HOT DOG LOVERS HEAVEN!

This is a one of a kind place. It is not a franchise. The variety of sausages are ALL fresh, taste home-made and are well-priced. It is a "specialty" place for those who enjoy (or who think they MIGHT enjoy!) German sausages, with or without the bun. My favorite is "The Swiss", a white meat, tender and mild veal sausage that melts in your mouth. There are also a variety of German-themed side dishes that come included with "The Meal" for $8.95. I like the saurkraut and grilled onions, which are especially tasty---unlike what you've ever had before. I stop by about once a week, but I'm lucky and live in the neighborhood. We foodies need more "Mom & Pop" places like this in our world! They really care about what they serve!

• Pros: Delicious Variety of Sausages, Friendly service, Very social
• Cons: Street parking

I hate to admit the food is healthy

I could get kicked out of the Macho Brat Club, but this joint serves the freshest, most non additive treated sausages I've ever had. The selection is sick - chicken, beef, pork, alligator, wild boar, lamb, duck, and the Brats are grilled to order and served with a choice of like ten sides.

I discovered Brats Bros online, and have been there a half dozen times in the last couple of months. I even brought a friend who is a veggie, and she had Spaetzel (a crazy German mac and cheese) and a beautiful freshly baked pretzel.

You can get a full meal for $8.95 - a Brat, 2 sides and a drink, and you will leave full and happy.

I should mention that the owner, Roland, is a kick. When he's not dealing with overflow crowds, he takes the time to discuss the various brat options, and you can tell he loves the food as much as we customers do. Great time.

• Pros: quality, selection, price, vibe
• Cons: too small! The place needs to grow

The best brats in Los Angeles, hands down!

How can you pass by a place like this and not try it? You'd have to be an idiot. Yes, you. You're an idiot for not trying this place.

So, you're worried about your cholesterol? Wimp. Eat a brat. You will thank me later when you are in food ecstasy.

And try the cheese spatzle. You will have the most amazing cheesy pasta dish of your life, and it comes with a bonus umlaut at no charge. The pretzels taste like eating a magic cloud that rains pretzel-goodness all over your face. Yes - it's so good that it doesn't have to make sense.

• Pros: Food quality, price, value, Roland is the coolest guy ever
• Cons: Small, hard to find
