As a friend, Ms. Norris used to be a regular down at my business on Pier 41 a number of years ago. Any time food was involved, her presence made a tremendous contribution and for that (and a variety of other reasons) she is missed. If she brings that passion for grub that I experienced to at our get-togethers to Grindhaus, I'm sure it will be a winner. As for those taking umbrage with the fact that she is dealing with animal flesh, stop being weenies!

Felix you are a disgrace to cats

Mind your own business when it comes to German Sausage

Erm, is Felix just a troll? Anyway, people have been eating sausage for centuries and I will continue this great tradition.

If you think all natural hippies don't like..well...you're insane. I've been to hippy colonies where they eat the crap you are talking about and frankly they stink. It smells worse than an Athenian subway car in August. Your body stinks no matter what you do: face it.

. The boring rituals of workday productivity and socialized etiquette will no longer mean anything to a man who has fallen in love, for there are more important forces guiding him than mere inertia and deference to tradition.

Tradition is one of the lamest excuse there is. How about doing something for a purpose instead of doing something because it was done in the past.

http://www.meat.org/, Body smells are unique. Everyone has her own body smell. Capitalists don't like individuality. There are millions of body smells but only a few deodorant smells. Capitalists like that.Deodorants hide the damage that capitalist products cause your body. Eating meat and other chemical-filled foods sold by capitalists makes you smell bad. . Capitalists don't want you to stop eating meat.

. Deodorant-users are insecure. Capitalists like insecure people. Insecure people don't start trouble. Insecure people also buy room fresheners, hair conditioners, makeup, and magazines with articles about dieting.

. Deodorants are unnecessary. Capitalists are very proud of that and they win marketing awards for it.

A sausage fest in Red Hook? What, is someone having a hardcore matinee headlined by Agnostic Front?

ba-dum chissshh.

There is also an awesome new beer hall style place in Gowanus called the Draft Barn! I love these places

@ides of march, Facists?, Nazis?. Damn, you are one miserable fuck

Not as miserable as one who feels the need to curse out other commenters.

to call vegetarians nazis,tyrants and fascists sounds hateful and hate origins from misery. Anyhow, do you know why we buy deodorants?

Deodorants hide the damage that capitalist products cause your body. Eating meat and other chemical-filled foods sold by capitalists makes you smell bad. . Capitalists don't want you to stop eating meat.

Ides of march, let me please rephrase my comment, Damn, you are one miserable capitalist.

Your tinfoil hat is wrapped rather tightly today. Don't want any common sense infiltrating that protien deficient brain of yours.

I'm off to get a juicy capitalist cheeseburger. Take that Lenin!

Don't forget the deodorant and take an aspirin in case of a heart attack which you will eventually have from eating those juicy capitalist cheeseburgers.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with Ides but, Felix, stop being a tool. If you don't want to eat sausage, don't go to Grindhaus, don't eat sausage and please, stop being a concern troll to those of us who like a bratwurst every once in a while. c'est la vie and all that...

I would venture to guess, by its location and the type of establishment they are setting themselves up to be, the sausage will be any or any combo of the following:

1.local 2. organic 3. handmade

I will research further and report back.

Pissyrabbit, we may actually find some restaurants this year focusing on price/ value/ bang for buck versus adhering to the sometimes (perplexingly) costly locavore movement.

The folks behind this spot are far from newbies to the neighborhood, giving them the advantage of knowing what their immediate audience is interested in- good food, decently priced and some beer n whiskey to wash it down with.

The tofu tyrants, food fascists and health food nazis will have a fit of apoplexy over this.

Good.

Sausage, specifically pork sausage, is loaded with fat. It’s also processed up the wazoo and seasoned with sometimes-suspect spices and chemicals. When it comes to meats, sausage is probably one of the worst offenders. And what’s worse, the European Food Safety Authority recently found that a red food coloring in cheap sausages, called Red 2G, could cause cancer. They’re not sure how much of the dye one can consume before things get critical, but it’s clear that it should be avoided.
