PrintSeriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage
Every day through January 1 we're giving away a crazy good food item on Serious Eats. Try your luck, and if you win, you'll be eating some seriously delicious food come the new year.
When winter draws near, I start thinking about sausage. (Actually, I think about sausage year-round.) About the best, juiciest, meatiest, just-smoky-enough sausage I know is the sausage the Bracewell family makes and serves at their phenomenal Texas barbecue joint the Southside Market. The Bracewells are a generously spirited bunch, so they've given us ten pound packages of their incomparable sausage to give away as part of the Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway. Win and you can have your very own Texas barbecue sausage holiday party. Doesn't that sound good? —Ed Levine
To enter: Tell us what your favorite barbecue joint is.
You have until 3 p.m. ET tomorrow (December 26) to enter. One winner will be chosen at random from among the commenters. Contest winners are limited to residents of the continental U.S., and you can only win once during the duration of the Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway contest. The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply.

I got a lot of crap last time I said Redbones in Somerville, MA rather than Blue Ribbon. Here's my reason - I CAN DRINK AT REDBONES. There we go.

Sadly, my favorite is no longer with us. The Little Pig, on Rosewood Drive, in Columbia, SC., just a block from my house. I am told that the mother of the family, who held the place together, died and so the place closed. Sigh.

My favorite if famous daves.
slb3334 at 11:03PM on 12/25/08
Smokin' Dick's in Seattle (a name that always elicits either a laugh or a sour look, but it's good for a reaction in any case). Reasonably priced and with huge portions, as it's in the U district, and with no sacrifice in quality compared to all but the most expensive spots in town. Couple that with a great atmosphere eating in or easy take-out and you've got a winner.
EvilTimmy at 11:04PM on 12/25/08
Our only BBQ around here is Killians and its only fair. I've been to Texas and loved it. Had some shipped home.

Well, with my family being from the Elgin area, I'm gonna' have to say Southside! We grew up calling the sausages "hot guts." For ribs, however, the very best are made by a southern transplant out on Cape Cod at a little roadside stand in Wellfleet.

The Pit Stop on Canyon Road in Beaverton, OR. You'll know it by the race car out front and the checkered paint job on the pavement at the front entrance. Great BBQ and even better T-Bones can be had at this sports bar that boasts wall-to-wall TV viewing all relevant sports.

Our favorite BBQ place is the Georgia Pig located in Ft. lauderdale, Fl. We go to FL twice a year to see my mother but the first stop after leaving PBI airport is Georgia Pig. GP has been in business since 1953 and is still run by the same family. Address is 1285 S.W. 40th Ave, RD#7, Ft. Lauderdale.GP is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Call 587-4420 for hours. Nothing beats their chopped pork sandwich with slaw and potato salad sides and unsweetened iced tea.

There's a tiny town nicknamed "The BBQ Capital of the USA" called Lockhart, TX. And in that little village is a magical BBQ joint named
Kreuz Market that was founded by a family in 1900. They use big
pieces of special spices to create the most delictible and delicious
BBQ ribs, sausage, brisket and pork chops you have ever tasted!!
Since we no longer live in TX, we have family that sends us special
care packages of Kreuz Market BBQ every Christmas!! Thank you
for the contest!

My all time favorite place to have BBQ, besides my home, was the BBQ PIT in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Sadly it has been gone for many years! So coming in 2nd place is Rib City in Naples & Venice, FL.
When we moved to Western North Carolina, we thought we would be in the land of great BBQ. Sadly our dreams were quickly crushed and we are going through withdrawls! Needing a BBQ fix QUICK!
danandjen at 10:40AM on 12/26/08
The only BBQ place we have around here is Famous Dave's--so it's either that or my back yard.

Gosh that makes me think about Sonny's Barbeque in Tennesee and the BBQ we used to have in MS and TX. Now we live in PA and while it has a lot of cool things BBQ seems to be lacking. Great Contest!

My favorite BBQ joint is Smoque BBQ in Chicago, IL. One taste of their beans creates vividly-colored pyrotechnical displays in the pleasure centers of your brain.

There are few places in Texas that aren't good, but if it has to be narrowed down, in this case based on proximity, would say Schoepfs in Belton.

My favorite barbecue joint is the Salt Lick in the Redrock Station Hotel & Casino, in Las Vegas, NV. The food is so good and the portions are humongous. Just talking about it makes my mouth water.
lanny1b at 2:26PM on 12/26/08
Living in Memphis one would assume that the world famous Rendevous would be the favorite, but Memphis is loaded with great barbecue joints. My favorite would be either Brad's Barbecue or Interstate Barbecue.
