  "account": "The wagons have returned from South Africa, presenting the conclusive victor in the search for the finest boerewors in the land. After traversing the country, it was clear that the winner was right under the reporter's nose – just a seven-minute drive from the office. The fate of the best boerewors seemed to follow the reporter around, leading to a delicious braai experience.\n\nJoey's boerewors emerged victorious, with its soft casing and succulent coriander-spiced meat nestled inside. Prepared low and slow, the boerewors showcased its fine casing, allowing for a gentle sizzle while cooking.\n\nThe reporter tried multiple styles of Joey's boerewors – regular, curry, and peach – and found all of them utterly delicious. He ended up purchasing three different varieties, with the certainty of buying them all again.\n\nJoey's is a family-owned business based in Brackenfell, Cape Town, operated by the Liebenberg family. The company prides itself on its premium quality and strict production standards, using only a single premium cut of brisket from free-range, grass-fed cattle sourced from Namibia and Botswana. The boerewors does not contain trimmings, hearts, mechanically deboned meat, hormones, or antibiotics. It is made using Omega-3-rich beef fat and pork back fat, ground with a unique spice and sauce blend, and stuffed into natural sheep casings.",
