"Wursthall is a lively beer hall and restaurant best known for its diverse selection of sausages, including al pastor, choripan, pesto chicken, and porchetta options. Their take on mac and cheese features house-made egg spaetzle, beer, butterkase, and muenster. Heat lovers can’t miss Kenji’s Korean hot chicken sandwich dusted in aromatic chiles. Legend has it there’s an occult-themed speakeasy past the bookshelf downstairs (reservation only)." - Octavio Peña
"The San Mateo restaurant is delivering “relief boxes” to hospitals and shelters throughout the Bay Area. You can purchase a meal box here" - team infatuation
"Offering German-style bratwursts, pretzels, and beers to go, including a “sausage party” for four." - Becky Duffett
"A recently opened Bay Area restaurant led by cookbook author and chef-partner Kenji López-Alt that became the center of controversy after he tweeted he would refuse service to patrons wearing “Make America Great Again” caps, comparing them to KKK hoods and swastikas; the tweet was deleted amid accusations of discrimination and a flurry of local and national headlines. López-Alt later clarified that patrons of all political views are welcome but that publicly displayed bigotry would not be tolerated, apologized to staff and partners for making a public statement without consulting his team, cited threatening emails and staff-safety concerns, and emphasized that restaurant policy was not being changed while urging diners to leave hate, anger, and violence outside." - Whitney Filloon
"While not a watch party, J. Kenji López-Alt’s German-inspired beer hall will be basically giving out free beer on election day. Tell your server the secret password “Wurst Vote” and get a Kolsch or soft drink for $.18." - Janelle Bitker
