Bratwurst

American hot dogs were first made from German sausages that were imported to the country, according to DiLuigi Foods, although brats first gained popularity in Milwaukee. The first brats were served during a baseball game in Milwaukee County Stadium in 1954, and now, brat sales at American Family Field surpass those of hotdogs.

Milwaukee is home to several locations where brats may be found, but a few should be at the top of your list. One benefit is that you can choose from a variety of brats at the Milwaukee Brat House, all of which are offered to you under one roof. Also available are excellent local beers and the well-known cheese curd appetizer. Go directly to the source and visit Usinger's for some of the city's most adored brats. Milwaukee residents have enjoyed these brat recipes for more than 140 years; they date back to 1880. Make sure to check for Usinger's on Milwaukee restaurant menus and when you go to the sausage shop.
