Meet Bartending Luchador Jesse Powell

by Steven Doyle

I have been checking in at Scotch and Sausage as of late and enjoy how chef Joey Allette has kicked up the menu with his fresh take, and of course always into a good scotch or whiskey. But as we reported a few weeks past, the front of Scotch and Sausage has been converted into S&S Tequileria, preparing some tasty tacos and serving up, of course heady tequila cocktails. The cocktails were of particular interest due to their unusual flavor combinations, and lack of that cloying sweetness that so many margaritas seem to take on. These are instead smooth, creamy and extremely well balanced. To find out more we went to the source, barmen Jesse Powell.

Before working at Scotch and Sausage, and Powell has been with the restaurant from the very beginning, he was working at an Addison sports bar. Prior to working in Dallas he had been in Wichita Falls. We chatted up Powell to find out more of his background and the thought behind some of these delicious drinks he is now serving up at S&S.

Scotch & Sausage Adding a Taqueria to the Mix

by Steven Doyle

Soon you will be able to not only have scotch, sausages and some pretty terrific Scotch eggs at Scotch and Sausage, located on Oak Lawn in Dallas, but you will also have a selection of great tequilas and tacos. The owners of Scotch and Sausage invited some of the craveDFW staff in to sample what will be part of the new addition called S&S Taqueria which has taken over the front of the house at Scotch and Sausage.

The tacos will be made by Scotch and Sausage executive chef Joey Allette, sharing the same kitchen, but ordering is completely separate. Continue reading →

Eat This Burger: Scotch and Sausage

by Steven Doyle

I have always thought Scotch and Sausage was really good. The menu offers 15 varieties of local and house-made sausage sandwiches (including several vegan, pork free and gluten free options) featuring beef, chicken, venison, quail, antelope, rabbit and more, and all sausages are priced $8 and below. They are all-natural, small batch production with no by products.

When Scotch and Sausage first opened they kept very late hours,, weekends until 4am. Since then then have settled for midnight during the week, and 2am on weekends. The restaurant has been wildly successful since opening in July of 2014, but has since had a chef change. Chef Joey Allette took over the kitchen and has since made a few key changes which greatly improved the menu, including adding a burger and vastly improved their Scotch eggs. The original egg had a sweet outer crust, and the new version lacks that cloying quality. He also switched the sausage that wrapped the soft centered egg with a more savory Italian sausage he makes himself. With these small changes he decided to do a brunch menu. Continue reading →

The latest restaurant to open with quick public approval is Scotch and Sausage. With a name like that you best have plenty of both, and they do. Look for 20 hand crafted sausages and over 100 choices for scotch. Add a few extras such as their insanely good triple cooked fries and scotch eggs, and you have a recipe for delicious.

The menu offers over 20 varieties of local and house-made sausage sandwiches (including several vegan, pork free and gluten free options) featuring beef, chicken, venison, quail, antelope and more, and all sausages are priced $8 and below. They are all-natural, small batch production with no by products. The sausages not made in house are produced locally at Kuby’s using the Scotch and Sausage recipes. Continue reading →
