As we continue our coverage of northern Kentucky, You can't leave out the culinary stapled called GETA.

According to Dan Wilentz, research on the history of Geta the German inspired sausage was likely sold first at build thinking sons, Quality Meats and Coddington way back in 1876.

The store has been passed down through the generations and is still open today.

Now in Fort Wright or Geta is still going strong.

We've got the best gator in northern Kentucky and Cincinnati area.

I'm their sixth generation and my great, great, great grandfather started in 1876 down in Covington on Main Street and how we've been doing for a while.

I mean, it's got to be good.

If now we wouldn't be here.

I think his diet is lean pork, beef pan and oatmeal and seasoning and it's all different stuff in that.

I mean, we got on some secrets and some lard, but that's the key, is making it lean.

We don't put it like all the other getting sold around here.

They put pig guards, pig skins and snoot in and they I mean, we used to do that back in the 1800s because that's why that's why they started making the stuff.

Because back in the 1800s, they had me stores on every corner and they cut up, you know, cows and pigs and they got all this leftover stuff.

They said, What are we going to do with it?

We're going are throw it away.

And that's how God came and came and came in.

But, you know, when when my dad took this store in 62, he changed it.

He didn't use all that, you know, crazy pig hearts, pigskin, snakes.

He says, let's make it leaner and better and it won't be all greasy.

And that's why we changed it.

My dad is all about quality.

He's, you know, he he always says you treat you treat your customers good.

So good stuff.

You will stay in business.

I got to mix and I'm oats.

I do get overeasy eggs and some good toast.

I'm all right.

Homemade.

Homemade bread.

I know people put hot sauce catch up, but I don't.

I'm a medical sales guy.

That's so good.

But you got to buy the good maple sirup.

Not.

Not bottle stuff gets a homemade maple sirup.

It's very good.

I mean, I've been even getting it since I was a baby.

And my kid's a girl since I was a baby.

Just like anybody.

Whatever you grow up with you, you know.

But.

But I know people that lived in California, they love that it now they moved here, They tried it, and they loved my dad.

I mean, we sell 24 times, so I get it for this store.

I got £48,000 and we would sell more when we close on Mondays now and we don't get on Mondays.

And that's why I'm stuck on 24 times.

I'm trying to do 25 this year when we were sick.

I remember when I started working here, I didn't get paid nothing.

You know, it's it's a family thing, but now it's our business.

Grown and grown and grown and I just know if you sell good stuff, they will keep coming back.

And he always says if you sell something bad and you sell once because they won't come back and you got to sell good stuff.

I'm sure that's the key there.

Thank you.

Family tradition continues as Billy's sons Cole and Owen, along with his nephew, Stephen.

Thank you.

All work alongside their dads at the shop.
