There is no one way to define German food. The cuisine is as diverse as the country itself - with each region having its own specialties. We can say, however, that German food is very tasty; it is rich in tradition and history; and it can satisfy even the most discriminating of palates.

In this Web site, we hope to share our love of German food with you. But unlike other German food sites, we focus primarily on the German food that is available here in the U.S. On this Web site, you will be able to find German food sold in your area. You can search our directory for German restaurants, delicatessens, food stores, and bakeries. You can also learn about German specialties ... how to prepare them, the best ways to serve them, history and traditions, etc. Our site is divided into 10 sections (see our menu above) to help you find the items you're looking for.
