Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage

Posted by Ed Levine, December 30, 2007 at 12:00 PM

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 31) 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.

As some of you may know, Washington state had a stong storm on Dec 2. Winds were clocked at 129 miles an hour. Lots of buildings were destroyed. Included in them was my favorite barbecue joint the Ranch house. I don't think anyone can make barbecue as well as they did. It will truly be missed.

This is a tough decision. Corky's in Memphis is good; Colonel Poole's in Elijay, GA is quite an event; Dusty's in Atlanta has always been a family favorite (try the homemade potato chips); O.B.'s is my south side of Atlanta pick; and Harold's in Atlanta is my in town choice (get the stew and crackling cornbread). My number one, all time favorite, though, has got to be Whitt's in Athens, AL. The smoked pork is excellent, and the vinegar-based sauce is the perfect accompaniment.
