We Are What We Eat: An Immersive History of Texas Sausage
On Thursday, March 6, FlavoryTX and The Texas Center at Schreiner University team up to present a program entitled We Are What We Eat: An Immersive History of Texas Sausage. This unique program will combine art, history, and tastes of Texas sausages for a one-of-a-kind journey that captures family traditions, Texas cultures, and the delicious outcome of an age-old process.
Supported by a grant from Humanities Texas, the event will be sponsored and hosted by Alstadt Brewery in Fredericksburg, Texas. To help tell this great Texas tale, internationally acclaimed photographer Al Rendon traveled Texas to capture the essence of this culinary culture. The visual story will be exhibited along the walls of Alstadt Brewery’s Grand Hall. A short program on the story of sausage in Texas will be presented by local historian Michael Barr, followed by a tasting of featured sausages guided by Alstadt Executive Chef Philippe Verain.
Tickets are $20 and must be purchased in advance.
