Bensenville, IL — Chef Martin Wallner, founder and creator of Chef Martin Old World Butcher Shop, will offer tastes of his retail sausage line, now available at specialty retail stores throughout the Midwest, at the Winter Fancy Food Show, Booth 452. Chef Martin uses his traditional Austrian recipes to create his all natural sausage line.  Martin’s sausages are antibiotic, hormone and gluten-free with no nitrates or MSG. At this time, the sausage line is available at select gourmet retailers throughout the Midwest, with national distribution to follow.  

Chef Martin first began making sausage when he was only four years-old while helping at his family’s butcher shop in Austria. Chef Martin’s family tradition became his passion. He continues to make his sausage the way he learned growing up – small batches with a special emphasis on quality, texture and flavor.

Chef Martin’s line of retail sausage that will be available to try at the show includes:

  • Uncured Hot Dog
  • Original Bratwurst
  • Smoked Bauernwurst: Smoked Garlic Sausage
  • Käsekrainer: Alpine Cheese Bratwurst
  • Jalapeño Cheddar Bratwurst
  • All Pork Breakfast Sausage

"I’m so proud to tell our customers that in addition to being an all-natural, no nitrates and no filler sausage, they are now antibiotic and hormone-free. As always, the most important thing about my sausage is that they are still the best you’ve ever tasted,” says Chef Martin. “We continue to add new products to our line and they’re only getting better.”

Visit Chef Martin Wallner and sample his Old World Butcher Shop sausage at the Winter Fancy Food Show Booth 452, Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA from January 17-19, 2016.
