Seriously, what's there to say about Brotzeit's signature pork knuckles that hasn't already been said?

Ridiculously loud, crackling skin cocoons a massive mound of pork flesh that's been simply yet succinctly marinated and is just bursting with so much savory, meaty deliciousness. The flesh of the knuckle is tremendously tender and crumbles easily under the light assault of a fork (or six). In fact, Group Executive Chef Wolfgang Ranner simply pulled out the bone from the pork knuckle with his bare hands. And the best part? The bone came out cleaner than a whistle!

As for the skin, it was so overtly crisp that when Chef Ranner pulled the bone out, it crackled in protest at being separated from the bone. The skin is so crispy in texture that it's almost akin to eating old school prawn crackers, and the fat underneath had been so thoroughly rendered out that only a thin layer remained, and it promptly melts in your mouth.

When at Brotzeit, do as the Germans do and get their signature pork knuckles. Don't deny yourself, you deserve to treat yourself to this knuckle biter.

I'd like to give a massive thank you to @brotzeitsg and @burpple for inviting me to this amazing Eatup, and to Jenny of @foodcultpr for hosting!
