I’ve been visiting an online forum based in South Carolina. I’ve never really spent any time in South Carolina – and am fairly ignorant about the state. I know about Hilton Head Island and I’ve spent about 20 minutes in Charleston, (and know that they rank #1 in the country in dirty politics) but that’s been about it. And then I started talking to the locals…
Food is the great equilizer and I started asking a few questions and reading a few entries. I spied one post that was talking about Moore’s Marinade vs Dale’s Seasoning. Having never heard of either, I went online to check them out.
They both sounded good, but Dale’s would only ship full cases – $48.00 plus shipping. That’s a lot of marinade – especially since I don’t know what it tastes like!
Moore’s, on the other hand, offers a 6-pack – 2 bottles each of Original, Teriyaki, and Buffalo Sauce for only $25.27 including shipping. I figured what the hell – I’d be bound to like at least one of them… I ordered online and they arrived within a few days. On the credit card receipt was hand-written: “Timothy warmest thank you.” When was the last time you were thanked in person for a purchase, let alone for a purchase made online? They’ve made me a lifetime customer!
So far… I really like two – and that’s because I’ve only tried two! Victor’s mom was over today so I asked her if she wanted to stay for lunch. I was doing burgers with the Moore’s Original following the recipe on the bottle: 1 lb beef, 1/4 chopped red onion, 1/4 cup Moore’s. Easy enough.
DAYUM! Those burgers were good! Nonna ate the whole thing! (And that’s unusual for Nonna!)
So tonight for dinner, I decided I wanted to try the Buffalo Sauce. I cut up some chicken breasts, breaded them with panko breadcrumbs, and fried away. Then added the Buffalo Sauce as directed. REALLY reminiscent of the Anchor Bar in Buffalo – with just the right amount of heat to allow for LOTS of them to be consumed. It’s another winner.
I think tomorrow night I’ll have to try the Teriyaki. I’m thinkin’ it’s going to be three out of three for winners!
I really do need to take a trek south!
