A few weeks ago we featured the kielbasa from
Swiacki Meats in Port Richmond; this week it's a kielbasa variety from nearby
Krakus Market, a full-service Polish grocery store and restaurant that also has a staggering variety of house-cured Polish meats and sausages.

On the outside wall of
Heberleins under their windows decorated with red checkered curtains reads, "matbutiken med känsla," or "grocery store with soul." And that's what it looks like at first glance: a humble, just large enough, well stocked mom-and-pop grocery store with produce, dry and canned goods, beverages, dairy products, the requisite wall of loose candy bins...oh, and a long deli counter stuffed with sausages, hams, various cold cuts and cured meats, and more.

The latest addition to
Philadelphia's exploding hot dog scene comes from an unlikely place. Misconduct Tavern is a
nautical-themed center city sports bar that until recently didn't offer much more in the way of food than your standard bar menu of burgers and wings. So I was surprised to hear that Misconduct was introducing
four different house-made hot dogs during
Philly Beer Week that will stay on the menu indefinitely.

We're suckers for novelty, which may explain why we got so excited about the
"Predator and Prey" at the Wurst Tex cart in Austin, a rattlesnake and rabbit sausage (!) with peppers and onions on a long bun. What's the weirdest sausage you've ever eaten? And did you enjoy the experience?

Two weeks ago I tried out the delicious
all-beef Froman hot dogs from
Gilbert's Craft Sausages in Wisconsin, and with Memorial Day right around the corner I thought I'd give some of their other sausages a try on the grill. Gilbert's is a new company that strikes a great balance between modern and traditional with some really delicious high-quality, all-natural uncured dogs and sausages.

Otto's has been on my radar for quite a while, having secured positions in various
Best Hot Dog in America articles including
our own. One of the few places left in the country that both makes and serves their own hot dogs,
Otto's is an 80-year-old traditional German sausage shop and market that charcoal grills their homemade encased meats in front of the store seven days a week.

For the hardcore Bavarian (Munich) locals, there are a number of rules on how to remove the sausage casing (it's never eaten). Some will argue that you should suck the meat out of the pork casing, and that "any other method would be sacrilegious." Removing the casing with a knife and fork is completely fine by me, as long as you remove the entire casing in one gentle, elegant motion. But this can only happen if the weißwurst has been properly heated, allowing the casing to be peeled off easily without disturbing the sausage texture.

Grünkohl mit Mettwurst is a classic German dish of cabbage and pork traditionally enjoyed during winter. Often found at Christmas markets and served with various kinds of sausages and pork cuts, it should always be accompanied by a healthy dose of alcoholic beverages.

Long overdue as
Hot Dog of the Week, Johnny's Hots is one of Philly's best out-of-the-way spots for cheesesteaks and hot dogs. The dogs are terrific, but the thing to order here is really the
hot sausage, grilled and served on a fresh
Liscio's roll and topped with roasted longhot peppers or some pepper hash. For the adventurous, Johnny's Hots is also one of the better places in Philly to try the
Philly Combo, a smashed fish cake served on the same roll with a hot dog or sausage.

While technically not a hot dog,
Dogmatic's locally sourced sausages—which are jammed into freshly baked mini baguettes with gourmet sauces like horseradish mustard, mint yogurt, and a truffle gruyere sauce—are a delicious alternative to the same old New York City street food.
