==Sausage==

The main feature of the sandwich is the sausage, which is widely available in grocery and specialty retail stores throughout the [[Chicagoland|Chicago area]]. It is typically marketed as the "Maxwell Street" variety, which is a Chicago-specific variation of ''kielbasa'' distinguished by it being typically more seasoned and made from a combination of both [[beef]] and [[pork]].<ref>Zeldes, Leah A.
