Anyone familiar with this place?
Crawford Sausage Company is a fairly large factory, one of the last Eastern European businesses remaining in Little Village (the only other I'm aware of is Troha's Shrimp House on 26th, family-owned since 1920). Crawford Sausage started in 1925, when Pulaski Road was known as Crawford Avenue. Their Daisy Brand sausages are sold at a fair number of local delis and markets. It seems Daisy occupies a similar market niche as the upstart Bobak's (1967), moderately priced specialty sausages a big step up from Oscar Mayer et al. but below the quality of some small local artisanal shops. I was aware (from their website) that Daisy made klobosy, or cream sausage, but have never seen it in any store. I've been hoping to stop by the factory to get some but I'm always stymied by their early closing hours (noon on Saturday, closed Sunday). I have my doubts it would measure up to Jim's but you never know. And all this has reminded me I have yet to visit Morini's to see if Jim's klobosy has reappeared in La Grange Park.
