Yotes The stop this trip that I’ve been the most excited for is Schulze’s Pitroom all because of the sausages they are slinging. Pushing the boundaries of sausage boldly going where I one has gone before. I purposely didn’t look at their social media for the last month because I wanted to be surprised by the sausage special. I roll in today to see the butcher paper “In-N-Out Double Double animal style sausage”. . . I take a bite and no joke the PA system starts playing “Times Like These”-Foo Fighters and I’m chomping at this sausage hearing these lyrics. Listening to a song and eating a sausage that hits the nostalgia of my formative years growing up in San Diego. The pieces of burger patties, pickles, bun, onions and fries were all one singular unit but you could taste and feel each as you bite. All bound together with the sausage spices. The fries! As I was biting it was giving California Burrito as well maybe because of the form and it being filled out with fatty beef. I’ve had two “religious experiences” with sausage in my life and both have been in Seguin, Tx. Rewording the lyrics, “It’s bites like these you learn to live/love again”
Oh also the brisket was fantastic. Nice and peppery and the fat cap melted wonderfully in my mouth. The ribs with the glaze! Such a fatty rib. Slightly sweet with a chili flavor that reminded me more of Gochugaru and Korean chili peppers more than what you find in regular chili in the west.
But man. That sausage. I keep talking to ppl and I feel that sausage is the meat item where you get feel the soul and creativity of the pit master the most boldly stated. I need to come again when I’m in the area for the next soul shaking sausage they have on rotation.
