PrintSeriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage
When winter is near, I start thinking about sausage. About the best, juiciest, meatiest, just smoky enough sausage I know is the Bracewell family makes and serves at their phenomenal Texas barbecue joint the Southside Market. The Bracewells are a generously spirited bunch, so they've given us ten pound packages of their incomparable sausage to give away as part of the Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway. Win and you can have your very own Texas barbecue sausage holiday party. Doesn't that sound good?
To enter: Tell us what your favorite barbecue joint is.
You have until noon ET tomorrow (December 26) to enter. One winner will be chosen at random from among the commenters. The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply. Contest winners are limited to residents of the continental U.S.

Smokedaddy in East Village, Chicago. I took my Texas native friend Mary there and she said, "I've known you all this time and you haven't taken me here before?" Two weeks is sometimes a long time.

It only happens once a year, but I love the outdoor BBQ wild game feast that the American Legion in Havre de Grace MD holds every winter. It is very cold as it is held in an open air picnic pavillion right on the Chesapeake, but you tend not to notice after gorging yourself on deer tenderloin slow cooked in a pit beef smoker, or whole ducks done the same way...
Now that is my kind of BBQ!

If there were any good ones in San Diego I'd tell you about them/it, but to the best of my knowledge there isn't anything worth mentioning.

In Tampa Florida it has to be Alabama Johns BQ in the hood. You can smell the smoke a mile away. No BQ restaurant is within miles of this place. It will have you needing a bib its that good!
