“I Get Goosebumps” TikTok Hype Reaches Braunschweig: Here You Can Discover the Taxi Plate

Fries, currywurst, and gyros with onions: the “Taxi Teller” has long been popular with fast food fans in the Ruhr area of Germany. Now, the social media hype is reaching Braunschweig.

The “Taxi Teller” is currently a trending dish, particularly on TikTok. This combination of foods is now available in several restaurants in Braunschweig.

The dish originated in the Ruhr area and consists of fries with sauce and mayonnaise, currywurst, combined with gyros, onions, and tzatziki [1].

Where to Find the Taxi Plate in Braunschweig and Beyond

In Braunschweig, the Plaka snack bar at Zuckerbergweg 23 offers the Taxi Teller for 12 euros. However, it includes a one-piece currywurst, which differs from the traditional preparation [4].

Following the “original” Ruhr area style, the “Gyros Grill” on Hansestrasse serves the Taxi Teller with the currywurst already cut into small pieces, similar to fried curry, for 14.50 euros.

Further afield, Mylos Gifhorn, located at Braunschweiger Straße 109 in Gifhorn, also offers the Taxi Teller for 14 euros [3]. Operators announced the arrival of the dish on Instagram, stating, “Breaking news! Taxi-Teller is taking over Gifhorn!”

Local Food Blogger Weighs In

Braunschweig’s food blogger, “Ari’s Foodspots,” has tried the Taxi Teller and expressed enthusiasm. In a video on Instagram, he described the dish, stating, “Some find it perverted, others find it perversely horny. I just get goosebumps when I notice it.” [3]

The dish, also known as a “Taxiteller” or “Cab Plate,” is gaining popularity across Germany [1], [2].
