I LOVE YOUR HOT LINKS. I ALSO HAVE A FRIEND THAT MOVED TO JACKSON MISS. HE WOULD LIKE ME TO SHIP YOUR LINKS TO HIM.
HE SAYS THERE IS NO LINKS IN THE SOUTH COMPARED TO YOURS. THE ONLY PLACE WE KNOW TO PURCHASE YOUR LINKS IS TRAVIS AFB COMMISSARY. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH IF YOU WOULD GIVE ME INFORMATION ON HOW I CAN ORDER YOUR LINKS AND SHIP THEM TO HIM. SINCERELY YOURS, GEORGE N CAGER JR.

One piece of good news is that the neon sign still exists, and is actually still illuminated from time to time. I can’t substantiate it, but I read somewhere that San Jose has instated a sign preservation policy, and now requires the historically significant “googy” signs must be preserved when buildings are demolished.

Stephen’s Hot Links (Beef and pork) can be purchased from Willow Glen Meats in San Jose. I must warn you however, they’ve gotten very pricey. I was quoted $47.50 for a case last week. Price increase justification (s)- (1) Cost of fuel (2) Casing price went up. (3) Because they can. Haven’t paid that price “yet” but, a couple of my friends which I introduced the Links too, are seriously considering paying the $47.50

When we were living in Morgan Hill, I would take the hike up to San Jose and get enough to load my freezer. There was NONE better!
Great pictures, thank you.
Does anyone have a lead on good sausage.
Out here in Arkansas, we have two kinds of cookin’, fried and Bar-B-Q.

STEPHEN’S LINKS are the best ever. Being stationed at Travis AFB, Ca…those links and hamhocks were in our Air Force commisssarys. They were so good after moving here to Dallas, Tx I stilled ordered them via FedEX. I’ve been sick and NOW they’re gone. What’s next sliced bread….Please tell me where I can get some of those links. ASAP for the holidays

I grow up on the meat from this place my dad went there every week up unitl he died i remember they would call him and tell him that his order was ready i remember the 1st time i went with him i thought it was a old place. until i got older and started buying my meat from them as well because the store meat did not even compare at all to it. I moved away from san jose but i would still drive from sacramento to san jose to get my meat from them it was that good i hated it when they closed there doors but i was told i could get there meat still from a local butcher but now he does not carry it does anyone know where i can get the meat if i still can.

Thanks for having this info. Any “hot” leads to good sausage? Hubby wants real HOT links and having trouble finding. We use to get Stephen’s – now it’s a challenge! Great info and history. Thank you.

Thanks Faith. It was sad to see this place go, and it was a wonderful experience to see it before it did.
