In a quaint corner of the Southern Appalachians, where the smoke from grills curled up into the sky like prayers, there was a blend that was whispered about in tones of reverence and excitement. It was said that this proprietary blend had the power to elevate the humblest of dishes into a feast worthy of the gods.
One summer in Asheville, as the air filled with the anticipation of the grilling season, a local grill master decided to put the legend of the Everyman Spice to the test. With a beautiful ribeye steak at hand, he seasoned it generously with the blend and placed it on the grill. The result was a ribeye that was not just cooked, but transformed, its flavors intensified and brought to a whole new level.
But the magic of the Everyman Spice didn't stop at steak.
Burgers became juicier and more flavorful, grilled corn on the cob was a revelation, and even the simplest of dishes, like raw tomatoes, thick-cut bacon, and scrambled eggs, were elevated into culinary delights. The Everyman Spice became a symbol of culinary adventure and the joy of grilling, a testament to the idea that every meal could be a masterpiece with the right spice blend.
Our Asheville Spices bring the magic!
In the heart of the Southern Appalachians, where the rivers run clear and the mountains reach for the skies, there was a legendary blend known as River Spice.
Crafted with the soul of the mountains and the zest of Cajun tradition, it was said to elevate the essence of cooking. This blend, a harmonious fusion of local herbs and the perfect heat, became the secret ingredient of the region, whispered about in kitchens and campfires alike.
River Spice doesn't just bring heat; it awakens every nuance of seafood.
Inspired by River Spice's outside-the-box flavor, locals began to venture into uncharted culinary territories, where roasted potatoes took on a new identity, grilled watermelon was the talk of the summer, and spiced mayonnaise transformed ordinary meals into extraordinary experiences.
River Spice is a testament to the magic that happens when tradition meets innovation. Try our Asheville Spices to take your fish and seafood dishes to the next level and beyond.
