BRATWURST SAUERKRAUT DUMPLINGS

“I forget exactly what made me create these bad boys, but I know it was at some point when I was living in Nashville. When I was a kid my dad sent me into his favorite hot dog spot in New York and told me to order the hot dog with sauerkraut. I didn’t know what it was, so when they gave me the container I opened it to look at what sauerkraut was, and the guy behind the counter said, “You must not be from New York” and I was scarred for life. Despite having this harrowing experience tied to my understanding of sauerkraut, we have bounced back and have a fruitful and delicious relationship.”
