I used to think I had to book a flight if I wanted real German food. Oklahoma just didn’t seem like the place for schnitzel done right or bratwurst with that perfect snap.
But the first time I bit into a plate that tasted like it came straight from a Bavarian kitchen, I realized I had seriously underestimated this state. Now I know better.
I’ve found lively German-style halls where long tables fill up fast and family-run restaurants where the recipes feel older than the building itself. I’ve tucked into crispy schnitzel, rich sauerbraten, and sausages that don’t hold back on flavor…
