Ron, you can just proclaim an award like that. At least until you've heard their offer for (FREE) brats for your DePue re-onion.

If somebody else want to provide them and pay, they could the official brat.

My other grandma (dad's mom) had a summer home on Lake Geneva Wisc we would use all summer long and a few nights when we crossed the blood line into Wisconsin, because drinking age was 18....

Johnsonville was Sheboygan until Sheboygan sold to Johnsonville....Sheboygans were the best! Burbulate them bad boys in beer, then yank em out of there and cook em on the grille with a toasted bun, sour kraut and hot mustard.....Or, if ya want, burbulate em, then let em cool. Pour the beer/brats into a freezer bag and let them turn to ice....Then just pull em out the night before and cook em....Best ever....

I was in the navy and Sheboygan was my home port. That was from 1953 to 1955.

Each summer they had a BRAT FEST and each corner up and down 8th st.[the main drag] they had a brat stand. At that time they would grill the brats and then put them in a pot on the back burner. This pot was filled with beer, butter and onions. The brats would simmer in this mix untill you or I came along and bought one. GOOOOOD! Bite into one of them and you think you died and gone to heaven!

That was another time in a different world.

P.S. I think Bob Hering was from Sheboygan.

At that summer house, built in 1929 by two out of work carpenters who stayed there a year until it was done, my great uncle who was a golf course developer built a wood burning outdoor fireplace out of flagstone that still stands today. Many cold fall days we would head up, rake leaves and burn them, long before all the lefties started with their ozone layer depletion crap when you could burn. Thety got it so whacked out of proportion you can't even burn real wood in an outdoor fireplace now...Anyway, we would get some Sheboygans for lunch, and dinner was steak. The fireplace had meat hooks that you would hand steaks on, then the juice would drip down on the potatoes until everything was done....

Nothing like brats and beer in cold weather...And, cold, take a squeeze of mustard right out of the fridge, and they become the breakfast of champions, or Chaaaam---PPPeeeeeeeen!!!!! as Jim Jost would say. Or, for those who prefer hot food, do a brat on the grille...Slice that bad boy the long way down the middle...Then drop a fried egg on a hunk of toasted bread. Add cheese and hash browns and you are full for lunch...

Ever go to summer fest in Milwaukee? Do the brewery tour, all 3 of them, Schlitz, Pabst, then Miller, get 18 free beers in the day, slam down a couple Sheboygans , and head out to the Safehouse for a fun evening....

Had 2 Johnsonville Smokey Brats on Potato rolls covered in cole slaw. A cold beer and that's about the best it gets..............

OK, the way I learned it here in Wisconsin, is Johnsonville Brats are one of the four basic food groups.

I like mine par boiled in beer (some would say that's another food group) with onions and green peppers, then grilled to perfection. Serve 'em up with kraut and some of the onions and peppers on a good bakery bun (no Wonder buns, here)... gotta have kraut. Should be illegal to skip the kraut.

You should see the official Johnsonville grill. Its a black 18 wheeler tank truck with the tank cut horizontally so it hinges up like a giant grill cover. A catwalk on one side lets the multiple grillers tend about a jillion of those puppies at once. They bring that out to major races at Road America, Elkhart Lake, which is nearby... its a site to behold (and taste). Sorry, I don't have a pix to post.

I personally cooked off that grille, downtown Eninitas, Ca, two years ago for the street fair on Rt. 101... You put on a pair of blue rubber bottomed gloves, and roll the brats across the grille rather than using tools....

When it was all over, the driver gave my wife and I two jumbo bags, 250 in each, or Brats, which, I think we finished up in March of this year...

Johnsonvilles in Ca, yep, Albertsons carries them, which is the midwest equivelant of Jewel Foods. But, the cost is two steps short of stoopid, just like most everything else here. Packet of 6 costs you about $6.00. I can get those all day for $2.50 back home.

Later, I'll show you the Elkart Lake Road race from the 50's, when they ran it on the streets of Elkart Lake as a road race should be run!

Skoontz...

Johnsonville Brats will sponsor BRF, when APBA quit using restrictor plates in AXS and J...

I doesn't matter...I'm still going ONLY eat Johnsonville Brats... Keep in mind that August 18th, 2007 will be the Mission Bay Antique Outboard Club's party... So, you can cook Johnsonville Brats there...I might be in the mid Worst still...

Don't worry about the price of Johnsonville brats. When they start sponsoring BRF, they'll need to raise their price again...

Waht are JOHNSONVILLE BRAT's COLORS??? Orange and blue???? LOL!!

[Skoontz]

Let me do some asking and digging at the parade today. It was pulled in for a Kiwanas event and someone usually takes pictures...

My birthday is coming up on the 18th...........I found what I want. Tim Allen will be jealous.........................

[Trident]

Yup, most people never sausage a thing before!

[Skoontz]

My Johnsonville apparel....

[Ron Hill]

Well, $2.00 discount for my next purchase of Johnsonville Brats... Is that SPONSORSHIP or what????

I know it AIN'T BIG BUCKS, but it is TWO BUCKS more than I had...

Address all E-mails to Johnsonville to Alanna.....Seems she's part of The Johnsonville Team.

BRATS are SAUSAGE!!!!!!

E-Mail them: http://www.johnsonville.com/home.html

[Skoontz]

Ask her to inquire about having one of your 45's sponsored...The kid is brilliant with that stuff....A Hill Marine/Johnsonville Brat Revolution. Broc would look good sitting behind the plexiglass encased in a 12' sausage....You could round the back by the motor and mural the nose to look like a brat!

Instead of getting dowsed in the body of water you win the race in, the driver gets a 10 gallon pot of sour kraut dumped over their head!

I betcha it would sell!

[Skoontz]

The latest styles from Paris...Only thing missing is the anarexic (sp) model Second picture, I'm the guy bending over the grille....

[Skoontz]

[David Mason]

Johnsonville might be better sponsoring a Runabout.... ;)
Put KT in a Runabout and they might just sausage up !!

[Skoontz]

good idea, Dave, but, she hates runabouts....Why, is beyond me....

[racnbns]

good idea, Dave, but, she hates runabouts....Why, is beyond me....

Maybe she's thinking by the old rule. We used to say it takes a man to run a runabout!

Today I don't know.
