Currywurst Day: which Bundesliga legend would have the best snack bar?

No stadium and no canteen would be complete without it: the good old currywurst. In Germany, this cult dish is so important that it even has its own day on September 4.

So naturally, we find ourselves asking: which former or current Bundesliga pro would actually run the best snack stand and whip up an absolutely first-class currywurst for us there?

Kevin Großkreutz

Mr. Kebab Toss is, of course, the undisputed number one. If you order a dish here, you’ll either get it handed to you or, alternatively, thrown straight into your face from three meters away. Better not walk into this place wearing Schalke gear.

Thomas Müller

His snack stand would probably have 47 special offers at the same time. No one understands the menu, but in the end everything tastes delicious. The server talks nonstop to the guests or, if necessary, to the deep fryer.

Lukas Podolski

As the owner of numerous kebab shops, Poldi is already deeply involved in the business. So what’s stopping him from expanding it a little further? If it tastes good, it tastes good.

The classic stadium grill. No card payments, no avocado, no hipster sauces. If you start arguing, the owner will quickly no longer be the only one in the place with a gap-toothed smile.

Mario Basler

Sells nothing but currywurst and cigarettes. Every order comes with an unsolicited opinion on modern football thrown in. Back in the ’90s, it tasted a lot better here.

Rudi Völler

The snack stand “Where’s the spice suddenly coming from?” has been in the same spot for 40 years. The menu was last updated in 1997. At first you’re not quite sure why, but everyone loves the place. After three wheat beers, it all starts to make sense.

Officially, the place closes at 10 p.m. Strangely enough, though, currywursts are still being sold at 2:30 a.m. The card machine never works. On the bright side, poker tournaments are regularly held in the back room. 

Felix Magath

There’s only celery, water and boiled potatoes. Anyone who asks for ketchup has to run ten laps around the stadium immediately. More than once, he has saved his restaurant from going under right at the last moment.

Now it’s your turn: which other Bundesliga players would also make excellent snack stand owners? Let us know in the comments!
