Sausage

What sausage are you guys using for catering? I have tried several, but haven't settled on one that I'm really impressed with. All of those that I have used have come from Restaurant Depot as I buy in bulk majority of the time. I have tried Springhill Farms (hot and reg), Slovacek's (Reg and Jalapeno) and J Bar B. Slovacek's has been the front runner at 3.65 a pound, which is better than 5.99 a pound for Opal's and Southside at the local grocery.

Price point, Slovacek's isn't too bad, under a dollar a serving, however it's just not where I want it to be. Any recommendations?

I am strictly a catering company. I cater the Christmas, Thanksgiving and Employee Appreciation Luncheons for various schools and government entities in the DFW area. Sausage wise I only sell around 800 pounds a quarter. Brisket, ribs and boudin are king in this area. Event wise, it's mainly Turkey Legs. If I had a stick and brick set up, I guess I would look into becoming a legitimate company, however I am not, nor do I wish to go through the inspection process to do that. I'll stick to my commissary and government projects.

My trailer was inspected, and I can use it as my commissary. For parties over 400 I use the commercial kitchen at my church. If that's not available I will rent the kitchen at my local civic center.

Imma hit up Rendon Meats today. Good idea on looking at a butcher for it.
