This was my response to a friend who commented a few weeks ago on how wonderful it is to find someone who makes a decent sausage.
Edmonton, as of late, is home to new crop of very fine sausage makers: Steve Furgiuele of Fuge Fine Meat; Peter Keith and Will Kotowicz of the Secret Meat Club (and their soon-to-open Meuwly’s), and now sausage-makers Allan Suddaby and Eric Jalbert, who’ve partnered with Mike Forgie and Nate Box in Salz, a little Austrian/Bavarian beer and bratwurst joint at 10556 – 115 Street in Edmonton’s Oliver district.
I admire people who focus on one craft and hone it until it glows.
I met the exuberant Suddaby several years ago at Eat Alberta where he was leading a class on the finer points of sausage making; I’ve been a Suddabite ever since. You can read that backstory here.
I made that comment (in the text box) before I went to Salz. I am here today to exalt.
You can find out more about my experience at Salz by listening to my CBC review here, or by reading the web article at this link.
Prost!
