Before DönerMen were awarded Chicago Food Truck of the Year they started with a simple idea; bring German Imbiss (street food) to Chicago. Where Bavarian beer hall fare is what Americans have come to think of as German food, Imbiss is a popular and rich side of German cuisine that draws from various intersecting food cultures. Try Currywurst, a post-war Berlin invention combining Indian spices via British Imperialism and German sausage in one dish. Or try the other DönerMen stalwart, Döner Kebab, a marriage of flavors brought to Germany by Turkish immigrants in the early 1970’s, packaged for the fast pace of modern Berlin. Sound highfalutin? It’s not. You know how the U.S. has tex-mex? This is sort of a Ger-Turk. Or is it Turk-Ger? Either way it’s delicious.
You can now find DönerMen year round at DMen Tap, their Chicago north side watering hole for fans of fantasy and sci-fi.
