worth the take? How does one cook triple smoked bacon? Any Wurst’s we should check out? Rost Bratwurts maybe? Polish sausage? Kielbasa? Plan on getting some smoked pork chops, as well as some liverwurst. Hot dog wise, how do... (70 replies, last updated by bostonbeefeater November 24, 2009)

. They had a sign for Italian sausages but none in there. I’m not sure I would pay 8.19 a lb for their It. sausage when I can get great ones from Depasquale’s for less than half that price. Note 2: Whenever I peek into... (0 replies, last updated by Wursthof December 23, 2008)

Hi! I’m planning my annual Oktoberfest which always includes a trip to Karl's. I was wondering though if there are any alternatives south of Boston – I moved to Bridgewater last year, and it’s really hard to... (3 replies, last updated by ScubaSteve September 24, 2007)

After reading about it here, I finally got to Karl’s Sausage Kitchen after a hike at the Breakheart Reservation a couple of months ago and have gone there several times since. It is really worth a drive! All their sausages... (3 replies, last updated by StriperGuy December 20, 2004)

snappy dogs and I don’t think Karl's will give much snap when grilled. But thanks for the recommendation- I always forget how much I love Karl's until I’m there facing all the beautiful sausages and other German... (2 replies, last updated by Karl S September 28, 2006)

A few of my favorites at Karl's are the white bratwurst and the rostbratwurst. They also make a great hotdog if your into them. Smoked pork chops, smoked bacon, maybe some black forest ham might make you happy. Absolute MUST for... (13 replies, last updated by GretchenS May 8, 2007)

a great place that i never miss going into when i’m up that way. amazing sausages and such that come out of what always looks to be a spotlessly clean kitchen. try the triple smoked bacon—it’s fantastic. (17 replies, last updated by ju March 15, 2005)

New item at Karl's. Fresh made by them. I’m not a good judge of such things, but I thought they were yummy. (1 reply, last updated by C. Hamster June 9, 2008)

So, I have recently realized that we live quite nearby Karl's Sausage Kitchen, but haven’t checked it out. I noticed the smoked pork chop post below – what else do hounds recommend there? Thanks! (19 replies, last updated by lisa13 January 6, 2008)

I’m sure the address and phone number is available through superpages.com (BTW the correct name is Karl's Sausage Kitchen.) I don’t know it offhand except to say that it’s on Route 1 North, in Danvers or Saugus.... (4 replies, last updated by Karl S. May 17, 2002)

Buddy of mine was at Karl's trying to pick up some smoked pork chops; sadly they were sold out. They told him that around the holidays it is hard to keep up because IT TAKES A WEEK in the smoker to smoke the pork chops. Holy cow,... (15 replies, last updated by applehome January 2, 2008)

Here’s another vote for the rostbratwurst – it’s my favorite of Karl's sausages. I’d also recommend picking up some of their excellent frankfurters (and get some of that black forest ham for lunch the next... (13 replies, last updated by junior coyote October 17, 2007)

a batch on Sun. using N.E. sausage and had to dump out a ton of oil before adding the rest of my ingredients, don’t need to do that with Dom’s. For other sausages, Karl's is great IMO. (8 replies, last updated by 4chowpups April 8, 2005)

I don’t know about MBTA access, but Karl's Sausage Kitchen on Route 1 (northbound side) in Saugus is fantastic. German-run, they make many kinds of sausage and cured meats (speck, anyone?). It’s where I go for my... (16 replies, last updated by GretchenS January 16, 2006)

We had a great time. Started at Karl's – just after 11 – empty like you say. I bought some triple smoked bacon, bacon, bratwurst and a swedish potato and pork sausage ring. Also some pretzel sticks by the Swiss... (25 replies, last updated by chowmel April 8, 2007)
