Tips for a successful King of the Koubassa

1) Arrive early and get a table near the koubassa.

2) Go with friends (or make friends) to plan a sausage strategy for your table.

3) Assign each person two numbers (say, sausages 1 & 2) -- get enough of these sausages to share with everyone in your group.

4) Don't forget to assign someone to get napkins and pickles for everyone.

5) Score each sausage as you go along, picking two or three favourites.

6) Retaste your top favourites to narrow it down to one. Yes, it's difficult, but sausage supremacy depends on your diligence and perseverance.

7) Remember the sausage you loved the most. Even if it doesn't win the contest, it'll be a winner in your house every time you serve it!
