One of the best meals I’ve ever had was crispy pork knuckle at Peter’s Brauhaus in Köln. Their Kölsch was very good and the pork was so tender I could pull it off with the fork. Outside of that? Hmmm. Texas brisket. I really enjoy watching you guys as I miss authentic German fare.

[@silkedavid8876]

I live in England 4 years ago I was in Cologne for a concert (flying to Cologne, Hotel, concert entry was cheaper than seeing the English band locally). I went to a neighbourhood pub , they had Bratwurst mit Bratkartoffeln und Moehren-Lauch-in-weisser-sauce. THE BEST MEAL EVER!!

We love the German food when we visit. Growing up in a German household in Wisconsin. We grew up eating all of that food. Our pork shanks were only cooked with the cabbage which left the skin soft. I so much love the crispy skin. So much love a true sparnsferkle. Prosit

[@fipsvonfipsenstein6704]

For the crispy skin you should visit Bavaria ... but take out good dental insurance beforehand and it is best to bring a Hilti as well. Oh, and it´s written Spanferkel (In German, everything you can touch is written with a capital letter. Even if you can only touch it once, like a Hochspannungsleitung (high-voltage line).)

[@ottovonbismarck2443]

That's the difference between "Eisbein" and "Haxe". Although essentially the same piece of meat (note: Haxe can also be veal), Haxe is the way to go. I never liked that wobbly Eisbein which Oma or Mama used to cook.

I'm living in the US since 1999 and just recently went back to Germany for my first visit in almost 20 years. Guys, I had NO idea how much I was missing all the foods that you only get there ... or only get there done the right way! Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of good food in the US, too, but especially when it comes to Wurst, Braten and Backwaren, the German culinary art is just unrivaled.

[@1977mrjeff]

Cologne is such a cool town. I was there a few weeks ago. One of the most tourist friendly cities I’ve ever been to in Germany. Exactly what I was looking for. I walked my ass off in that town. My phone said I walked damn near 15 miles in one day. Kölsch beer is delicious as well. The best beer I’ve drank in Germany.

Hey Deana and Phil, I'm Jade new supporter of your channel and it's nice to meet you. If you are exploring any German culture, you can count me in because I love Germany. German pastries are looking so good that I would love to try them for sure, so yummy! I am starting to learn some German language which is not very difficult for me but sounds kinda weird sometimes.

[@petereggers7603]

Guys, you picked the right place! This bakery is one of the best and a place to go when I'm in Cologne. Their bread is awesome and the Möhrenvollkornbrot @0:30 my absolute favorite (whole grain flour and corn, carots and green pepper corns in it). Another very traditional and highly recommanded bakery is only some 400m away on Ehrenstrasse. At Bäckerei Zimmermann you get (beside other specialties) a spectacular Schwarzbrot, made the rhenish way (not like Pumpernickel). If you're looking for an authentic Cologne Brauhaus pls go to Päffgen in Friesenstrasse (not the two ones in the Altstadt!).

[@heatherbrewington5362]

I lived in the Bitburg area for 4 years. My husband was in the Air Force. I want to come back over for an extended vacation ( 3-4 weeks), but it will have to wait for a bit longer. I miss the food, wine, and the people!

[@ruudcologne]

Next time in Cologne: Check out Brauhaus Pütz in Engelbertstraße near Rudolfplatz, guys. The best! With delicious Mühlen-Kölsch and yummie food. And for the best Döner go Keupstraße in Deutz. Ridiculouos choice of excellent food and cool concert locations round the corner (E-Werk, Club Volta...).

As a in Cologne-area grown up, I recommend the baker Merzenich and the " Apfelberliner ". At Neumarkt they make them fresh almost hourly. If I return for a visit, its a must for me. Generally Merzenich is top notch- so good. And rievkooche is cologne-dialect for Reibekuchen/potato pancakes. Typically eaten with Zuckerrübensirup, Pumpernickel-bread or Salmon. yummy !

After watching one of your other videos when you were talking about Mett I had recently purchased some Mettwurst and looked at the package and indeed it is raw and they tell you to cook it. Having grown up around my grandparents and eating it right out of the package I was shocked by that instruction because we never cooked Mettwurst we just spread it on the Ryebread 😋

You can cook it, alright. To me, it’s kinda like a denser version of Hackfleisch/tartar

In the years when I and a few friends were in Cologne on evenings during carnival, we always went to "Zum Spanferkel" and got us a Spanferkelbrötchen, usually the most basic one, just a good piece of juicy, spit-roasted pork in a bread roll, nothing else. Easy to hold and eat, even in a crowd.

[@bjoern0975]

When you go to Cologne the next time, you should focus away from the Dom / Hbf / Altstadt area and go out a little more west - not far from where you went to the bakery. Check out the areas around Brüsseler Platz (Belgisches Viertel), Aachener Straße, and south of Rudolfplatz. As a charming Brauhaus, in that area there is Pütz at Engelbertstraße, for example. Other than that, the area is packed with daytime and nighttime cafes and restaurants, bars, boutiques etc.. For a traditional, old-worldly (1960s style) Kaffee und Kuchen you may want to go to Café Konditorei Wahlen, for veggie and non-veggie all-day international breakfasts and pancakes to St. Louis Breakfast Club near beautiful Rathenauplatz.

@@doke889 OK, I live in Nuremberg, the Christkindlmarkt is nothing special for me and way too many tourists. But I know the phenomenon, that everything tastes so much better when you are on vacation. I don't know why, but it's a fact, I bought a lot of wine in France, the wine tasted so good in France, but at home it lost all its incredible flavor. I guess it is just in your mind.

In den Brauhäusern sind Touristen und Kölner gleichmäßig vertreten. In Köln müsst ihr Hämmchen mit Sauerkraut essen (Klassiker)!!!! Rheinischer Sauerbraten war früher immer vom Pferd. In den Familien wird es auch noch so gemacht. In den Gaststätten ist es meist Rind! Gruß aus Köln Leider heute in deutsch! Funfact: Viele Auswärtige beschweren sich, daß die Kölschgläser so klein sind. Aber in Kölner Wirtschaften ist es üblich wenn das Glas leer ist automatisch vom Köbes/Kellner ungefragt ein neues zu bekommen. Gruß aus Köln!

[@michaelz.7140]

best is reissdorf kölsch

[@knaecke1666]

​@@michaelz.7140 No, I agree Reissdorf is a good one but the best one´s are Mühlenkölsch, Peter´s Kölsch and Päffgen Kölsch. But most important is that you don´t drink it out of a bottle, as everywhere beer has to be drunk fresh out of the tab. Its a difference like heaven and earth. If somebody would like to have a real cologne "Brauhaus-Experience", I would recommend the "Lömmi" (Lommerzheim) in Cologne Deutz. It´s one of the oldest. Don´t be shocked by the oldstyle outside (looks nearly like a ruin) and the "rude" behaviour from the "Köbes" (the waiter). This is a typical behaviour and you will find the real cologne "Brauhaus-atmosphere". Enjoy the famous Kotlett, a "halve Hahn" (bread rolls with cheese) and a beer, which you just get at 3 places in Cologne. Get there really early or if you are a group of more than 4 people, better look up in the internet and make a reservation. Sometimes it is very busy, so the Köbes will place the people waiting, to a bar table where everybody can enjoy several Kölsch until a table to sit gets free. The "Köbes" will tell you how it works. Before I forget for those which are the first time at a cologne Brauhaus. You just don´t have to order Kölsch any more, once you have one on the table. If it is empty, the Köbes will get you a new one immidiatly. If you want to stop him bringing more beer, just put the coaster on top of your glass. Please don´t loose the coaster, because there the Köbes will mark with a pencil, how many Kölsch you had.

💕Köln. I was remembering so many places that you visited there. I recognized most of them. I really miss it there and look forward to my return. I am not a meat eater, but I can recommend a spot for those who seek something a little bit different. It is called: Sattgrün Köln kolumba viertel. It is located at: Ludwigstraße 11. Usually opens around Noon. It also has excellent coffee, pastries and a 'buffet-like' style of various plant based eats. It is quite popular, and I highly recommend it. My non-vegan pal from Ostheim, loved it. Did you two make it up to the KölnTriangle tower (with the viewing deck)? I know when you visited Köln before, it was closed.

Hey guys, that was a very good choice; Reibekuchen - Rievkooche ( local dialect) - grate cake ( literally) because the dough consists of raw grated potatoes, onions, eggs, flour, pepper and salt that's it. Simple but very good. 🙂

Schwarzbrot+Rievkooche+Zuckerrübensirup.

Love that your in Köln. My family is in Krefeld. Im canadian with German roots. So family and friends in Germany. If you like Chinese buffet the Asia Palace in Duisburg is amazing. All you can eat or drink. Chinese buffet, sushi, and a Mongolian grill area. So massive but delicious.

Sorry but none of these dishes are chinese. They are made in america for americans, that couldnt eat chinese food made by immigrants.

Original rheinischer Sauerbraten is made from horse meat and the sauce will contain raisins. The almonds don’t belong there though and I guess they just put it to a bit garnish. A pork knuckle is never wrapped in bacon. It’s the natural fat coating of the knuckle.

German food looks so good. Potato pancakes also very polish.

I use the German dumplings in my beef stew instead of potatoes.

I loved Koln. We went to the Christmas Market & McDonalds... We had small kids with us & we don't go there here at home. We also ate at a super nice Italian.
