Bites Nearby: My Sausage Sister & Me at the Minnesota State Fair
The Sausage Sisters keep a family tradition alive—with a few twists and a Woodbury connection.
There are few food vendors at the that can trace their roots back to small town Minnesota circa the 1920s. My Sausage Sister & Me claim their origin in the butcher section of a grocery store in the town of Eden Valley.
Owned by Elmo Gaspar, the butcher block from that store was handed down to his daughters Cherie and Merry. They decided to carry on the tradition and now offer a collection of sausages at the Minnesota State Fair.
The stand is run by Cherie and Merry, as well as a team of dedicated "sausagiers." Among them is the talented mother-and-daughter team of Catherine and Andrea Schoenherr. Cherie says these Woodbury natives and sausage experts could very easily run the stand themselves.

My Sausage Sister & Me offers a constantly evolving menu of sausage flavors. First and foremost is the "The Twisted Sister," an Italian sausage wrapped in bread dough and seasoned with parmesan cheese and Italian spices. When dipped in a side of marinara sauce, it delights with flavors that are rare for the fare on Underwood Ave.
