Fritz Mitte - Imbiss

After a long wait, we are finally back!! And just to make up for the long absence we decided to visit Frittz Mitte, since we know many of you are waiting for it.

So a bit of history: there is some dispute about the invention of currywurst, but it is traditionally atributed to Herta Heuwer in Berlin in 1949. To come up with such tasty meal, she observed the eating habits of American soldiers (steak and ketchup), combined it with the exotic of the British (the curry, which they actually took from India) and finally added the German touch (with pork and potatoes). So we could say currywurst is the best of many worlds united in one dish!!

Frittz Mitte is one of those places where you can start experiencing from the distance. You can smell the dish from 20 meters away already and then get really, really hungry while you are queuing. The guy tending the imbiss is very friendly and speaks english. Together with your currywurst you get a choice of mild or spicy sauce, and for your fries there are many different home-made mayoinnaise dips that you can choose together with ketchup.

We all have been in many different currywurst imbiss including some in Berlin, but we all came to the conclusion that Fritz Mitte Jena is one of the best currywurst and fries we have ever eaten.

I think we are all just wondering, if this place is so popular why don't they get an extra guy to make the food faster?!!! :p

Our veredict: It is definitely worth the waiting!
