Verdict
listed — A counter that cuts steaks to a thickness you name and smokes its own sausage is worth knowing about if you are cooking in Bell County, and thirty-eight years on Central Avenue counts for something. No judgment on the sausage exists outside the shop's own account of how it works. The lunch pit is the cheap way to find out.
