Summer is Here!

Fritz’s Blog – June 19, 2019

 

The Summer season, however short it may be is upon us. That means grilling is in full swing so let’s review the basics.

Make sure to clean the grill, even if you cleaned it before you put it away, it’s always a good idea to hit it again before use.

If it’s gas check the propane connections and make sure you’ve got plenty of propane. If it’s charcoal, make sure all the residue you can remove is gone and you’ve got fresh charcoal. Charcoal does absorb moisture so if it’s been setting in a bag in the garage it may not burn with the energy you’d expect.

Now that your grill is ready, make sure you’ve got goods to put on it. Of course, that means a fine selection of Usinger brats and franks. You may want to check out our pork shops as well. They’re very tasty and you can pick’em up at our retail store on Old World 3rd Street.

Enjoy you’re summer, you never know how long it will last.

The Second Half of Summer!

As we enter the second half of this summer. It’s time to review your grilling successes. Hopefully you have attained “black belt status” for grilling brats and wieners using my two beer philosophy. Now it’s time to expand the menu. Have you tried Usinger Smoked Pork Chops on the grill? They are already smoked and fully cooked, just sear the outside a little (so you get the nice grill marks) and they are ready to go. Or try some of my other spicy international favorite links: Usinger Andouille, Smoked Chorizo or Portuguese style Linguica. All are smoked and cooked, so they require minimal grill time to heat them through, quick & easy. If you like some cheddar in your wurst, try our Smoked Brat with Cheddar & Jalapeno (it’s really good!).

There’s A New Dog In Town!

Call them Hot Dogs, call them Franks, but Baseball is just not the same without them. This season we have added a new one to our line up in honor of our friend and Hall of Famer, Bob Uecker. This recipe was developed just for Bob. After hanging out in ballparks and eating hot dogs since the ‘50’s, nobody knows them better than Ueck. Mr. Baseball’s Famous Franks are made from only select cuts of beef, naturally smoked in our two story brick smokehouses and have a touch of garlic. You can grill ‘em or steam ‘em however you want to make them they always taste great ! Look for Mr. Baseball’s Famous Franks and Mr. Baseball’s Fresh Bratwurst for your next cookout. You’ll find them at your local Sendik’s store.
