I live here and I won't eat them, but then again that's just me. Most people in my village eat fricadelles or fleischkase in a brotchen instead of hamburgers, but that could be a regional thing. I won't eat pommes with mayonaisse either.
This family run diner in Cologne is my absolute favourite for a non-chain burger in Germany. Standing room and take away only but everything they do is from scratch and has a great taste.
