Encased Meats

This Saturday, we went to get paint samples and primer from a local paint store near Milwaukee and Addison. It was about 11:15 am when we left, but the fam was hungry.

Originally, we had planned on going to Target and then onwards to Hot Dougs for some fine encased meats and duck fat fries. Well, we switched up, guessing there was going to be a line at HotDougs.

Good move. There was already a line at 11:20 am. Game sausage of the week: Smoked Rattlesnake Sausage with Black Currant Mustard and Vodka Currant Cheese. Too many smackers for a grilled sausage, so Cpu and I opted for splitting Smoked Shrimp and Pork Sausage with Creamy Creole Mustard and Fontina Cheese, and a duck-bacon-blue-cheese one that is no longer listed on the web site. And duck-fat fries. Bpu went for a kid's meal of bagel dogs and tater tots. I had a nice ginger beer and they split an apple juice.

There was a pretty big Cubs pre-game crowd there, and we didn't see any outside dining, but some of our line-mates did disappear somewhere. Good times.

Well, more like Oak Park. We closed the Deal; sellers missed some asbestos (they are fixing) but stole our window air-conditioners (debating). Bpu continues our tour of Chicago-land hot dog joints by approaching melt-down, which you can read all about.
