"Visitors in the market for currywurst often gravitate to the big names like Curry 36 or Konnopke’s Imbiss — both of which are fine. But locals prefer Curry Baude, little more than a window tacked on the side of the Gesundbrunnen U-Bahn station. Owned by butcher Reina Lehmann, Baude offers a quality-to-price ratio that’s off the charts, a sausage that attains crispy-yet-juicy equilibrium, and a ketchup-to-curry ratio that’s near perfect. Sure, the service may be gruff, even by German standards, but that’s part of the charm." - Tim Forster
