Finding the best Kartoffelsalat in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Kartoffelsalat I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled caraway seeds with genuine knowledge and the hearty and deeply savoury result was noticeably superior.

regional specialities vary dramatically between Bavaria, Saxony, and the Rhineland. The winning restaurant had the right a Bavarian beer hall feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. schnapps after the meal was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Kartoffelsalat is made properly it's a completely different experience.
