Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Split and toast a hoagie roll, apply German mustard liberally to both sides. Place one grilled Prasek's Hillje Smokehouse beef and pork kielbasa in the middle. Top with sauerkraut and devour with a schooner of Shiner beer. That's the recipe for this classic Texas sausage sandwich.
I ate this one at Prasek's Hillje location. Prasek's Smokehouse is descended from a long line of grocery stores in the little Czech town of Hillje that goes back to the late 1800s. The gas station and superstore is on the southbound side of Highway 59 past El Campo.
If you think Bucky's is impressive, check out Prasek's enormous superstore and the amazing variety of jerky, sausage, smoked meat, fresh-baked kolaches, cold beer, and hand-scooped Blue Bell ice cream on sale. This is another sterling Texas charcuterie that sells gas.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
