SEASON FOR LOVE
The Dish
You know what’s funny? That we rave when a chef restrains him or herself and serves up a dish based on the simplicity of five or six unadulterated ingredients … yet we go home and chop and dice and combine and over-season and over-complicate most meals. Maybe we do this because we want to convince ourselves that we can really cook. Or maybe it’s because we haven’t found the right seasoning, one that lets you sit back and relax, knowing that everything’s gonna taste alright, thanks to a little mix of salt, pepper, garlic, and a few secrets.
We found such a seasoning in Slavo Salt – a locally made product that we’ve been adding to steaks, Bloody Mary’s, tacos, pasta dishes, and even steamed vegetables for a crazy, unexpected kick. Slavo comes from Michael Stephens, a young guy caught in corporate America who batches seasoning as a hobby and true homespun passion. He dropped off a bottle and reserved a vendor booth at the BBQ Festival, but we hadn’t really had the time to experiment with his stuff. Now we have and are wholeheartedly tellin’ ya – it rocks.
Slavo’s $10. You can pick up a bottle here: www.slavosalt.com
