Renovated Display Room
The moment you step in, you’ll notice how much more spacious the deli area is now. They’ve clearly put thought into the customer flow, with more room to browse their expanded selection. The renovation has transformed the space into a more modern, customer-friendly environment while still maintaining that authentic German deli charm.

At the deli counter, I had the pleasure of sampling some of their sausages – a nice touch that helps you make informed choices. The staff’s knowledge and willingness to help really enhanced the shopping experience.

Perfect Grilling Guide
Having just grilled their Italian sausage ropes on a Weber charcoal grill, here’s my tried-and-true method for perfect results:
Preparation:
- Remove sausages from refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling
- Set up your Weber for two-zone cooking (coals on one side)
- Let coals turn gray with ash before cooking
- Clean and oil grates to prevent sticking
Grilling Process:
- Start sausages on the indirect heat side
- Close lid and maintain temperature around 350°F
- Turn sausages every 5-7 minutes
- After 15 minutes, move to direct heat for finishing
- Grill over flames just until nicely browned
- Look for internal temperature of 160°F
Pro Tips:
- Don’t pierce the casing during cooking
- Use tongs instead of a fork to turn
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving
- For rope style, curl the sausage like a spiral on the grill
