Try the local cuisine. German food here in the states is a pathetic shadow of the delicious food served in Germany.

Also fyi,

"GERMANS AND THE DöNERKEBAB: A TALE OF OBSESSION
Lederhosen, Goethe and the Brandenburg Gate are all as quintessentially German, a newly published book suggests, as the Dönerkebab. The Döner, a relative of the Greek gyro, is a pocket of Turkish bread filled with spicy grilled meat, salad and a yogurt sauce. Turkish “guest workers” introduced Germany to the Döner, and since the early 1970s it has progressed from an exotic ethnic specialty to a fast food staple. Today, the weekly Der Spiegel reports, Germans consume some 720 million Dönerkebabs annually, which translates to over two pounds' worth for every resident of the country. The DM 3.6 billion (U.S. $2.3 billion) Germans spend on Döners each year outstrips the revenues of all fast food chains in the country combined and represents a considerable source of income for a segment of the Turkish population in Germany."
