Anyone who’s hosting a Thanksgiving meal this year is probably about to get into full swing. There’s a lot of planning that can go into a meal like this one. Most of us stick with our old stand-bys. There’s nothing wrong with that, but we have something that might be new to you – and […]

Recently, we’ve had quite a few people call us asking for an even thicker slice of bacon than our classic sliced Applewood Smoked Bacon – which was no slouch in the thickness department as it was.  In the past, we would have suggested that these individuals buy a piece of our unsliced slab bacon and […]

We know that a great many people are enjoying more heat in their foods these days.  Jalapeños, while on the low end of the heat scale, provide a little zip and the pleasant note of roasted pepper when cooked on the grill.  You can stuff these little peppers with a great many delicious things and […]

This year is one more that we can count our trip to the Fancy Food Show as a big success.  Nueske’s always has a good time at the show talking with chefs, restaurateurs, and our other food business friends – but it would be untrue to say we didn’t have just a little more fun […]

Spring has always meant certain things to us, here at Nueske’s.  The obvious correlation between this crocus-filled transitional season and smoked meats is the demand for Easter hams… but for everyone who works here, we’ve been waiting for something else.  We know that spring is the time for kielbasa.  In many Polish households, kielbasa is […]

We were just told that today, February 25th, is National Clam Chowder Day.  You might wonder why we bring this up.  That’s simple: chowder is really, really good – but it’s even better with bacon.  Here in Wittenberg, we generally don’t make it any other way. You may not think of the Midwest when you […]

If you’re in the Chicago area, or even within reasonable driving distance, you’ll want to seriously consider getting tickets to this year’s Baconfest Chicago event.  Tickets may seem a bit pricey at $65.00… but only at first glance.  What a ticket gets you is an all-access pass to try dozens and dozens of dishes created […]
