I regret putting a little too much ketchup as I think the taste of the meat itself was fantastic. Also got a large order of their award-winning duck fat fries. Even though I didn't really taste duck fat, they were some of the best fries I've ever had. They come with two dipping sauces and I highly recommend the black pepper.
There are two things I regret not trying. One: the rosemary soft serve with crispy duck bits, which must be some sort of heavenly dinner/dessert hybrid. Two: you can add cheese to your hot dog. But not just any cheese. They grab a wheel of raclette cheese, melt/slightly burn the top with a lamp torch device, and scrape all that gooey goodness straight onto your dog. If you could describe cheese as sexy, this would be the time.
