Julie Dueh delivers a tasty lunch from Karl Ehmer's Quality Meats to Jenn and Dave. Located at 1645 Union Blvd., Allentown, Karl Ehmer's opened for business in 1932 and has been a part of Musikfest for 34 or 36 years.
Liz Musgrove gets ready to serve a Hunters Sausage Bowl to a fest-goer at Karl Ehmer's Quality Meats at Wells Fargo Festplatz. The dish is bratwurst and krainerwurst cut up on German spaetzle noodles with brown mushroom gravy. Musgrove, a family friend who has been helping at Karl Ehmer's at Musikfest for seven or eight years, likes being there and said, “There are always challenges but we overcome the obstacles.”
