What type of sausage do you serve?

I am in the last stages of opening my first quick-serve storefront. I've expanded my mobile operation to the point that I need a home base.
I'm going to keep a limited menu. I want to offer a traditional Southern BBQ type sausage.
What would you recommend?
Bratwurst?
Sweet Italian?
Hot Italian?

I agree with you. I was really hesitating on using any of those.
I would go with Andouille like brutus suggested before any of my ideas.

Be careful with your Andouille selection. They may be too spicy for your neighborhood. I still suggest you go with something more local to you if possible.

Following this. I have been wondering the same thing and I live just south of you. Seems the only sausage around here people think breakfast or "fair" food such as Italian sausage. Might want to contact "The Butcher at Bon Air". He sells fresh and smoked sausage. Maybe sausage craft as well seems like they will custom make for you not sure of prices for something like that. Best of luck on the new brick & mortar!! Whats the address will have to come by when you open!!

A good polish sausage may be an option. Its not overly spicy and seems to be fairly popular and its also versatile.

Sausage,like hot dogs is regional. What sells in one area of the country wont move elsewhere....

Find what sells locally and sell that.

Good luck, cj
