History:
The Grilletta is a variation of the hamburger from the former German Democratic Republic (GDR). The term Grilletta is an art word.
The only known Grilletta Stube was the one at the Berlin TV Tower. The Grilletta has always been produced regionally different and therefore I put the classic recipe for me online.
