Chef Julius Russell Endorses Slatherin’ Sauce
Being out on the road, sharing Slatherin’ Sauce with great people as we do at our demos and tastings, we have the privilege of hearing over and over, “I love your sauce.” And when we hear it from professional chefs, our delight is magnified.
So you can imagine how “over the moon” we are about being endorsed by Chef Julius Russell.
Slatherin’ Sauce is featured in Chef Julius’s article, There is a reason they name an entire season after it….GRILLING!
From his website we learned, “Chef Julius serves as owner of A Tale of Two Chefs, Executive Chef for KeHE Distributors and TV Host on the Big Ten Network. He serves as the consulting chef for Red Monkey Foods and Nature Isle Tropical Gourmet. In association with the Chilean Consulate & ProChile, he is a culinary ambassador that enthusiastically promotes the flavors of the country of Chile. Also, he serves as the Culinary Instructor the Common Ground Foundation.”
In his article on Grilling, Chef Julius discussed how he’s used Slatherin’ Sauce, “This sauce works really well with simply my salt and pepper. Once, I hit it with a bit of “Calvados” (apple brandy), and it was INCREDIBLE!!!!”
Here’s what Chef Julius wrote in his endorsement for Slatherin’ Sauce,
“So in thinking about “Slather Brand Slathering Sauces”, many wonderful thoughts come to mind. The ingredients, the taste, the packaging and the brand itself…all of these things make my job easier. I wear multiple hats. I own a private chef company. I host a television show on a national collegiate cable channel and I also serve as the Executive Chef for the largest specialty food distribution company. I work every day to provide great flavor to meals. I have tasted my share of sauces and have continued to make my own for some time. This is why I appreciate “Slather Brand” so much! It’s one of the few sauces that I feel, it works with me. I don’t have to fix it! It truly is a remedy. And it’s not just for boring food. It makes great food taste even better! Adding 2 tablespoons of sauce to 1 tablespoon of olive oil is a great way to help kids enjoy vegetables. Since all of the ingredients are natural, you are simply adding good stuff to things that are good for you. There is no end to how this sauce can be used. I have stopped making my own sauce. I even add some of the mild version to my Sun-dried Tomato Risotto with Fresh Herbs & Truffle Oil. One more added plus, is that the person behind the sauce is just as incredible. After tasting the sauce and two minutes with her, you will feel like she made the sauce specifically for you. Her blend of southern charm and pure passion is a perfect blend. Just like her sauce.”
Chef Julius, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your enthusiasm! We know you’ll keep Slatherin’ It On!
