OK, so, you have to drive to Shoreline, then once you get to Pannonia Smokehouse the guy behind the counter is kinda gruff—but man, oh man, I’ve tasted cured meats from the far corners of the earth, and most of them are not nearly this good. This place sells itself as an Old World smokehouse using Old World recipes, which means you won’t find any of the extras you do in your typical deli case: gluten, artificial preservatives, lactic acid, smoke flavor, fillers, MSG, and colorings. What you do find is real flavor. And value. Pannonia sells over 70 varieties of meat—so I can’t claim to have tried them all yet. But I will.
