Thanks for listening and thanks for supporting our friends and neighbors in the food-service industry!

I am HUGE condiment fan. The only problem with this is that I have so many, it can be difficult to choose which I want for what meal.

Fortunately, some of the latest addtions to my collection have also quickly become my favorites.

After making the big boys of the ketchup world play catch-up with their low-sugar, vegetable-based variety, our Veteran friends at True Made Foods continue to raise the bar with their BBQ and hot sauces. While I love everything they make, (not only thanks to the great flavors but also thanks to the fact that each bottle has tons of veggies in it, making them easier to swallow for picky eaters of all ages), their veggie sriracha and cayenne hot sauce have been appearing on my table more than perhaps any other bottles in my vast arsenal of flavor enhancers. Both have just the right amount of spice and sass to bring out the best in everything from burgers to tofu to- who knows what will be next?

The Spirit & Co. line from Spencer Foods also stands out because, in addition to havng great flavors like BBQ, mustard, ketchup and hot sauce, each of their vegetarian-friendly and gluten-free delights sneaks in a bit of adult beverage that helps the spice and heat go down smooth. For example, the honey nustard has a bit of Irish Whiskey and the steak sauce is dressed up with Cabernet Souvignon. Also, a part of all proceeds goes to Starlight and helps kids dealing with serious health issues.
