While everything at Southside Market is worth trying, today, we’re focusing on their sausage. It comes in two varieties: original beef and jalapeno cheddar, and both are absolutely delectable.

Either enjoy your sausage as part of a BBQ plate, or get it on a sandwich (our personal favorite.) Your choice of sausage is piled onto a perfectly toasted bun with all the fixings. Delicious!

If you prefer to keep things simple, opt for a sausage wrap. It’s exactly what it looks like: a sausage link on one piece of bread, meant to be folded up and enjoyed as is. It isn’t fancy, but it sure is tasty.

Other ways to enjoy the sausage at Southside include on a loaded baked potato or in a “Ranch Hand” bowl with beans, cheese, onions, and corn chips.
