We went to Günter's for lunch, the shoddy box from which he serves his korvs contrasts with the posh neighborhood, making you wonder if the municipality forgot to remove it. In front of the box was queue evoking memories of the census of Bethlehem, a half hour long line impeding pedestrian traffic by blocking the entire sidewalk. Obviously we were wondering if the hotdogs could be so good that it would warrant this long wait, but evidently it was worth it for many is so we decided to commit. As we inched closer to the establishment our anticipation grew, with each step An experience that, although comparable, made the Interstellar docking scene seem mundane and inconsequential.
When we finally arrived at the counter the figure of Günter towered over us from the slightly heightened platform his store is built on. Günter himself exudes an aura of disdain for mortal beings. His intelligent yet bored gaze scanning the mass of customers before him. Moving up to the counter it didn't feel like we were paying customers; it felt like we were begging him for a mere chance to order. His greeting, if one can call it that, is more a snarl than a salutation—a brusque demand for your order, followed by a deafening silence that leaves you questioning if he ever heard you at all. After neither confirming nor denying our order he went back into his shop to man the grill. But after tasting the final product it is clear that he channels all the affection he withholds from his customers into these edible masterpieces.
When he finishes your sausage, lord Günter summons you from the crowd with a simple hand gesture. He will then ask if you want sauce and sauerkraut etc. You should simply tell him to put everything, when he inevitably suggests this spotting your puzzled expression. To think you know better than Lord Günter is foolish.
The first bite reminds you of simpler times, your mothers arms embracing you, shielding you from the pains of the world. The spicy Kabanoss sausage we ordered contrasted perfectly with the rich flavor of the dill mayonnaise sauce and the sour tang of the sauerkraut. Equally great was the lightly spiced salsa which is dispensed from an udder mounted to the ceiling of the shop. Why the sauce is dispensed from an udder is not really clear, but as they say: the lords ways are mysterious. Tying this all together was the hollowed out baguette, which defies our understanding of physics by managing to be both crispy and fluffy simultaneously. This Schrödingers sandwhich really sets Günter apart from another popular hotdog spot in the city: Bruno's korv whose saharah-esque bread not only absorbs all moisture from your body but also all the joy from your soul.
So would definitely recommend, it is worth...
Read moreI absolutely love this hot dog kiosk! Definitely one of the best hot dogs I’ve ever had in my life was from this place! There’s a variety of sausages for hot dogs, and they all seem super delicious. I personally love to pick the Polish-style bratwurst (Polsk Bratwurst). For my hot dog, I always add ketchup and mayo. By the way, the mayo here is ranch-style flavored, and it’s very tasty! And of course - the bread!! A big part of what makes the hot dogs at this kiosk taste so incredible is the bread, which is always fresh, crispy, and delicious! The size of the hot dog is big enough to make you feel full. Once, I had just one and it was enough for my entire lunch. The prices at this place are reasonable. My hot dogs usually cost around $13. The only small downside of this business is the location. It’s a bit outside Stockholm city center, in a quiet residential area. I believe that mostly locals who live nearby know about this wonderful place. I personally discovered it while exploring Stockholm and randomly walking down the street where it’s located. Since then, I’ve been a big fan and always return to this kiosk when I come back to Stockholm! Also, I need to mention that this business accepts Apple Pay, which is a big plus. I highly recommend checking this place out and trying what they have. I’m sure you’ll enjoy your...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of ordering take-away from this restaurant and was delighted with their prompt and efficient food delivery, as well as the delicious cuisine. However, my positive experience was marred by the behavior of a younger employee working behind the cashier. He made a negative comment about my lack of assistance to my partner with the food pick-up, despite being preoccupied with my children. I found his comment to be not only unprofessional but also incredibly inappropriate. As a paying customer, I believe it is unacceptable to receive any negative comments from an employee whose primary responsibility is to provide exceptional customer service. The employee's job is to ensure we are satisfied, and communication should be respectful and courteous at all times. Unfortunately, this negative interaction detracted from the high-quality food and pleasant ambiance, harming my overall impression of the establishment. Despite the tempting cuisine, I will need to consider my options carefully before returning...
