Prause's Meat Market, La Grange

Step inside Prause's and walk up to the long meat counter to place your order for fresh meat cuts, or head back beyond the green lattice to order brisket and sausage. The brisket is tender and imbued with smoky flavor, and the sausage is slightly spicy and peppery.

Don't plan to just stroll into Prause's at any time. When these folks run out of barbecue, they close the doors. We went by at one o'clock one Saturday afternoon and found the place locked. And on Sundays, you'll find the sign reads "Gone to Fish."

Location: US 77 (on the square), La Grange
