Do you like beer and sausage? If so, you may already be familiar with Kramarczuk's Sausage Company, the Eastern European deli and restaurant in northeast Minneapolis. The deli is known for its homemade sausages and earlier this year won a James Beard American Classic Award, for being a restaurant "treasured for its quality food, local character, and lasting appeal." As it nears its 60th anniversary the restaurant is holding its 4th annual Kielbasa Festival this Friday and Saturday.

The Morning Show's Jill Riley and Heavy Table's James Norton sat down with Nic and Orest Kramarczuk to talk about the history of the festival, details for this year, and they tried out a couple of this year's sausage and beer offerings.
