After touring Sutter's Fort, we were hungry. Time to find a restaurant. Our German heritage was lurking around in our DNA, pushing us toward a beer and brats place. We found it here:
Decisions, decisions. What should we order?? We were doing our best to find the wurst......
The bratwurst were served on pretzel rolls, and topped with caramelized onions and bier cheese. These juicy babies were indeed the best of the wurst. We were treated to a free sample of Dirty Duck Fries, which are covered with bier cheese sauce, onions, garlic and hot peppers. They had a definite kick to them!
Not only did we have a great meal, we had the chance to meet Michael, one of the owners. He gave us a brief history of LowBrau, which opened in 2012. He is an architect and when the bank asked him if he and his partner had experience in running a restaurant, he answered "No. But we have some great ideas!"
The ideas worked. All the meats in the restaurant are made in house, including the sausages. He expanded the kitchen and opened the Butcher Block Bar, where you can see people hard at work in the immaculate area.
The case of hanging sausages reminded me of the butcher shops in Germany. If we ever get back to Sacramento, we'll go back here in a heart beat!
