For Better or Bratwurst
by Flak Staff
Graphics by Alison Paddock

Stay cool, see you next summer, summer.

Like a yearbook signed out of season, a team of five Flaksters welcomes in autumn by bidding adieu to one of summer's greatest delicacies. We deconstruct the cased, spice-laden oddity that is bratwurst bit by bite. Bratwurst, we don't understand you, but we celebrate you — reluctantly, sure, but always with salivating glands.

Until next time...
