Curry 36

Curry 36 is the Currywurst counter on Mehringdamm in Kreuzberg that has run continuously since 1981, the address most-photographed for the format, and the operator that has refused to franchise outside its small Berlin network. The sausage is the West-Berlin variant — pork, no skin, the curry-ketchup applied table-side. Standing-only at the kerbside windows, takeaway-only inside. For the audience the question is not 'is Currywurst worth seeking out' but 'is the original variant different from the airport version' — and Curry 36 is the address that demonstrates the answer.
