About Us
Born of Flavor. Made for Family. Banger & Bite.
What first began as an idea at community cookouts and late-night brainstorming, soon became a reality in March 2025 when Banger & Bite came into the world—ready to bring people together at tables, tailgates, and block parties! The founder, Malcolm Means, blended his culinary roots with the soul of regional traditions, imagining a line of unique and tasty sausages. They are handcrafted in Rancho Cordova, CA, using trusted local ingredients and meticulous preparation to ensure each bite tells a story! From the Texas-inspired heat of Papp’s Classic to the Connecticut Crack’s addictively savory profile. Banger & Bite is more than just a sausage-making business. It's culture you can taste. It’s the sound of laughter over a grill, the clink of plates passed between loved ones, and the hush that falls when someone takes their first bite and says, “Yo, what is this?!” It’s the food that brings the love to the party, made with intentional thought and care. The power of flavor to unite people. From spicy kickin’ heat to rich smoky goodness, our selection of sausages are here to take you on a wild ride!
