Bill, aka the SauceDude, spent a number of years in Wisconsin--he loved the cheeses, but not the Packers.  (He'll always be a die-hard Vikings fan.)  What Bill really loved about Wisconsin, though, were the brats.  Fresh bratwurst sausages, simmered in beer and onions and then grilled, are known as "Wisconsin's Soul Food."  Nestled in a chewy roll, slathered with good brown mustard and served with a side of German potato salad, there's nothing better.  The SauceDude adds a dollop of our Glace de Viande to the beer for an extra hit of savory flavor.
