One hundred feet of sausage at Esposito's

One hundred feet of sausage at Esposito's
Esposito's Meats (1001 S. Ninth St.), a fixture in Philly's Italian Market for a century, is celebrating its 100 years in business in the most apropos way imaginable — pumping out a 100-foot-long Italian sausage on May 14, the first day of the Italian Market Festival. Though the easy way to pull off this feat would be to commission a 100-foot-long synthetic sausage casing to hold the behemoth realization of his secret family recipe, Louis Esposito II is a purist through and through — thus he and his butchers have developed a way to create an all-natural casing 100 feet in length.
The Esposito clan is further honoring the butcher shop's 1911 birthdate by donating $1911 to Bucks County's Comprehensive Learning Center for Autism. Festival attendees need only toss $1 into the pot and they'll receive a pound of sausage in thanks. (They'll clearly have enough to go around.)
