Home Cookin’ – Connie’s Sausage and Uncured Pepperoni Frozen Pizza Reviews

I’ve previously tried a Connie’s, an “all natural” line out of Chicago.  Today I spotted one with “uncured pepperoni” so I thought I would give that a world. In any increasingly (pseudo) health-conscious world, “uncured” meats are all the rage.  What exactly are uncured meats?  You see the label on bacon and other pork products… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Connie’s Sausage and Uncured Pepperoni Frozen Pizza Reviews

Detroit, MI – American Coney Island, Part 2

Yesterday we brought you the story of how the coney island style hot dog came to America, courtesy of the founders of American Coney Island, in Detroit, Michigan.  Today we will tell you the results of using one of their coney kits to fix these wonderfully American treats at home. First, I have a suggestion… Continue reading Detroit, MI – American Coney Island, Part 2

How the Coney Island Style Hot Dog Got Introduced to the World

Home Cookin’ – Klement’s Cocktail Sausages

The Klement Sausage Company is one of Milwaukee’s old time favorites, as well as one of my personal picks, when I am in an area where they distribute their great meat products.  I like most everything they make, and when I lived in distance parts of the country, I’d reguraly order “care packages” from them.… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Klement’s Cocktail Sausages

Jefferson, WI – Wedl’s Hamburgers

I’ll almost always stop at a place that’s been open for three decades or more, especially if they brag about it.

I understand that… Continue reading Jefferson, WI – Wedl’s Hamburgers

Wisconsin State Fair Food Stand Pictorial

Whereas some State Fairs focus on the agricultural aspects of a state, displaying animals and farm implements galore, the Wisconsin State Fair seems to exist solely for mile after mile of food stands for the pleasure of roaming cheese heads. You’ll get no complaint from me. Sure, there were the usual animal farms, cows, sheep,… Continue reading Wisconsin State Fair Food Stand Pictorial

Home Cookin’ – Greenridge Farm’s Black Jack Sausage (New Product)

I spotted these a couple weeks ago, but didn’t pick any up until yesterday. They are a premium sausage, clocking in at about a buck each, and their dark color and a natural casing were the draw for me.  These are apparently so new that they aren’t described on the manufacturer’s website, a suburban Chicago… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Greenridge Farm’s Black Jack Sausage (New Product)

Screamin Sicilian Frozen Pizza (new product)

The Screamin’ Sicilian is so new, even the website  ain’t working yet. It’s so new, that even a Google or Bing search of the terms brings you nowhere figuring out what the deal on this pie is. (2014 Update:  site and search now operable).  There’s a clue on the box, though, this new effort springs… Continue reading Screamin Sicilian Frozen Pizza (new product)
