Fieldgrade, Pete, the fellow who made the Chorizo at Lemiere's (sp?) in Battle Mountain moved to Carson City, and has a breakfast and lunch restaurant called the "Basque Deli". He brought his chorizo recipe with him, and has a meat counter in the restaurant.
We used to drive to Battle Mountain and fill up an ice chest to bring home. Now he's down the street.
You are correct, though, best chorizo ever.
I knew he moved to Carson but I heard recently that he was out of it and relatives were now running the show....don't know if it's true or not though as I retired to ID twelve years ago......if true I hope they haven't "modernized" anything....
I know what you mean about filling the cooler with orders for friends....I usually bought about 10 pounds on my way to Elko and another 50 on my return home......
Sure miss that Chirizo.....good memories though....
