Why it tastes the way it does here

Not all sausages are the same sausages. Our Röstla® are – for us at least – the pinnacle of enjoyment. Let’s lift the pot lid a little bit and find out on what we put special emphasis on in our kitchen, so that it tastes so good here at the “gulden Stern”.

It is obvious that everything revolves around the sausage with us. But not only with us. The Nuremberg Rostbratwurst is a cultural asset that is appreciated not only in Franconia and Bavaria, but throughout Germany and the world. Of course, some people smell a good deal, and so it quickly happens that a big sausage entrepreneur and soccer official turns this cultural asset into fast money with a fast-food chain.

With Röstla® an original taste

It is true that the recipe for Nuremberg bratwursts is laid down in the guild book of the Nuremberg butchers’ guild and manifested in the EU as a quality classification of “geographically protected indication” (PGI). However, Martin Hilleprandt realized early on that this alone would not be enough to protect the Nuremberg Rostbratwurst. Therefore, in 2013, he introduced the Röstla® brand, which has even more far-reaching prerequisites. “Original Nürnberger Röstla®” means that the bratwurst has not only been produced according to the regulations of the butchers’ guild, but that it is guaranteed to have come from a Nuremberg butcher and has been placed raw – in other words, not previously treated in a deep fryer or pre-broiled – on the grill and roasted over beech wood.

And this is exactly how our bratwursts – the heart of our menu – have always been brought to the plate.

We obtain the original Nuremberg grilled sausages from the Nuremberg butcher’s shop Pfettner, which has been run by the Pfettner family since 1928 and which places special demands on quality, freshness and regional origin of the animals.

Preparation according to grandma’s style

We also have high standards when it comes to side dishes. In principle: Convinience products are not allowed in our kitchen. Everything is freshly prepared with fresh ingredients. For example, we get our potatoes and our salads from the Burger family, directly from Nuremberg.
We are especially proud of our sauerkraut. We get the cabbage from the Kraft family from Lonnerstadt. It is cut in the Bratwurst kitchen, stored in a barrel and then prepared in the traditional, original way – grandma’s way. To be honest: Grandma’s recipe is top secret and will not be revealed. After all, we want to hear the phrase often in the future: “This is the best sauerkraut I have ever eaten”.
