I am planning to go to Munich and would like to taste local Munich and/or German cuisine if possible. Can you give me ideas? I'd like to have low cost, mid-range and high-end alternatives.
Danke!
Update:Thank you, Alvin. Can I find these delicacies anywhere, or would you recommend certain places.
Also, where shall I go if I want a fancy dinner German style?

Traditional Bavarian food is pork and dumplings ("Knödel"), but you should at least once try the world-renowned Bavarian "Weißwurst" (white sausage) with a Pretzl ("Brezn" in Bavarian) and sweet mustard ("Süßer Senf"). There's no place in the universe where they make white sausages the way they do in Munich, and you should enjoy a wheat beer with it on a Sunday morning, preferrably "Erdinger Weizen" (Erding is a small town near Munich with at least one good brewery, and Munich Airport FJS is somewhere near it).
There's also good beef available here, that's on the high end of the line, and chicken of course. Not wings or legs or nuggets, but a half or full chicken should be available at any butchery every noon Monday to Friday, and you don't eat it with a fork and knife but just use your fingers and clean them with a paper napkin.
What's also common is the "Leberkäse", chek it out on Wikipedia:

There's not only the red variety as depicted there but also a white one; the red one is spicier.

Oh boy.....
How fancy do you want to get? Starting at the top end, this is a (one of many) list of the supposedly best restaurants in Munich - places I'd never go to because you'd have to wear a tie and/or are in danger of running into (local or international) celebrities I can never even remember:
http://www.restaurant-ranglisten.de/ranglisten/cc/...
Mid range: basically anywhere else. The competition is strong, a bad restaurant won't keep long. This is the local food page of the Süddeutsche, a nationwide newspaper made in Munich:

Low end: weather permitting, any beer garden. I'd recommend the Hirschgarten (very nice area, lots of trees: http://www.hirschgarten.de/ ). Beer garden rules: you _must_ buy your drinks from the proprietor (beer or non-alcoholic stuff available), you _may_ buy your food there or bring your own.
As to Alvin's delicacies: Weißwürste and Leberkäs should be available nearly everywhere, although Weißwürste are a breakfast/morning dish - you're not supposed to eat them after 12:00 noon. As to the Leberkäs, I'd just go into a butcher shop and buy a slice on a bread roll (a lot of butcher shops sell Leberkäs and other stuff on a roll, and a lot of bakeries, too - you get better meat at the butcher and better bread at the baker). Vinzenz Murr ( http://www.vinzenzmurr.de/filialen.html ) is a butcher chain from (but not only in) Munich that has some decent stuff.
Munich Food
Munich is really a enormous city with: cafe, nightlife and accommodation listings, with hotelbye , you could have a look. Munich may be the capital town of Bavaria and the third-most populous town in Germany. For ages the seat of the Dukes, Electors, and Kings of Bavaria, the Munich Residenz is without question among Europe's many spectacular palaces. Organized around seven large courts, the substantial resident complicated comprises three major pieces: the Königsbau, fronting into Max-Joseph-Platz; the Alte Residenz, facing Residenzstrasse; and the Festsaalbau (Banqueting Hall) overlooking the Hofgarten. The first area of this enormous complicated to be created was the superb Antiquarium, built in 1579 and now part of the exceptional Residenz Museum. Munich is a city with plenty of history, be sure to explore it whole.
The food in munich is delicious. You really need to try a dumpling with a pretzel and a radla. That is usually a trad. A spezi, radla, cola-weitsen are mixed drinks. The last two are beer with sodas which is the best.
fancy is all over the place because ppl in germany have money
a traditional german meal could be sausages with fried potatoes and sauerkraut. some german surnames are :saltzmann, wiedmer, hahn, metzner, wassermann etc. Umm there's a german town called Eltville,not sure of nearby villages though...
A neighborhood pub (lack for a better word) where you hear the local residents voices in song and laughter.
Beer.
