Back in Columbus there was an Italian butcher shop/grocery store called Carfagna's that made really good Italian sausage. I assumed when we moved to Chicago there would be good Italian butcher shops all over the place to get authentic sausage. I was wrong. At least in the areas we frequent.

That has now changed with the discovery of Caputo's. We picked up a pound of their hot Italian sausage on Wednesday night and grilled it up last night. I think it is actually better than Carfagna's, and not just a little bit better. It is REALLY good. Very juicy. Seasoned well. NO gristle or bone bits.

I can't wait until the next time now.
