Sliced sausage under curry-spiced tomato sauce, but with a Frankfurt twist: graded chilli heat levels that climb from mild to legally dubious, ordered by letter at the counter.

Currywurst may be Berlin's invention, but Frankfurt built its own cult around heat. Best Worscht in Town, grown by Lars Obendorfer, whom the local press calls Frankfurt's Godfather of Worscht, grades its curry sauces from gentle Bissi Prickeln through Godfather's Deathkiss to the waiver-worthy FBI level, served on handmade sausage with Huck bakery sourdough. The format spread across a dozen branches and turned the humble curry sausage into a Frankfurt endurance sport, complete with regulars who order letters most humans should not.
