German Village has a commercial strip mainly centered along S. Third Street, with mostly locally owned restaurants — such as Katzinger's Delicatessen. Schmidt's Sausage Haus and Schmidt's Fudge Haus have been a part of German Village for 120 years, opened by George F. Schmidt. The restaurant is still run by the family, and was featured on "Man vs. Food" in 2008. Thurman Café opened in German Village in 1942 by Nick Suclescy. Thurman was also featured on "Man vs. Food" in 2008, where the Thurmanator–Thurman's giant eating challenge burger–was created. Katzinger's Delicatessen is another family owned restaurant that opened in 1984 and is known for their deli sandwiches.
