Company We Review : Opera hot Sauce

Company Story: 

Mike:  Cuisine Appropriate

Sure… you could put another cuisine’shot sauce on your Mediterranean meal…but it wouldn’t feel right. Right?We couldn’t help but noticeMediterranean Cuisine didn’t have a go-to hot sauce.That’s why we madeOPERA SAUCE Mediterranean Hot Sauce.

Greg:

Jason Cummings, Arkansas- talk about tornadoes- Culinary school. Food Service background. Laid off pandemic

Why the name Opera? Multiple!

1) Opera means a dramatic work. The sauce has dramatic and passionate flavors!

2) It sounds Italian!

3) Everyone can say and remember “opera.”

Jason schooled me. 3 categories of hot sauces;

* Legacy Regional pref- think tabasco

* Quisone Specific -think Sriracha or Cholula

* Off the wall- Random

Mediterranean ingredients

Skoval Units between Srirracha and Tabasco

“It’s a condiment AND a an ingredient- Keep one on the table and one in the kitchen…a pantry powerhouse!”

Company We Review :Adoboloco

Adoboloco Hawaii Hot Sauce named one of the “Best Hot Sauces To Cure Sriracha Fatigue” ~ Huffington Post

Adoboloco has embodied the old style Hawaiian “chili pepper water” and revolutionized it into a modern day fusion hot sauce using only 4-5 ingredients. SIMPLE IS BEST! Our sauces are 100% natural. Perfect for those looking for a fully flavored alternative to the mass market hot sauces or dressings usually containing one or more ingredients you can’t pronounce. Adoboloco hot sauces range from mild to very hot, but never compromise on flavor. Often used as an alternative to salad dressing, sauteing vegetables and on any meal from breakfast to dinner.

My Guest today is known to many through her XM Radio program, “Sunny Side Up”- on Willie’s RoadHouse.

She’s an amazing singer and songwriter with roots firmly planted in country tradition and Americana. Her latest album, Married Alone has garnered huge critical acclaim. 

“Sunny Sweeney, a genre-bending, songwriting spitfire who has spent equal time in the rich musical traditions of Texas and Tennessee, returns with Married Alone, the celebrated singer-songwriter’s fifth studio album and the follow-up to 2017’s critically acclaimed Trophy. Co-produced by beloved Texas musician and larger-than-life personality Paul Cauthen and the Texas Gentlemen’s multi-hyphenate Beau Bedford, Married Alone is Sweeney’s finest work yet, bringing together confessional songwriting, image-rich narratives and no shortage of sonic surprises for a loosely conceptual album about loss and healing…”

Last Episode/ Review: Manny’s Ultimate

Word of the Day:”Michelada”

Sooo- What is that guy at the front of the marching band carrying a staff called…???

About the Michelada: From Serious Eats:

“One of the challenges with a michelada is the number of potential ingredients—hot sauces of a thousand stripes and chile powders galore, citrus juices, tomato, Clamato, and a dizzying array of flavorings, from Worcestershire to soy sauce, fish sauce to bouillon. Combine them in the wrong way, or in unwise ratios, and you’ll end up with something you might dare a friend to drink, not something you’d be willing to pay for…”

“ …The tomato juice, described as a quasi-necessary ingredient in so many write-ups of the drink, appeared in only a small fraction of the recipes I looked at. Quickly, I was able to see that a classic michelada really has only five critical components: beer, fresh lime juice, hot sauce, an umami bomb, and salt. Well, six ingredients, if you include ice. And ice is very much required.”

Momo’s Michelada Mix Review

Company Story: 

Momo’s story started as a rescue mission until it became a michelada mission. KC and Momo had a friend who’s motorcycle had broken down near the Momotombo volcano in Nicaragua. KC flew down to bring the necessary motorcycle parts. Once the motorcycle was fixed, KC wanted to experience the Nicaraguan countryside, culture and some food and beverage. KC ordered a michelada at the first bar he stopped at and was blown away at how amazing and different that it was. It was light, refreshing and truly delicious. KC made it a point to text Momo right then and there telling her that he was going to try to figure out how to create a michelada that resembled the Nicaraguan micheladas. KC then turned the trip into a mission to drink as many micheladas as he could so that he could dissect the flavors. As you will see in the photo slide below, there was a lot of adventures to be had in Nicaragua and in pursuit of the perfect Michelada. Back in Austin, after many hours of mixing and tasting, the ready to drink Momo’s Michelada Mix was born. In every sip you can taste the adventure and authentic Central American spirit (along with the lemon, spices, and peppers) that KC found in Nicaragua.

​

From: Nicaragua

To: Austin with love

How a volcano, a chicken  bus and a leaky boat led to the creation of a one of a kind michelada mix. Meet MOMOs, the michelada mix born in Nicaragua with a lot of blood, sweat and beers!

Word of the Day:”Michelada”

Company We Review : Manny’s Ultimate Bloody and Michelada

Company Story: From the Website;

A Truly Awesome Bloody Mary usually begins with 8 “Simple Ingredients” which can easily be found in almost any Bar Manual. What makes Manny’s “Ultimate” and unique are the proprietary ones Manny’s Ultimate Bloody Mary began life over 20 years ago, before the term “Mixology” was coined. Manny Ferreira, at the time a young up and coming Professional Barman would then realize the importance of how the “art of creating a truly fabulous cocktail” would dictate and shape his destiny. What Manny so boldly did was allow the opinion of his female consumer base and their pallet to influence the way he designed his cocktails. it’s creator so carefully incorporated into it’s design. Manny’s Ultimate Bloody Mary DOES NOT contain nut oils or measurable amounts of seafood related products. It can also be considered very low in sodium and Gluten Free. The specific combination of ingredients Manny’s UBM uses has been designed to create a very distinct flavor profile which includes richness and depth along with a daring amount of spiciness. It’s savory, stimulating, rich and bold to your taste buds.

In the WTF category… Hurc from the Wire
