For the past six years, I've spent a lot of time driving all over Pierce County meeting with realtors and lenders to discuss the value that Ticor Title & Escrow brings to every real estate transaction. A lot of that driving has been to and from Puyallup where a lot of the action has been for us. So over the years I have developed a short list of favorite places to stop for lunch or a snack along my route.

There's one in particular that is one of a kind in Pierce County. It's the Blue Max Sausage company. They're located on Canyon Road between River Road and HWY 512.

In my eyes, they're the butcher with the most. I can't remember the first time I stopped in but I can always remember the last because it's usually pretty recent. Are you a fan of 'artisan' beef jerky? How about pepperoni sticks that are a foot long and full of spice and flavor? Have you ever seen a butcher with restaurant style Hawaiian short ribs? The list goes on and on from smoked pork chops to WSU cheese. If you're a fan of quality meats, this place is a wonderland. And if you've never had beef jerky from a butcher, you have no idea how good it can be. And to top it all off, the best thing about Blue Max Sausage is the service. The guys behind the counter are always friendly and willing to chat about their product, the weather, or whatever. It's got a nice hometown vibe.

So if you're in the mood for a hearty change of quisine or want to impress your buddies at the next barbeque, check them out! You won't be dissapointed.

Enjoy!
