Conecuh sausage is hickory-smoked pork sausage from Evergreen Alabama, the canonical Alabama smoked sausage on grills, brunch plates and holiday tables.
Conecuh Sausage Company was founded in Evergreen Alabama in 1947 by Henry Sessions and remains the dominant Alabama smoked-sausage producer. The hickory-smoked pork links became the canonical sausage on Birmingham brunch plates, in red beans and rice, on the grill and on the Conecuh-pancake Christmas plate. Big Bad Breakfast on Highway 280 runs the Conecuh sausage gravy and biscuit as a signature; Saw's Soul Kitchen puts Conecuh on the side of the pulled-pork plate.
