"This Northwest Indiana paradise for sausage is an international emporium of encased meats with pastrami hot dogs, longanisa, and Polish sausage. It’s about 30 minutes east of Chicago without traffic, and a great move if you’re meeting friends on a holiday getaway in Indiana or Michigan. Just pack the cooler. The sausages are superior. They specialize in whole-animal butchering, and the owner worked at high-profile restaurants like Publican Quality Meats and Gilt Bar. Mike Sula at The Reader hosted them at one of his Monday Night Foodball pop-ups." - Ashok Selvam
