Ypsilanti, MI - Wurst Bar; I always really enjoy a place that has a friendly atmosphere, good food,
and culinary creativity. They took familiar food and helped spin them
into new ideas, new flavors, while still being playful.
I wanted
to try the whole menu but had to limit myself to pimento cheese dip,
sweet potato tots, rabbit brat, rattlesnake brat, turducken brat, and
PBR brat. Do I need to say that I was pretty full at the end of dinner? I
do admit that I had friends there to help me with all of this food.
The
pimento cheese dip was sized well with being small. Your getting ready
to eat these brats that all come on pretzel buns, the last thing you
want is more bread. They have a nice pretzel hard shell, soft on the
inside and lightly salted. The cheese spreads and is deliciously creamy
together.
The tots was a new idea and none of us had seen sweet
potato present in this fashion. Extra credit for creativity. The crunch
and taste is spot on for tots with the extra sweetness that all other
servings of tots lack.
My favorite brat was the PBR that delivers
a good snap from the casing and spices with the sausage. My least
favorite award goes to the turducken, which wasn't bad, just not as
flavorful as any of the others. I was mostly interest in the rabbit and
the rattlesnake. Both were very good, all had the casing snap, but both
of these are mixed with a variety of spices that cover the flavors of
the meat. If your going to really try the unique flavors of the meat,
you'll be disappointed. If your not adventurous and scared to try
exotic meats, then they are perfect for you since they don't have strong
flavors.
The brats can come with a variety of choices for
toppings that include: marinated peppers, sautéed onions, and kimchi
slaw. Ask your server which ones compliment your brat the best.
We
finished with a sampling of mochi! A Japanese dessert made of rice cake
that's made into a paste with ice cream inside. The serving size was
small so it was difficult to eat with a spoon to cut it, so if you
basically shoot it like a shot, it was the best way to go.
