Callaway Gardens stone ground grits are the best and I do love to add seasonings the way you have. Also, love that sausage! Had forgotten about it!

Enjoy that delicious meal!!!

7. If you're near Tallahassee, be sure and stop at Bradley's Country Store.

https://www.bradleyscountrystore.com

There sausage is heaven.

You can order it online.

There are some great recipes on the website for sausage also.

8. Thanks Lochloosa ..

I will try it. For sure. Just had my physical, and my cholesterol numbers were perfect! Bring on the sausage!

On edit: Just checked out their website. Recipe for chicken and sausage gumbo. That is my signature dish!

13. Their smoked pork chops are amazing, too

I get down there sometimes, but not as often as I should, considering I only live a couple of miles from the store. I can't eat the sausage anymore - my sensitivity to hot peppers has gotten so bad that even their mild is too much. They also have excellent stone ground grits "milled on Bradley's premises from southern select Dent corn."

Frank Bradley, who was running the store when we first moved here, died a couple of weeks ago. I think Frank's grandfather started the store, and now Frank's daughter and grandchildren are running it.

The family we bought this farm from used to sell their hogs to Bradley's. They buy their raw goods - hogs, corn, jelly, and honey - locally so if you buy from them you are supporting small local farmers in this area.

14. I think that's the store my boss raves about

we are in Orlando but have locations in Tallahassee and when he goes up there for meetings and such he will often bring a cooler and stock up on his way out of town. I keep meaning to do the same but nobody has broken anything yet seriously enough for me to have to go up and fix it. Stupid responsible people not breaking stuff.

15. You can order it online. It's worth trying.

17. trolling through their page right now!

i should be working but if my boss sees me on their page he may forgive me...

[Lochloosa]

18. He would. Going there is half the fun. Sit back on the porch or the picnic benches under the oaks..

and enjoy a sausage dog.
