Our Story
A Seattle Sausage
A Seattle Sausage
That Moved To New Mexico
Owner James Wilkinson left Seattle for Albuquerque in 2008 to work for a tech company. When the severance came in 2018, he went looking for the one thing he couldn't find here: a proper hotlink. Big Boss followed.
“Mine are actually spicy sausages, and that's what I put on the menu as well. I actually get them imported from Seattle.”
James Wilkinson to the Rio Rancho Observer, July 2024
The recipe
The Original Oberto Hot Link
James signed with Oberto for the original hot link. Oberto later stopped making it for retail and honored his contract anyway. In his words:
“We are the only company currently allowed to get this product.”
A Pacific Northwest tradition, served in New Mexico, with red, green or Christmas chile on everything. It runs from breakfast through dinner.

“First bite into the soft but sturdy hoagie roll, and you get an amazing combination of tender and seasoned beef.”
