For 16 years, Günther and Irene Krause owned and operated the original “Zur Kate” in Hamburg Germany. Günther was a “Metzgermeister” (Master Butcher) and Irene was tutored by the famous Herr Keimer to develop her culinary skills. In the fall of 1983, the Krauses re-located to Mesa (for it’s “wunderbar” weather) and opened “Zur Kate German Restaurant”.

Horst Schlembach was born in Großwenkheim (close to Bad Kissingen) in the Bavaria District of Germany. When he was 23, he used his last few “D-marks” (Deutsche marks) to relocate to Arizona (he wanted to be a cowboy). He joined the Krause’s at “Zur Kate” shortly after they opened. After 23 years of working with Günther & Irene, Horst became the new owners of “Zur Kate” (still in the same location).

Zur Kate translated means “to the old smokehouse” and to this day Zur Kate still attempts to recreate the “Gästehaus” atmosphere of “gemutlichkeit” (cordiality & friendliness). Here we treat everyone as a friend when they come through the door.

We are the first German Food Restaurant Delivery Service in Arizona. We are situated out of Tempe Food Court in Tempe, Arizona.

The real story began with co-founder Ronny moving to the U.S. in 2017. He was traveling a lot into different cultures worldwide, and he was missing his home food constantly. Also, rarely in the U.S. could he find his good old German schnitzel. So Ronny and his wife Nicole decided to create their own German Cuisine Delivery Service and started cooking for the neighbors. Hundreds of meals and packages were delivered, and the reviews were astounding. They loved it! And, with that, the idea of Hansel + Gretel was born.


Nicole's grandma was famous for cooking simple food after World War II for the whole street. Since the war brought a lot of destruction and poverty, Nicole's grandma took simple ingredients like flour and salt, and eggs to make the best food possible. With that tradition, we want to continue this legacy with Hansel + Gretel.


Restaurant delivery is here to stay. If the pandemic taught us anything, it's that we don't have to leave our homes to enjoy a great meal and drinks with the ones we love. German cuisine IS comfort food.

Two beautiful and slightly mischievous German children lived in the deep, dark, Black Forest of Old Bavaria. For centuries tales of an old witch (Oder Hexe) were told around warm hearths on cold winter nights about the witch's magic recipes that could bring comfort to the weary and delicious flavors to the bored. So, Hansel & Gretel made a plan to steal those recipes from Oder Hexe and bring them to the new world.

Not only did they manage to get the magical recipes but they became magic themselves, able to transport delicious food to your door in the fastest of times.
