Head to The Best Wurst when you have a hankering for a hearty hotdog at a bargain price. It’s a friendly food trailer with two – yes, two – locations on Austin's 6th Street! Why is their wurst the best? They’ve been making these babies for more than 20 years, plus they’ve got some of the yummiest toppings imaginable.

Order the Bratwurst and you get a juicy, German-style pork sausage that’s double-ground with nutmeg and pepper. The Smoked Italian is seasoned with cayenne and fennel, and the Smoked Jalapeno is a spicy pork and beef variety. Want just a plain, all-beef wiener? They’ve got that, too. Pile on toppings like grilled onions, sauerkraut, curry ketchup and spicy mustard, and you’ve got a feast on a bun. Salt Potatoes are also on the menu.
