Hofer’s Bakery and Cafe owner Ralph Hofer stayed close to his German roots when he and his staff created their regionally, recognized bratwurst biscuits and gravy. The plate, featuring Nuremberg-style bratwursts cooked into a creamy gravy and poured over hot buttermilk biscuits, was recently recognized by the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s tourism division. The dish earned a place on “100 Plates Locals Love” — a list of top favorite dining options across the state.
