Uncle Louie's Sausage Company located in Kahului on Alamaha Street, has been selling Portuguese sausage by the tons since 1991. The product is very delicious, if New Yorkers love their Italian sausage, we on Maui got our Portuguese sausage that we love to heat up on the fry pan, blacken it a tad, and eat it with white sticky rice, and maybe crack a couple of eggs while we're at it. A sausage not just for breakfast, find many a local with Uncle Louie's grilling it at the beach on a sunny weekend, or chopping it up into tiny pieces, and cooking it with beans, and using it as a filling for burritos or tacos, the creativity is vast when one puts his mind to it, Uncle Louie's have been used by some very respectable chefs, it is a product worth utilizing.
"I use it at home a lot, it can go into soups, salads, you name it," says a chef, on condition of anonymity. "My kids love it for breakfast, me and my wife pick up a lot for parties in the back yard."

I personally love this product, I would suggest if you are a first timer to Maui, to purchase some of these, comes in mild and hot, MSG is not used in the product, a pretty good selling point if MSG is a an ingredient you wish not to consume.
Maui and Uncle Louie's go hand in hand, visitors are slowly learning what we locals dig, and we like it simple but delicious. Most people who buy Uncle Louie's will really get creative, it's not hard to imagine, a mother with no time to cook, will chop up cabbage, heat it up with Uncle Louie's and there she has a meal for the family, and believe you me, it is really good when you eat it with some hot and soft sticky white rice, it's the best. Many local kids who go off to college will try and see if the city they are in sells anything local from Maui, especially Uncle Louie's. You can spot a local family easily at the airport, they're the ones with the coolers, and getting the coolers inspected, with loads of chilled sausage with ice packs ready for a trip to another island or to the mainland for family and friends. Crack a can of tomato sauce, chop up some Uncle Louie's, toss it in with the tomato sauce, cook it and then pour it over noodles or rice.
"I put some cooked Uncle Louie's in my Pho," says Kari. "When Up Country is cold, I'll cook some Pho, with lots of greens and then garnish it with Uncle Louie's, it's the best, so versatile a product."
Yes my first timers to Maui, get your Uncle Louie's at most supermarket chains here on the island.
