It's not right but it's ok

Earl Campbell’s and Mahatma Rice.....

As you may have read my partner and I recently moved from Dallas to Chicago for business reasons. We love Chi-Town however there are many things that take adjusting to... The feeling that every time you step out of you home you in a scene from sex in the city, The mild summer weather, The Cab’s The differences in one neighborhood to the next and then there is the Food!

To be completely honest I was almost of the verge of packing my bags and moving back to Texas over the grocery stores not carrying Earl Campbell’s hot links, not to mention Hot links Period!
There is an abundance of sweet Italian sausage, hot Italian sausage, brats and smoked sausage, but still no hot links!

We went to a BBQ restaurant a couple weeks ago that advertised a wonderful “hot link Sandwich”….It was a long weenie with BBQ sauce on it (gag).

I was traveling last week and was able to catch up with some friends in Phoenix. When I asked Julio is there anything you can’t find here that you’re used to in Dallas? He replied yes as a matter of fact he can’t find Mahatma Rice anywhere and is planning on bringing some back on his next visit to Dallas.

I find it funny that large metropolitan cities like Chicago and Phoenix don’t carry all the tried and true brands of food products that people like me want. Especially since these cities were built on people moving here from other states.

Maybe I need to lodge a protest against our local food chain! (Picture this) me carrying a white picket sign with a picture of a juicy hot link on it, Do you think that will garner any attention?

I should mention that Chi-Town has some of the best food I have ever had. There are specialties here that you just can’t get anywhere else however hot links is not one of them…
