In the heart of Miami Shores, Proper Sausages elevates the butcher shop experience with high-quality cuts, house-made sausages, and mouthwatering sandwiches—all served with a dash of local flair.
"The Proper Sausages burger can be a little tough to track down. It's usually a Monday and Friday special, so give them a call before you go to see if it's available. But if it is, order it. Proper Sausages is another meat shop that knows a burger should revolve around the beef. Theirs is thick, juicy, and held together with a fluffy bun from Oori Bakeshop. When in season, you can expect a thick slab of heirloom tomato to give this burger even more girth. " - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"The Proper Sausages burger can be a little tough to track down. At the time of this writing, it's only a Monday and Friday special, so give them a call before you go to see if it's available. But if it is, order it. There are a lot of factors that go into making a great burger, but perhaps the biggest one is the beef. If you agree with this fairly obvious statement, then the Proper Sausages burger is for you. They’re one of the best meat shops in town, so it makes sense that the wagyu patty they use tastes incredible, and is cooked to a perfect medium rare. They usually accentuate the meat with a sturdy bun, a juicy slice of heirloom tomato, and some local lettuce." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"The BLT To be clear: every sandwich at Proper Sausages is amazing. But we have a particularly strong love affair with the BLT. Like all of life’s great pleasures, it’s simple. Bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo. And yet, it doesn’t taste simple at all, because the tomatoes are fresh and local and as plump as a water balloon that’s about to pop. The bacon is absurdly good and cut nice and thick. This sandwich is a testament to the power of quality ingredients, and if we don’t eat at least one a month, we’ll start being mean to our loved ones." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"Sure, Proper Sausage might be best known for supplying Miami’s top restaurants with unique, made-on-site sausages and cured meats. Still, those really in the know know that Proper Sausage also makes some solid sandwiches, including a BLT and a sky-high turkey club." - Olee Fowler
"If your assignment was to make a traditional cuban sandwich and you handed this in, you might get a D-. To start, it’s served on a Portuguese muffin. There’s also cheddar cheese and mayo involved. But at least the Miami Shores shop acknowledges this by naming it the “Cubanish.” However, when your hypothetical teacher tastes this thing, they will bump you up to a passing grade and maybe even throw a few sparkly stickers your way too. Proper is an outstanding meat shop, which is obvious after the first bite of incredible roasted pork shoulder and smoked rosemary ham. The cheddar cheese also works surprisingly well. Once again, we’re all for breaking rules when they turn out this good." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
