The Crown Jewel: Hermann’s Signature German Platter
The German Platter stands as the centerpiece of Hermann Wurst Haus’s Oktoberfest celebration, and for good reason. This carefully crafted meal features two premium bratwursts, each one a testament to traditional German sausage-making expertise. The rich, smoky flavors burst with every bite, delivering the authentic taste that makes bratwurst a cornerstone of German cuisine.
What elevates this platter beyond the ordinary is the thoughtful pairing of sides that complement the robust flavors of the bratwurst. Wurstmeister Mike, the resident expert who knows German cuisine inside and out, recommends two standout accompaniments that transform a simple meal into a culinary adventure.
The housemade German Potato Salad represents comfort food at its finest. Unlike typical American potato salads, this Germanic version delivers warm, hearty flavors enhanced by generous portions of crispy bacon. Each spoonful combines creamy potatoes with the smoky richness of bacon, creating a side dish that holds its own alongside the star bratwurst.
Paired with the potato salad, the tangy red cabbage provides the perfect acidic counterpoint to the rich, savory elements of the platter. This traditional German preparation offers a bright, flavorful contrast that cleanses the palate and prepares you for the next delicious bite. The combination of sweet and sour notes in the cabbage creates a complex flavor profile that showcases why German cuisine has conquered hearts worldwide. See Full Menu
