The type of foods include pizzas, crab cakes, and low-calorie cheesecakes. Wings, sauces, breaded chicken, and catfish are coming soon. Robert Irvine Foods is available in Mid-Atlantic Giant grocery stores. (Press release about the company and partnership with Giant).
Pork and Mindy's crashed my browser. I only had the chance to check out the sweet sauce. It has anchovies in it. Not for me.
ReplyDeleteThat name is enough for me not to try them much less the anchovies. I'll stick with Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Chipotle and my secret recipe homemade BBQ sauces.
ReplyDelete"It all started with an epiphany. Pork & Mindy’s CEO and
ReplyDeletefounder, Kevin Corsello, was on a long drive home when he realized what
was missing from today’s scene."
He should have went to the grocery store first, the one I go to has plenty of BBQ sauce choices. One has at least three-quarters of an aisle top shelf to bottom of them.
" “We needed something better,” the award-winning amateur chef noted.
“Something that would bring together food, music and art to help build
and strengthen communities.” "
They sure are expecting a lot from a $5.99 bottle of BBQ sauce.
I guess Jeff's sauces will end up in Big Lots just like all of Guy's products.
ReplyDeleteRobert's stuff is "restaurant quality"? Yeah, I've seen some of the restaurants he has been to... ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, I was just curious about the sauce. I wouldn't eat any of it; I'm a vegan.
ReplyDeleteAnd Larry The Cable Guy's.
ReplyDeleteMy impression of "restaurant quality" isn't the greatest, not after seeing the places he visits on his show.
ReplyDeleteJust imagine what the cost of all this 'restaurant quality' frozen food is going to be.
ReplyDeleteOn Food Network Star tonight, interesting to see that Giada's boobs got the night off, and her abdomen substituted in their place.
ReplyDeleteThere's still time for another outfit, so we will see...
ReplyDeleteYou are 100% right, they did show up. Silly me.
ReplyDeleteRue is going home and not Dom? That is total BS.
ReplyDeleteSorry Robert but I don't believe that you can make health food.
ReplyDeleteThis just encourages me to make my own BBQ sauce (or buy some local BBQ sauce). I maybe pescetarian but seeing anchovies in BBQ sauce skeeves me out.
ReplyDeleteand Duck Dynasty
ReplyDeleteIrvine's food descriptions are all weasel words..."all natural", "better for you" have no legal definition. He can call the crap in the Sysco bag "better for you" or "restaurant quality" and no one can sue him for lying.
ReplyDeleteOMG, sauces ending up at Big Lots? Hilarious!!! Now that's just good comedy.
ReplyDeleteworcestershire sauce is basically fermented and decomposed anchovies, that is in plenty of sauces.
