Video Transcript

"What to do, I'm Lawrence Holmes and I'm here in front of my Rib Shack, Big Papi's in beautiful North Hollywood, California and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to teach you how to prepare, smoke and barbecue you some sausages. Now we are going to talk a little bit about sausages. You know sausages is about 2000 years old. It's derived from the word sauces, which is Latin for salt. And you have to realize that back in the day, they didn't have no refrigerator or anything like that. They didn't havw any ice coolers, so they had to whip salt into their meats to perserve it. So that's how they got things done back in the day. Now you know back in American History, you know they, we got plenty of sausages. Sausauges come from all parts of the world and represents different parts of the region. Like the German sausages, Knockwursts, Bratwursts and all that stuff. Hey, we have to remember the New Yorkers up top over there. They love them Itlain sausages. Down South, they love them Louisiana sausages, which is what we are working with today, which is my Daddy's favorite, and these are special to me becuase they remind me of back home, back in '74 when my daddy, you know, got that pay check and he got his little box of sausages and he had a barbecue and invited some friends back over. So what I'm gonna to do is invite you back to my daddy's them barbecue, back in the day and show you how to make these little bad puppies."
