If you like to cook or eat,
we probably should meet!
According to the 2013 State of the Specialty Food Industry Report, people are buying ~ and I just assume using ~ more Condiments, Dressings and Marinades. Now, this isn’t a sexual revolution….

I was shopping in the store the day before Halloween with my 27 year old son and he tried to tell me that I needed to spend $10 or more on candy for the kids in the neighborhood. Well, first off, I live in a building. No one Trick or Treats in a building. But … Read more

We’re going to also have to talk about: Ideal, possible, and realistic solutions to the problem. (You’ll get all of that, in this blog). First of all, let’s talk about … Read more
It’s hard to believe that Manager Billy and Chef Andy Phillips aka Chef Dizzle of Searsucker Del Mar along with Ed Adams aka ‘dirt’ (pictured second picture down with Chef Marian), and a room full of people were part of  a wonderful night out tonight!
