Rosamunde Sausage Grill, San Francisco

Rosamunde is loved by all. From bike messengers and bar fliers, to hip-hoppers, construction workers, and neighborhood moms with babies in arms, the expertly assembled sausage sandwiches here are irresistible for all. Traditional favorites are well-represented with a range of platter from Bratwurst to Weisswurst and Hungary. If your philosophy is "the spicier the better," try the Merguez. Each sausage comes on a toasty-hot, freshly-baked bun, and with your choice of grilled or fresh onion, sauerkraut, chili, pickle relish, hot or sweet peppers, and an assortment of mustard and ketchup. Rosamunde's German-style potato salad puts other potato salads to shame, so grab a tub. Enjoy your meal at one of the counters facing the hustle and bustle of the Lower Haight, or bring it all next door to Toronado for a beer. Only cash accepted.
