Continental Gourmet Sausage, 6406 San Fernando Rd, Glendale, CA 91201
Since 1986, Continental Gourmet Sausage has been making the best German sausages in Southern California. The recipes are from the founder, a German Wurstmacher named Eugen Goetz. You’ll see Eugen’s many awards on the wall.
In addition to German sausage and lunchmeat, you’ll find imported German groceries, including candy, condiments, bread, pretzels, beer, etc. The made to order sandwiches (sausage, ham, salami) are crazy cheap ($7 and up). You can choose the bread (French roll or rye). They also have deli salads (kraut, German potato, macaroni, wurst).
Liverwurst sandwich ($7): very soft, like a pate, with dill pickles, lots of strong German mustard, mayo on thin rye bread. It was a very simple sandwich, but the liverwurst was so good (and it’s hard to find liverwurst). They included some sauerkraut (really good kraut – soft, finely shredded, tangy) and a mini chocolate bar. The sandwich could have benefitted from more texture (something crunchy), not just a pickle on the side.
The outside of the building even looks German.
