Deep Fried, Bacon-Wrapped, Cheese-Stuffed Sausage at Brand BBQ Market in Chicago

[Photograph: brandbbqmarket.com] What's better than bacon? How about luscious juicy links of cherry and applewood smoked venison sausage stuffed with gorgonzola, wrapped in bacon? I suppose that would be enough, but just in case it's not. Brand BBQ Market, a new Logan Square barbecue spot, also drizzles that whole combo, known as the Brandcheezie ($8), with cherry brandy barbecue sauce and perches the whole thing in a nest of fried caramelized onion strings. The thing is so ludicrous, it reminds me of Saturday Night Live's "Taco Town" skit about the taco wrapped in a crepe wrapped in a Chicago deep dish pizza doused in chili. The thing is, this piece of craziness actually tastes great. The pungent sweet blue cheese...

Berlin 'Grillwalkers' Sell Sausages Cooked on Wearable Grills

[Photograph: Punxatawneyphil on Flickr] The New York Times has a quick piece on Berlin's grillwalkers, who sell sausages from portable grills that they wear—gas on the back; hot, hot bratfest on the front. The innovative apparatus sprang up in 1997, when inventor Bertram Rohloff devised it as a way of skirting city street-vendor permits in the city. Without permits, "neither the grill nor the sausages could touch the ground." As he worked on the invention, Mr. Rohloff considered everything from burning charcoal to hooking the grill up to a car battery — which he rejected because it would run down in just 10 minutes — before settling on propane. He designed it with an automatic cut-off mechanism for the...

New iPhone Application Lets You Virtually Grill Bratwurst

Swiss meat company Bell recently released a free bratwurst-grilling application for the iPhone where you blow into the microphone to simulate fanning the embers and touch the screen to move the bratwurst around the grill. When you're done cooking, you can email your virtual bratwurst to a friend, who will probably respond with, "What the hell is this for?" Ah, glorious technology.

How to Make Homemade Sausage

Photograph by Elise Bauer Hank Shaw of James Beard-nominated food blog Hunter Angler Gardener Cook has a great photo-heavy homemade sausage tutorial at Simply Recipes. Before delving into his recipe for Italian sweet sausage, he gives advice on what special equipment to get (meat grinder, sausage stuffer, and casings) and what temperature to keep your ingredients at—that is, very cold. "You are looking for as close to 32 degrees as you can get without actually freezing the meat," he advises. He warns that your first batch could take several hours to make, but it's not very difficult overall and you'll get faster with practice. Related Sausage and Law Italian Sausage: Ever Made Your Own?
