Located on South Decatur, in the same plaza as Mochiko Chicken, Amena Bakery and Trader Joes, Tina\u2019s Gourmet Sausage House is one of those places potential patrons pass by without giving a second thought while individuals opting to take a step inside are in for something quite uncommon in society of commoditized Fast Food.<\/p>\n

\"dsc04868\"

Owned by Michael Ray and managed by a young woman named Zoya, Tina\u2019s is one part artisan Sausage maker and one part importer\/purveyor of European specialty goods, a quick look at shelves displaying everything from Breads and Candies to Jams and Pickles, the refrigerator against the wall loaded with imported Dumplings while deli cases sport everything from Organic Sliced Meats to Smoked Fish, Salads and Sausages, at least eight varieties available daily with more depending on special requests or the Chef\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n

Moving the business from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in 2015, but originally learning the art of encased Meats when growing up in Ukraine, a brief talk with Michael quickly displays his passion for the craft and after discussing the subtle nuances differentiating several products the decision was made to compose an order of six items, Imported German Bread hot from the oven added last minute and split with another patron at $2.50 per half-loaf.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately told that few of the desserts are made in-house, the majority actually frozen imports that are either ready when thawed or requiring of little heating time, it was with a bite of Sourdough that the tasting got started and with a robust crust overlying a soft crumb with gentle sours the flavor was everything one might expect from Rye, though a bit of butter may have helped in areas near the heel where the center was dried out.<\/p>\n

\"dsc04867\"

Finding samples of the Portuguese Sausage less spicy than expected, the texture snappy and proper but not nearly as complex and well-composed as the Hungarian Kielbasa that compared favorably to memories from my youth, it was onward to a chilly Cod and Catfish link that was a bit *too* fishy that the tasting moved forward, only half eaten and really no better once it was warmed up.<\/p>\n

\"dsc04861\"

Far more affordable than one might anticipate, the whole lot of food only $22.54, Chicken Schnitzel was an interesting dish in that it featured an amalgam of dark and light meat fried together with Bread Crumbs, the Stuffed Cabbage featuring a lot more filler and less meat than my Grandmother\u2019s with no favors done to it by the watery pink Sauce.<\/p>\n

\"dsc04864\"

Passing on Brownies, Blondies and outsourced Pies, instead selecting two Cakes imported from overseas and finished in Tina\u2019s oven, dessert proved to be as mixed an experience as the savories before it, the Apple Cake almost like Angelfood with less sugar beneath slices of Fruit while the Brown Sugar may as well have needed a chisel to be chipped away from Coffee Cake.<\/p>\n

TWO AND A HALF STARS: Certainly a unique store worthy of a look for the attention to detail and a true Artisan\u2019s touch, Tina\u2019s Gourmet Sausage House is best accessed for exactly what the name indicates of it, though the imported goods may offer a bit of additional intrigue to Eastern European immigrants looking for specifics or locals more interested in novelty packaged goods.<\/p>\n

RECOMMENDED: Hungarian Kobas, Chicken Schnitzel, Branderburg Apple Cake.<\/p>\n

AVOID: Stuffed Cabbage Roll, Cod and Catfish Sausage, Buttercake.<\/p>\n

TIP: Those looking for a menu or catering options are encouraged to check out the website where a shopping cart can be arranged and readied for in-store pick-up or delivery.<\/p>\n

WHAT THE STARS MEAN: 5 World Class, 4 Excellent, 3 Good, 2 Fair, 1 Poor.<\/p>\n
