\"Wild<\/a><\/p>\n

Another edition of Local Food Good. \u00a0McDonald’s Meats<\/a> in Clear Lake, MN is a “A Family Tradition of Quality Meats” since 1914.<\/p>\n

Although their billboard deems them “The Jerky Stop,” their true calling is their sausage. I can see, perhaps, why they may not have wanted to call it the sausage stop. \u00a0Even if so named, people would quickly find lots of different flavors of sausage and other tasty meats inside that would ease any confusion. \u00a0Over 80 flavors of homemade sausage – yum.<\/p>\n

Their sausage is featured at the Nelson Bros. Restaurant, Pub and Bakery<\/a> just down the way on 24; in between I94 and Hwy 10. \u00a0Their biscuits and gravy with the wild rice sausage is the best I have ever had.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

McDonald’s Meats site is quite convenient as it sits in between two major corridors (I94 & Hwy 10) to Minnesota’s north county. \u00a0It is hard to drive by this place in the Spring, Summer and Fall. \u00a0It seems as though just about every Friday afternoon\/evening they would have brats and pork chops on the grill in the parking lot; that beats fast food any day. \u00a0The next time you are in the area stop in and have some samples. \u00a0This establishment will not disappoint you.<\/p>\n

This mornings wild rice sausage paired very well with an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. \u00a0Happy tummy.<\/p>\n
