Wurstkuche - Amazing Gourmet Sausages and Craft Beers

Time to head to Los Angeles for another food adventure! My friend Kristen and I were off and heading to Wurstkuche for sausages and craft beers!
You can expect the wait to be outside their sliding wooden doors during peak meals times but once you get inside you can order drinks while you are waiting to order. There are 24 craft beers to choose from.
Kristen ordered this delicious Mr. Q. Cumber, a sweet, refreshing cucumber infused water.
There are so many tasty choices awaiting you. How do you choose?
I decided to go with the pheasant. I mean how many places can you get a pheasant sausage?
You also get to choose two toppings to put on your grilled sausage. I went with caramelized onions and spicy peppers. The pheasant tasted very close to a pork sausage but lighter and not as greasy. It was absolutely delicious.
There is also a variety of mustard to choose from if you so desire.
There are also Belgian fries and various dipping sauces. I got the small order of fries which was still pretty substantial. The small order comes with your choice of one dipping sauce. I went with the curry ketchup which was wonderful. The curry was not overpowering but just gave the ketchup an added boost of flavor.
My friend Kristen went with the vegetarian smoked apple sage. She added the caramelized onion and the sweet peppers. The sage was a bit overpowering but the sausage was still delicious.

A great place for a great lunch and a beer or two. Ample seating in the back and a small outdoor patio as well.  You can even buy the sausages to go. They will cook them for you or you can get them raw at a discount. I think the next time I will go and bring some of the sausages back to grill at home.

The Pie Hole - Must Have The Earl Grey Tea Pie!

Thank you Kristen for the use of your awesome photo!
Time to venture out of the OC area for another review in the Los Angeles area! Thanks to my friend Erin who told me about this wonderful spot in Los Angeles for coffee and Earl Grey Tea Pie! that's right - you heard correct - Earl Grey Tea Pie! Let that sink in for awhile! Ok ready to take a look at this masterpiece? Here we go...
The prize is on the right there but as many of you know I know apple and that apple double crust will be on my come back to try list!
Here she is - the Earl Grey Tea Pie in all of it's glory! It looks so light and delicate! I cannot wait to sink into it!

First bite - rich, creamy, dreamy. Just so light and delicious. The Early Grey Tea is mixed into the cream and the flavor of the tea is very subtle.
Pair the slice of pie with a regular cup of coffee. Anything more and it will be too much of an overload of richness and sweetness in your mouth. The pie needs to be experienced on it's own flavor palette so the straight up black cup of drip coffee is perfect. Next time though I will pair it with a cup of Early Grey Tea. Perhaps too much of a good thing? We shall find out on my next visit!
