The Polish Sausage (stylized: ‘sassidge’) is a lesser known Chicago staple that rivals the classic Chicago Hot Dog in terms of sheer deliciousness. In order to make sure this recipe is the real deal I had to head over to Jim’s, a Maxwell Street staple that ORIGINATED the sandwich and has been cranking ‘em out for decades. Let’s get cooking!🤘🏼 Adam

    The Polish is definitely an underrated Chicago food staple 😊 Watching this makes me want one now😅
  • @smik2969
    As an extra Chicagoan who lived in Minnesota for 25 years and who recently moved to Texas from Washington DC, your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I learned about you after you worked with Chud’s BBQ and have enjoyed your videos ever since. Truly making me miss sweet home Chicago, while simultaneously motivating me to cook these delicious meals at home. Texas BBQ is great, but I’ve been craving something different lately.

    Wow, the quality and information in this video was insane!
  • @jacobmccain8082
    Never understood how sausage, peppers, and onions on a bun could be so simple while being SO good...
  • @electroreviews01
    Moved from Morton Grove to Florida in 2013. Haven’t felt as homesick as I do after watching this video in at least 5 years. Wonderful polish. Great work.
  • @joshualaird5303
    We have 2 main butchers where I live and neither makes a decent sausage... You are blessed to be in Chicago food wise
  • Polish sausage,(kielbasa), traditionally is pork butt, salt, pepper, garlic...the only beef might be beef fat in the case of lean butter, the milk powder is added is the dextrose required by usda regs. to start fermentation.
  • One more reason to get to Chicago! These two did an amazing job of making sassidge from scratch, and the history lesson was very insightful. Thank you!
  • @The_13A77
    I absolutely love your channel. So informative and still fun to watch. You sir are a professional

    My grandparents used to take me to Maxwell Street all the time when I was a kid to look for some deals. It was like a flea market.
  • @coFFeiN2801
    Amazing video Adam! Definitely not regretting finding your channel back when you had like 2k subscribers ❤
  • @GregSzarama
    My parents used to use real minced garlic, so that's another option to try. When you buy a garlic sausage in a store, it's basically a Polish sausage.

    Nice “Thwack”, Adam. 🤣
  • @PmP4Life81
    Another awesome video!!! Is there a chance we can get a breaded steak sandwich video sometime in the near future?
  • @markengel4254
    You guys did great! I’m from Chicago and retired out of state, I miss that sandwich so bad
