About the Vendor:
Char Crust was born from a legendary Chicago steakhouse and built around a simple idea: a great crust makes better meat. Their seasonings are crafted to create a flavorful exterior while helping proteins stay juicy—making it easier for home cooks to hit steakhouse-level results on the grill, in cast iron, or on the smoker.
Since 1957
It all started in 1957 at the popular Chicago steakhouse – Al Farber’s. The house specialty was tender thick prime steaks and roasts with seared crusts, bursting with juicy flavor.
The secret? House made rubs that added delicious flavor while creating a seared crust that Seals in the Juices® every single time.
When the restaurant closed, chefs and consumers alike were clamoring for the seasoning and the Char Crust brand was born.
Today
Char Crust® dry-rub seasonings continue to wow both home cooks and chefs with 11 chef-created flavors, all made in small batches with only the best herbs and spices.
Char Crust elevates the taste of all meats, fish, and even veggies.

About the Vendor:
The heart of Terrapin Ridge Farms comes from my love of entertaining. I grew up in a family that loved to host parties – our annual Holiday Open House was legendary. My friends loved to hang out at our house and everybody was extra excited when it was Aunt Rosie’s (my mom’s) turn to host the holiday party. She made it look so easy. Her secret was a laid back style and effortless, great-tasting food. The spread looked and tasted like she fussed for days.
I discovered early on I inherited this love of entertaining and ultimately this love is what has drawn me into the world of specialty food. After 10 years in the specialty food industry, I ventured out to buy a small specialty food brand with budding potential. I reached out to a friend of 22 years, and fellow Cleveland native, Brian Coughlin, in July of 2010 and together we purchased the Terrapin Ridge Farms brand. Our brand has grown from a handful of items to over 84 great selling products including savory jams, garnishing aioli squeezes, mustards, dips, dressings, sauces, and now grill and wing sauces. We have developed a reputation as a truly original, high quality food creator. Our team is made up of passionate foodies with the goal to deliver on creating a memorable and positive experience that can be shared with loved ones, turning simple into unforgettable.
