Sausage and Peppers Hero
Quick answer
The sausage and peppers hero is Italian sausage with sautéed peppers and onions on a crusty roll — the signature food of Italian-American street feasts.
Vendors grill or griddle sweet and hot sausage and pile it into a long roll with soft peppers and onions.
Larry's take is on the sausage and peppers recipe page.

Kneaded
Larry books a deep-tissue massage to work out the knots — but every time the masseuse works his shoulders, all he can think about is kneading dough and the sausage and peppers waiting at home.
Quick answer
How long do you grill Italian sausage?
Grill fresh Italian sausage 12 to 16 minutes over medium direct heat (about 350–400°F), turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until the centre reads 160°F. On a two-zone fire, cook 10 to 12 minutes on the cool side, then finish 2 to 3 minutes over the flame for colour.
