With so many Tishrei holidays, we forgot that the month of October has arrived and the world celebrates Oktoberfest. In his honor we have collected for you the best hot dog dishes, a perfect guilty pleasure even during the rest of the year.
1. Cliff Farm
The Farm to Table restaurant in the north of the city relies on the products of the agricultural farm and the meat factory of Havat Tzuk, which produces, among other things, sausages of various types. That’s why it’s easy to imagine Chef Assaf Shanar popping into the adjacent deli, stocking up on a juicy Spanish wagyu sausage and serving it with sauteed peppers and onions, organic fried potato and pickled sweetbait peppers. Dip in garlic aioli and continue to siesta. 78 NIS.

2. Eran Bik
Sausage lovers know the name of Eran Bik as one of the most prominent artisan producers in the field. The person who used to be behind the charcuterie brand HOOK today produces special sausages by hand, such as the American hotdog, Cheddar Cheddar sausage and Jaffa sausage. About once a month, Bick sets up a grill under the studio and grills sausages in what has evolved into a cute carnivorous pop-up/happening.

3. House Thai/Kab Kem
Yariv Melili follows the authenticity with a heel on the thumb side, even if it is less suitable for kosher rules. Sai Kok Isan, traditional white meat sausages from the Isan province, are made using a quick fermentation technique in sticky rice, garlic and black pepper, and are served with ginger, peanuts and hot pepper. A Thai beer next door and you’re set. 62 NIS.

4. The monastery
Whoever thinks that the monastery is just a place for a joint and a beer, shame on him. A bar that has one of the best kitchens in the city serves a changing menu, and usually has at least one dish based on sausages from Charcuterie Ellen Talmore. On the holiday menu you can find a Chilidog – a German-style veal veal Brooklyn sausage with cheddar, chalpinio and fried onions (NIS 55) and Margez sausages on a platter with pita, tahini, salsa and sahug (NIS 60).

5. Porter & Sons
Beer and sausages are not only present at Oktoberfest at Porter & Sons, in a dish that pays homage to street food with its problematic image and presents it in all its glory: three sausages – beef, lamb and pork; Spicy Chipotle and Beef Sausage; And Bavarian-style pork sausage – on a white bean and bacon ragout stew. It is recommended to consult with the staff on matching the right beer that will compliment the flavors of the sausages, or simply order any beer you like from the huge menu. 89 NIS.

6. Frank
The brand behind which stands the respected musician Zev Tana is largely responsible for the transformation that the hot dog has undergone in recent years from junk food to an artisanal product. At the stand in Evan Gvirol you can find French, German and American style beef and pork sausages, more and less spicy – a wide variety for immediate eating and take home. The place is open seven days a week until the wee hours, information that is worth remembering during Munchies.

7. Port 19
The hamburger temple designates a separate, broad and diverse category for hot dogs. The dishes are based on Alan Talmore’s handmade sausages and are served with homemade sauerkraut, mustard and onion chips, and as a business meal with fries/onion rings and a drink. It is recommended to try Irish lamb sausage seasoned with ginger, coriander and marjoram and South African burwurst sausage seasoned with Worcestershire and cardamom (NIS 32/49).

8. Mitbar/Next Generation
The meat restaurant and the adjoining bar are not only a go-to for the city’s culinary elite, but also a place to hang out without posing, with good food and good alcohol. At the bar, you can snack on cankers sausages with roasted artichokes, fried onions and mustard (NIS 82). In the restaurant, the dishes are more restaurant-like: homemade beef sausages with confit garlic and thyme on homemade sauerkraut and Italian white meat sausages with mozzarella, pesto, chili and tomatoes Dried (92 NIS).

9. Beergarden Paulner
The beer garden in Sharona is the closest thing to a real Bavarian beer garden, if only thanks to the sparkling Fowler taps and the currywurst – a plump and juicy sausage in curry cream, cherry tomatoes and green beans (NIS 51). Tel Aviv-style Oktoberfest, sausages in a bun and beer that will flow like water.

10. Hagai Levi
In his day job, Hagai Lavi works at Aharoni’s butcher shop. In his free time, he plays around with charcuterie and, among other things, makes handmade sausages – mainstream chorizos and bratwurst, but also sausages in extreme combinations, for example Manchego beef and black pepper, salmon muslin, and pork sausage, blueberries and coconut. You will hear more about him.
