An epic porcine discovery! I only happened upon this place because of a flyer we picked up at the Queen Creek Olive Mill. My fellow traveler and I are fans of all things meaty and delicious, so this seemed an appropriate destination during our exploratory roadtrip of the Queen Creek environs.\n\nMost authentic andouille sausage I have found in Arizona! I whipped up some jambalaya with the coiled porky goodness I procured at The Pork Shop and it made the dish sing! I have often been troubled by the tendency of lesser meat purveyors to sell what they call \"andouille\" when, in fact, it is not. The Pork Shop's version will steer you right. This is a proper emulsified sausage with the correct proportions of smoke and spice including a touch of cayenne and bay leaf.\n\nI'm sure the bacon and all of the other offerings are fantastic (and I will indeed return to shop for fine charcuterie here), but I can only report on what we sampled. The green chile pork burrito, served ready-to-eat, is bomb-diggity. Shredded, well-seasoned pork, chewy tortilla, green chile. It's worth stocking up on these and storing 'em in the freezer because once you've tried them, you WILL crave them!\n\nHonorable mention goes to the meat sticks. We only tried the jalapeno and cream cheese version, but that was enough to sell me on the tastiness of these snacks. They had some of these cut up in the store for samples, but I did not get a good first impression. The key (as advised by the friendly store staff) is to heat these up ever-so-slightly to release the flavors. A few seconds in the microwave at home and I became a believer!\n\nMay the power and the glory of pork be with you...
