Great Piece! As someone who lives in Portland, I truly appreciate this sort of positive focus to let the world know Portland is still a great place to live
It's far from a great place to live. I live here, in the middle of one of the worst area, SE. I hear multiple gun shots daily, homeless people steal everything from dirty old shoes to your cars. Portland may have some cool food options, assuming you can afford it after all the high rent, food and gas costs.
@@Tyshkevich You want to know something fun? Portland is right around the median for rent, food, and crime. It's actually below the median for violent crime. You can't even escape the mediocrity that is America today, it's everywhere.
What an amazing guy Elias is… truly an artisan who you can tell loves what he is doing. The excitement comes thru. Plus he’s pretty cute and easy on the eyes…🥰
I looove PDX!!! My girlfriends and I used to drive there on a food trip from Eugene when I lived there. Loooved living in Eugene, too! I miss the Pacific Northwest sooo sooo much!
There is truly nothing more pleasurable than seeing someone do exactly what they were made to do. Brian this series is so totally you; bleeps included. I couldn’t stop laughing during the LA pig roast, the next segment with Pilipino food and this was lovely. You are your unique self but don’t impose that on the story!
I was pretty good at B ball. Very athletic, and a tough guy. Lots of flips. Playing pickup games with the philipinos. They were awesome. But very small. Would bounce off me trying to block. I helped them up. Offering my apologies. I would tip a throw, high, and nothing but net. 3 point. Loved those boys. I remember them watching as the b ball soared through the air. They were better than me. I was just more physically fit and bigger . You savvy? Anchorage Alaska c1970s
I remember going to a little town near Portland as a kid in the 1960s named Verboort for a sausage festival. Verboort sausage. The best sausage I ever had served family style on long tables with mashed potatoes and all the trimmings including pie for dessert.
That final dish is honestly one of the best sounding things ever for a cold fall evening.....St Patty's day isn't the only time for cabbage, potatoes & spicy meat
What a wonderful conversation to listen in to. The fella was intoxicating with his enthusiasm. I doubt I will see this product on the shelves here (Britain) though.
Brian I think you're one of the best and I enjoy watching you. If you're ever in Portland OREGON and have time I'd like to meet you and talk about cooking possibly.
I absolutely love sausage. My heritage is Bavarian, and I pickle everything in sight with my own self-made vinegars. I live and work in Seattle's Pike Place Market where Uli's sausage keeps me reasonably happy but I always love my return trips to Portland. That said, Cleveland's historic West Side Market is a must. When I still lived in Cleveland, there were over 20 polycultural sausage vendors in the market! Tonight dinner is my homemade four-month ferment cabbage, rutabaga, and horseradish kraut with Uli's liver sausage and my own baby potatoes from our rooftop garden. . . happy camper!
God, I miss Portland. I’m glad Bryan enjoyed it so much, he watched the sausage more than his language! And a bonus puppy at the end! The perfect video!
Thank you. This was really interesting to learn the processes and more so, to have better options than mass produced Italian mild, hot, & honey garlic. Whatever you make with sausage today this will provide a refreshing change to your meals.
I love his commitment to excellence and the entire team backs and executes it as well. I've never heard of his company but I'm definitely going to check it out and order! Great video!
They aren't the cheapest I have ever seen but what I have had of theirs is very good!!! I have some ties to Switzerland and after seeing that he did his apprenticeship there comes as no surprise, they make great sausages over there. Do they make Cervelats also?
Okay, I want to see an update on America's Test Kitchen's choucroute garnie recipe now. I'm mean the one that's there now is fine, but something inspired by Olympia Provision's version would be awesome!! I love that they scored and browned the sausages. There's a really good brined fresh ham recipe at ATK. Maybe adopt leftovers from some variation of that to use in the choucroute garnie? I've made ATK's sauerkraut before, but I'm betting some refinements for this new recipe could really step this up!
Wow, amazing sausages - I would love to try all of them. Plus, it's nice to see some good stuff coming out of Portland after what has happened there over the past few years!
Sounds like we in Portland experienced an apocalypse. I think we were hit with similar difficulties as everywhere. There was a pandemic, civil unrest, and inflation that hit most of the country from what I understand. We have a lot of homeless. Having been to many cities, it's high, but still comparable. Portland still has plenty of businesses. And our food scene was ranked as #1 in the country according to a study by wallethub. While you'll find plenty of Oregonians who consider Portland destroyed, I think people should view it themselves, and keep in mind that everywhere is still recovering.
The only thing that happened to Portland is the tourism dried up due to the pandemic and all the right wing bullshit propaganda about the city burning and riots all the time. The city didn't burn, the riots weren't a big deal, everything's fine. There's homelessness, same as any other expensive city with weather nice enough to survive outside, that's about it.
SO INSPIRATIONAL. I lived in Bavaria for four years and it spoiled me rotten for good wurst. Every little village had its own recipe, and each one was full of actual ingredients and no filler. It was so disappointing to come back to Australia to mediocre charcuterie. I wish we had Olympia Provisions here.
I wasn't sure they were going to covering Olympia provisions off the title. There are a few other really good sausage makers in the city. Olympia is great, and they do so many things. Their charcuterie is also top shelf. I've seen the owner before on youtube. I didn't live in Portland at the time though and never made note. He was on a show called Price Points where he identified high end meats.
This is cool I'll have to check it out! I work in Portland Oregon. And live over the bridge. I'll definitely have to try his line of products. I have a question though I don't know much about these processes why would you want moldy meat? Genuinely curious.
It helps and aids with fermentation. And is totally harmless, unless you are allergic to penicillin. Very similar to the white mold you get on Camembert and brie :) Hope this helps. Also, Hi from New Zealand :)
Mold and yeast can be used as tools in foodmaking. In the use of white mold for his salumi, that mold is protective. It is a relation of penicillin. It prevents other, bad bugs from setting into the meat. It also adds to the flavor of the charcuterie. There are bad molds for food, but they are specifically culturing a type that's safe for humans. This is similar to how yeast cultures work, or sauerkraut, where we are using good bugs to keep out bad. Sounds like you live near us. It's totally worth checking out. They can be busy later in the day. If I want to go there, I try for when there's less traffic (I'm sure you know since you commute).
Brian, love the series. Would it be possible for yourself, or someone at CC to develop and make a recipe for Kasekrainer? I would love to try and make this at my home. I am an avid hunter, and love to make different sausages from my various game meats.
Best German deli I know of is in Portland. N.W Portland if memory serves. It's been there for over 70 years. Don't know this place as I moved from Portland in the early 70's.
Portland use to be so nice, nowadays the homeless do what they want. Most shops left, or have boarded up windows. I accidentally stepped in human poop on the sidewalk. Since covid hit Portland has gone so far down hill.
Love it! May your wonderful sausage help reform the city of Portland & Oregon in general, to the beautiful city it was and can BE moving forward. 🙏🏼🇺🇸😍🤩
I knew they were talking about Olympia Provisions as soon as they said sausage in Portland!
Great Piece! As someone who lives in Portland, I truly appreciate this sort of positive focus to let the world know Portland is still a great place to live
What a lie. Do you work for the tourism board? Portland is Hell
Portland is disgusting and full of homeless who need mental help. It's very very sad I'll try not to go back now thanks

These guys are some of my favorite clients to shoot photos for, total riot on set, make a great product, and is full of wonderful people.
Great people! ❤

My sister sent me a gift of Olympia salami about 7 years ago, and I've been a fan ever since. Thanks for this video, Bryan! Great job!
Eli Cairo is such a chill dude
Very informative on both end's there! Great video and thanks for sharing!

The Best of the Best! OP ! Good quality food and great tasting. Very professional and trusted. Great video and presentation. Thanks ATK !👍

They had the 88th yearly festival last week. I did not get to go again this year, but I fully intend to go next year.
Yummy 😋

What a wonderful conversation to listen in to. The fella was intoxicating with his enthusiasm. I doubt I will see this product on the shelves here (Britain) though.
Just bought the summer sausage from whole foods today and it’s so good. Definitely a new staple in my house.
Brian I think you're one of the best and I enjoy watching you. If you're ever in Portland OREGON and have time I'd like to meet you and talk about cooking possibly.
Quite an operation! Glad my local Whole Foods carries Olympia Provisions.
but not all of it, they got a lot more than what WF carries. Made a trip to Portland last year and huge difference.

Thank you ATK and Bryan for an entertaining and informative presentation. I look forward to trying out Olympia’s Greek sausage product, loukaniko.
"Bryan, language, except we're going to use that for the intro because it's funny!"
Portland resident here. This video is smooth af don’t know how else to describe it hahah. Props to both of you
The footage is fantastic, really interesting to watch
Love this!
This is great information. Wish I could visit this place.
On my list to check out on my next visit to The Rose City!
Portland has phenomenal food everywhere
Love this type of info.
Portland, baby. It's what's happening.
God, I miss Portland. I’m glad Bryan enjoyed it so much, he watched the sausage more than his language! And a bonus puppy at the end! The perfect video!
Jalapeño cheddar kielbasa.. that alone makes me grateful for my life and , life in all it’s good/ bad. Soooooooooo good
I'll have to make a day trip from Seattle to try the fare at Olympia.
Thanks ATK for highlighting this small business!
You needed the Beaver deli mustard with that.
Omg I watched this at 7 am and my mouth was watering if I ever get to Portland belive me I am stopping in to have exactly what you had Brian.
I am enjoying this series SO MUCH! Another great episode.
I visited Portland once. On that single weekend I ate there twice! Love their products.
I highly enjoyed sausage at Wurstfest in New Braunfels, TX last week.
I have been to Wurstfest before years ago and loved it. Will have to return sometime.
Wish I was there. Fascinating!
I've got to try cooking the potatoes that way, almost German style but not quite.
Thank you. This was really interesting to learn the processes and more so, to have better options than mass produced Italian mild, hot, & honey garlic. Whatever you make with sausage today this will provide a refreshing change to your meals.
I love his commitment to excellence and the entire team backs and executes it as well.
I've never heard of his company but I'm definitely going to check it out and order! Great video!
Best city ever
Eli is true master of his craft.
Amen to that true Statement!!
Been my favorite since I moved to Vancouver. A taste of Europe when I eat their sausage.
I live here and I’ve never tried - must try! Got to support local ❤
come for the sausage, stay for the adorable puppy at the end
Olympia Provisions is seriously amazing. Thank you for showcasing.
Omg. Your killing me. !! I want to get to this place. Old way IS THE RIGHT WAY 😊
Great episode!! RAISE THE ROOF
Gosh I just adore Olympia Provisions. I think I’ll have to stop by and pick up the stuff to make that dish. 😋
They aren't the cheapest I have ever seen but what I have had of theirs is very good!!! I have some ties to Switzerland and after seeing that he did his apprenticeship there comes as no surprise, they make great sausages over there. Do they make Cervelats also?
You've sold me: I'm going this weekend!
He always orders bratwurst. When I go to a new lunch spot I always order chili. If the chili is good, I'm happy.
It's like the Margherita pizza of sausage apparently.

I've been buying Olympia Provisions goods online for years. A+ reporting, Bryan!
Looks really good. I just ordered from them and got free shipping.

Swiss sausage? Never before I have heard of such thing.

Love Olympia, Otto's is also outstanding (in Portland).
whoop whoop!
I need to make all of it, I need to eat ALL OF IT!
Ironically, I was having choucroute for dinner while watching this. Yours looked sooo much better than mine! 😋
YAY PORTLAND WOO
Wish I were there now eating a few pieces with these men.
Olympia Provisions Best Sausage
Best!
I would love to work there. My kind of place.
Impressive! WoW!!
Bryan - you are a delight to watch. LANGUAGE!!! :)
anywhere bryan is that's where the best "sausage" is. 🙂
Is there a conecuh sausage in portland?
Sheboygan, Wi.
This looks good, but come to some of the German areas of Texas if you wanna have the best sausage in the world.
Been to Fredericksburg and around. The sausages aren’t really comparable, in my experience.
@@pacmanc8103 try harder!
@@frothywalrus Try harder?
😊 delicious
All those meats look amazing. Another reason to visit Portland, OR.
Please consider opening a place near Boston.
Portland use to be so nice, nowadays the homeless do what they want. Most shops left, or have boarded up windows. I accidentally stepped in human poop on the sidewalk. Since covid hit Portland has gone so far down hill.
It was pretty nice for the first ~3 months of lockdown/quarantine or whatever you call it.
Yeah I see the technique you're talking about, frame #4:11 at waist high. Special natural method huh? Sure you're right.
If I would have had the bowl put in front of me, and was told to grab a fork, my reaction probably would have been the same!
Love it! May your wonderful sausage help reform the city of Portland & Oregon in general, to the beautiful city it was and can BE moving forward. 🙏🏼🇺🇸😍🤩
Good start. Might be the best in the northwest. I found their offerings a little bland. Try looking to the midwest for America's best sausage.
Bryan is a jewel in the ATK crown, love this man
Cabbage recipes please!
Found all these on Amazon.
Bryan! Language! lolol I'd say thats a good sign! :D
FYI for people. Historically a heck lot of Swiss immigrants have come to the Portland area.
Yes Bryan that stuff is FUCKING GOOD Eli can cook alittle 🤣🍻🤠
11:45 BILLS MAFIA
😋👍🏻
F bomb on ATK?!
All these years I’ve been sheltered in how the sausage gets made…
The art of trade? You have to be in the room where it happens.
I don't go to Portland Oregon to many bums and crime is out of control.
YES, BRIAN…LANGUAGE!! 🤨
