Sausage, Block Butcher Bar

Illustration by Serene Lusano

Ever hanker for some sweet LowBrau sausage but got sour on the idea after two seconds in that hellish echo chamber of bellowing bros? Block Butcher Bar now sells them over the counter at $3 per sausage, allowing you to take your contemplation of tubed meats to a more meditative atmosphere. A sampling of the andouille boasted an earthy heat that would complement any gumbo, while the chicken-feta brought a rich creaminess offset by herbal jolts. You could eat them right out of the butcher paper, but it’s better to toss them on a pan or some briquettes first. 1050 20th Street, http://blockbutcherbar.com.
