People Drive Out Of Their Way For The Fresh Meat At This Wisconsin Butcher Shop

A butcher shop that calls itself the maker of a famous five-foot summer sausage deserves your full attention. Five feet. That is taller than plenty of sixth graders. The sausage is only the opening act. This old-fashioned shop also stocks thirteen kinds of bacon and twelve flavors of snack sticks.
