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 (January 1) 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.

Smitty's in Lockhart, TX is definitely my favorite. My rowing team used to train in Austin, TX during the winter and we would go to Smitty's where our coach purchased 250 lbs. of meat for us to consume. That was probably the first time ever our team couldn't finish a meal. And of course all the seniors got the prime rib... delicious.

Too many possibilities. But let's say Arthur Bryant's in KC, not just for the brownies and the brisket, but for the copy of the wonderful editorial cartoon on the wall. It ran just after Bryant died. There he is at the pearly gates. St. Peter has greeted him, and we see them from the rear as Peter, his arm around Bryant's shoulder, guides him, and asks (gently, we can imagine, but with a certain urgency), "Did you bring the sauce?"

We don't have any BBQ joints in the community where I live. The closest thing we have is a community away, and it's called Buffalo Wings. I don't think that really counts. When we want Barbecue we usually just make our own sauce and do it ourselves at home. Blessings to all for all of 2009.

The Pit in Raleigh,NC. Absolutely amazing. "Holy Smokes" a book about NC BBQ just had their book release party there. This BBQ joint is upscale and has been featured in Gourmet magazine. And believe it or not they have amazing vegetarian items as well. So meat eaters and non can enjoy a meal. Excellent dining experience and no one thought "upscale" and "bbq" went together!

While I'll say that Southside Market has the best sausage and if you're within a hundred miles of Elgin, make sure you drop in; if you are looking for the best brisket, you have to go a little bit further out of your way to Dripping Springs, Texas to find a nifty little joint called SALT LICK Barbecue. Texans take there barbecue serious, and there is none more serious than this. Great food, generous portions, and not too harsh on your wallet. It's where I take my family for special get-togethers...

In a tiny town called Lockhart nicknamed "The BBQ Capital of the USA", pocketed away 30 miles south of Austin, is a famous rib joint named Kreuz Market. It was founded in 1900 and began as a meat market. They now serve the most mouth-watering, finger-lickin' BBQ'd ribs, sausage, brisket, and pork chops your taste buds have ever had the pleasure of savoring!!! Thank you for the contest!

It's so hard to say exactly what my favorite BBQ place is. Famous daves has great sauce, Lucielle's has great BBQ, but Redhill BBQ in Upland, CA. is truely authentic Louisiana BBQ.
I would have to say for a dive Redhill BBQ in Upland, CA is truly the best.
