We worked with Vermont’s own 5th Quarter Butcher & Provisions to curate a 5-pound variety box just in time for grilling season (and the Fourth of July). After tasting seven of their handcrafted hot dog and sausage varieties, we picked our favorites and put them all in an exclusive bundle that showcases the flavors of Vermont. This box has 2 pounds of smoky, old-school artisanal hot dogs, plus 1 pound each of savory-sweet Maple Boudin, bright IPA-infused Beer Bratwurst and cheesy Käsewurst, all made with local ingredients. The hot dogs are some of the best we’ve tried, with a smooth, well-emulsified interior texture and a balanced flavor that isn’t too smoky, too salty or too garlicky—it’s just right. (And the natural lamb casing provides an unbeatable snap, even when steamed.) Their Beer Bratwursts get a hefty dose of crisp, hoppy flavor from local IPA Lawson’s Sip O’Sunshine; it has a slightly coarser grind than the other sausages for a traditional texture. The Maple Boudin Blanc is equal parts sweet and savory, with real Vermont maple syrup adding both sweetness and rich depth. It’s finely ground and silky-smooth, with no gristle or chunks to interrupt the flavor. Finally, we have the rich, creamy Käsewurst: Our favorite sausage of the bunch, it combines punchy white pepper and garlic with buttery Jasper Hill Alpha Tolman cheese and a touch of smoke. Like the brats, this one has a slightly coarser grind to highlight the cheese, while remaining incredibly juicy. The sausages use natural casings for a satisfying snap with every bite.

Each Artisan Hot Dog and Sausage Box has 24 links: four Maple Boudins, four Beer Bratwursts, four Käsewursts and 12 hot dogs. We have 60 total boxes available. Each box is packed by hand at 5th Quarter, so the links go straight from the butcher to your doorstep. This drop is only open for orders through midnight Sunday, June 21, or earlier if we sell out. Boxes start shipping on June 23 and will arrive in time for July Fourth parties.

The sausages are at their best when charred on the grill, but they’re also delicious pan-fried; the hot dogs are even good steamed. However you cook them up, be sure to dress your hot dogs and sausages with plenty of mustard, sauerkraut, relish and any other accouterments.

What’s in a Name?

Based in Waitsfield, Vermont, 5th Quarter takes a nose-to-tail approach to butchery that lives up to their name. While living in Rome, founder Josh Turka first heard about “quinto quarto,” a term for off-cuts like tongue, tail and tripe. It literally means “fifth quarter” and comes from the way meat was distributed in ancient Rome: The first quarter of the animal (with all the best cuts) was reserved for the nobility, the second was for the church, the third went to the bourgeoisie and the fourth to the army. The poor and working classes were left with offal and scraps, which they jokingly called the “quinto quarto.” Today, 5th Quarter aims to bring high-quality, locally-sourced meat to the masses while using every part of the animal.
