California- that dirty tease

We received a flier for Gradtoberfest last week. Gradtoberfest PROMISED brats and saurkraut. This excited me immensely. When I got there, I found chicken sausages mixed with spinach and some kind of wonky cheese. When I asked for the real meat brats, I got a dirty California look. Clearly I was supposed to prefer the healthier, fancier version of a Midwestern German classic. Why do they tease me so? Why do they pretend to be German? Why do they lure me with empty promises that they can't fulfill?
Oh and there was no saurkraut in sight.
Sigh.
