| OMG-they almost look in pain...as in the Pain is Good - from Original Juan- on right-from Kansas-Jack Stack pictured Bloody Mary mixes-logical brand extensions |
NEW: The HOTTEST TRENDS: FANCY FOOD Show 2015 JAVITS Convention Center, NYC
Summertime-and the grillin' is friggin' HOT!!!!!
Judging by the aisles laden with liquid fire-at the recent Fancy Food Tradeshow...there are plenty of made in the USA options to rev up American BBQs.
Bonus: the bottle selections are largely made by small companies...many still family own/run...and imo inexpensive way to add bold to REALLY BOLD wallops to any eats.
WHAT: Expect mild to extreme flavors-spice loaded, exotic peppers and/or booze inflected -both native and from far flung lands =coming to even more shelves near you.
NOTE: Clean ingredients-we don't recall seeing any products in this group with chemically sounding anything on the labels.
PLUS-with whimsical packaging and tempting/daring users' machismo- beckoning the brave to taste à la cinnamon challenge.
