• Meaty Girl: Schreiner's Fine Sausage

  When I heard about Schreiner's Fine Sausage -- a family-owned business that's provided Phoenix with fine meats since 1955 -- I was ecstatic. As I approached the unassuming red-and-white building with retro-looking signs on Seventh Street, I felt like I was on a school field trip. Once inside, I gazed with salivating wonder at all the homemade meats in the deli case and fired off questions with carnivorous enthusiasm: "Is the Cajun Boudin sausage beef and pork?"; "Do you make your own veal loaf?"; "How spicy is the Jalapeno cheese sausage?" (The answers: No, yes, and not very).
