Every couple of years, I shoot down to Fayette county to visit family. Each time, I stop by Prause's on a random weekday at lunchtime, order a couple of links of sausage and a thick slice of brisket. I make my way to the back room filled with picnic style tables and find myself a seat. Now, don't get me wrong, the meat is as good as it gets, but that pepper sauce? Man-o-man alive!
Just make sure you get plenty of napkins and a heavy handful of saltines. It truly doesn't get better. The atmosphere is simply... home...
On my way out, I browse the glass counters filled with the best meats within 200 miles and order 20 lbs of raw links to fly back home. I really try to make it last, but when friends drop by at dinner and get a whif of this stuff cooking? Let's just say, it doesn't last around Eastern Washington State for more than a month or so.
