Bratwurst - The RIGHT Way

This is my answer to all those bratwurst videos. This is how it's done in Sheboygan, where brats come from! What more need I say? Don't pierce 'em, don't boil 'em before putting 'em on the grill, remember that brats are great alone, don't need ketchup and/or mustard, and there's so much more.

Great! Back when I was in Tennessee, my parents used to send me several dozen West Side rolls at a time. It got so they'd have to send a few extra (dozen) because the people in the shipping department at my work liked them so much. Sort of a kick-back for their service :-)

Soaking in warm beer before is an idea. Sometimes, when they're frozen I'll put them in a large bowl of warmish water to thaw them. But the warm beer sounds like a good idea for both thawing and a bit of flavor.

Thanks!

City Bakery makes great hard rolls, too. Personally, I'm a fan of West Side Bakery. We live about 125 miles from Sheboygan and you can't get any of them here, but one little store in Spring Green, WI handles Johnston, so that's what we've been getting. And yes, we lived in TN for a number of years and turned many people on to the joys of the Bratwurst.

Well, jonsbadkarma, I can see where your user name came from.

Well, this is a sort of the American Grill-Out version. I know that originally, bratwurst are very different from this, but trust me, the hard roll is a wonderful addition. I'd love to try authentic bratwurst one day, too. Thanks.

I am also a Sheboyganite (Go Pack Go!!!) and I have always soaked in warm beer and onion prior to grilling. Then of course they go back in the lightly simmering beer bath after golden brown. Okay a little burn here and there. You are correct about the Sheboygan Hard Rolls! Everytime I go visit I mail back about 6 dozen. Fuzzy the bakers rocks and also City Bakery! Yummmmmmmmm!

@melvoid Thanks for the video. Way to many variations of the Sheboygan Brat out there. We prefer hard rolls from City Bakery, but like the Johnston hard rolls as well. We live in North Carolina now and enjoy cooking brats for our southern friends! Happy New Year!

@JonsBadKarma By the way, "Jons," in your critique, the use of "your" actually meant "you are." The proper contraction for that is "you're." Please brush up on what I assume is your native language... and see if you can't improve the quality of your videos while you're at it.

Thank you for viewing.

Love, Melvoid
