Ratskeller
<p>Bavaria is the heartland of simple, rib-sticking dishes heavy on the <em>würstel</em>, potatoes, and sauerkraut—accompanied, of course, by liter-size mugs of beer—and there's no better place to indulge in the cholesterol fest than alongside local residents in the mayor's basement. There's a regional tradition of installing a cozy Ratskeller of communal picnic tables in the <em>keller</em> (cellar) of the local <em>Rathaus</em> (town hall), whether in the tiniest village or the Ratskeller of Munich itself, where you must be sure to order the city's specialty: <em>weisswurst</em> (fat but delicate white sausages) — best when dipped in spicy mustard and sucked right out of their casings. Lunch specials start under $15.</p>
