Wurst is best on Amtrak NEWSWIRE

NEW YORK – Dining on Amtrak trains is sometimes wonderful and sometimes it’s awful. However, according to the New York Times Magazine, one Amtrak food item is winning universal praise: bratwurst. The hickory-smoked pork sausage is seasoned with onion, garlic, and spices and isn’t emulsified like many other brats, so “you get more meat flavor,” Mike Sloan of Missouri-based manufacturer Swiss Meat and Sausage Co. told the Times. It has become such a hot item that it can sell out in 20 minutes on many routes. If you’d like to try one without climbing on board a train, Swiss Meat sells the brat – called Best of Show – online.
