This is one battle that’s too delicious to miss!</span></p>

<h2><em><strong>Frankfurter</strong></em></h2>

<div class="row"> <div class="column-halves"> <p>Ah, the classic frankfurter! But wait, this is so much more than your average, run of the mill frank. We can hardly call these hot dogs, but think of them more as “top dogs” thanks to being traditionally handcrafted and each batch made fresh. Josef’s franks are plump and juicy, and don’t contain any cheap fillers. These beauties are a natural for the backyard BBQ, but keep in mind they don’t need much grill time, as they come fully cooked.</p> <h3>How to Enjoy: Keep it Simple!</h3> <p>If there’s one thing Americans are crazy about, it’s toppings. From pizzas to burgers to ice cream to subs to yes, hot dogs, we love to load up our food with, well, more food. But we think the best way to enjoy Josef’s frankfurters is to keep it simple.</p> <p> </p></div></div>

<h2><b>Andouille</b></h2>

<div class="row"> <div class="column-halves"> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">It’s almost the 4th of July, and if you really want to see sparks fly, take a bite out of Josef’s Smoked Andouille Sausage!</span></p> <p>This fiery sausage is perfectly seasoned with Cajun spices, garlic, paprika, and a variety of peppers for an explosive taste. These babies aren’t for the heat sensitive pallete, so biter beware!</p> <h3><b>How to Enjoy:</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">So what’s the best way to eat this dangerous dynamite? If you’re feeling brave, we dare you to try it plain. Yeah, that’s right, plain. No bun, no ketchup, no nothing to blot out those sassy spices. See if you can stand the heat! But beware… the heat builds with each bite… But, if you’re like most people, you’ll want to enjoy your andouille in a less wild (but still fun) way.</span></p></div></div>

<h2 style="text-align: left">Josef’s Expert Grilling Tips</h2>

<p><span class="grill-tips-big-copy"><strong>✓ Don’t overcook!</strong></span></p> <p>Our brats come fully cooked, so they don’t need much time on the grill.</p> <p><span class="grill-tips-big-copy"><strong>✓ Cook over medium-low heat.</strong></span></p> <p>We realize that’s vague, but there are an awful lot of types of grills out there.</p> <p><span class="grill-tips-big-copy"><strong>✓ Cook for about 10-12 minutes.</strong></span></p> <p>Again, maintain a medium-low heat. Turn the sausages often, or until heated through. (We won’t laugh if you cut a brat in half to taste-test it!)</p>
