About the Vendor:
FOUR GENERATIONS WITH A PASSION FOR FLAVOR
Founder Harold Hanni was born during the midst of the Great Depression in 1931. To stretch their resources during those times, the Hanni family relied on old world cheese and sausage making skills passed down from Harold's father. When Harold returned from serving in the Korean War, he had a renewed interest in the art of sausage making, which he passed down to his five sons.
Harold’s passion for the craft inspired him to build a homemade smoker from an old chest freezer. On a cold Wisconsin day in 1976, Harold’s homemade chest freezer smoker caught fire and nearly burned the house down. This near disaster inspired Harold to design a safe way for the home sausage maker to smoke sausage. Harold’s pursuit of a safe smoker became a reality with the Model 100, thus forming Pro Smoker 'N Roaster.Harold's son Ken and his wife Kate formalized the family’s love of sausage making in 1986 by officially incorporating PS Seasoning. Harold was the model for the company’s trademarked mascot. The cartoon icon of Lil' Harry became synonymous with old world flavor and craftsmanship.

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.
Condimentally Yours,

About the Vendor:
Livia, the creator behind Livia’s Seasoning Salt, developed her eponymous blend in her home kitchen in 1938. She gave batches of her famous salt to all who visited and whom she loved.
Who is Livia?
Born in1903, Livia Youngdahl was a lively woman. She managed to raise her younger siblings as well as attend college in Minnesota. She was an avid follower of politics, a weaver, an organist, a cook, and a piano teacher. She married a young professor, and the couple had 3 children and lived in Missouri for 50 years.
But, Livia was especially good at entertaining. Renowned as an excellent cook, Livia’s secret ingredient was a special blend of three essential spices: Kosher salt, coarse-ground black pepper, and just enough garlic to give food a kick without overwhelming its original flavor.
Livia’s generations-old secret recipe was shared with the world in 1997, and we’ve been keeping her memory and recipe alive since her passing.

About the Vendor:
We’re bringing Epic Flavor to your meals!
Food has an uncanny ability to connect people, evoke memories, and create lasting bonds. In my family, there’s one recipe that stands out as the epitome of togetherness and joy: My Dad’s recipe for BBQ sauce. Over the past 50 years, this mouthwatering dish has not only tantalized our taste buds but has also brought our family closer together. Let me tell you how it all started.
When I was a very small girl, my Dad began to make his own barbecue sauce (now known as Sticky Sweet) because he really disliked what he found at the store; a sauce was full of liquid smoke. What he made was simple barbecue sauce and it was delicious!
I grew up not knowing it was different. The love for that sticky gooey sauce for ribs and chicken grew as we shared our love for cooking with friends and beyond. I took the sauce in jars from home to college and cooked for my roommates. They were hooked.
One day my parents announced they were moving. I panicked, yes I would miss them, but what about the sauce? I had to get the recipe. His response was, “What recipe?” So we began a funny journey to get him to use actual measuring cups and I created a recipe.
Then my friends threw down a challenge and said the words I will never forget, “Jen don’t get old and wonder what if you ever did something with that recipe for barbecue sauce”.
I started the company a month later with one recipe and added a spicer version (Sweet & Spicy) and went to market. I knew a retailer, Ron, that might give me a solid opinion about the product. So I took samples to him. A few weeks later (the middle of December), I received a voicemail from Ron. He said, “I never call prospective vendors in the middle of December, but we all loved your product, can you have it ready for an event in our store January 20th?” I said yes and then figured out a way to make it. A few years ago, I jokingly told him it was all his fault I started down this road.
One thing that has always been important to me is that the product itself is not bad for you. So I started out using real food and as a company, we still use real food. Our products have always been Vegan, back before anyone but vegans knew what that was. We changed to a gluten-free recipe about 15 years ago and now test and certify our products as gluten-free. We’ve always known that it’s very important to us to use fresh, real, clean ingredients. We all deserve to eat proper food.
With all these delicious ingredients we bring amazing flavors to all our sauces, spice rubs, and dip & spread mixes.
Why is it important to eat real food?
Yes, it is very important we keep it simple, with no additives and nothing but recognizable ingredients. Why is that a big deal to have real food in our sauces and spices? Because we care about what we feed our bodies.
Well, do you know what silicone dioxide is? It’s sand. Do you want an anti-caking ingredient like that in your food? Didn’t you eat enough dirt and sand as a toddler?
How about Xanthan Gum, do you know what it is? It’s derived from the mold that grows on corn. When the sugar from corn starts to ferment, you get a gooey substance that some manufacturers add to food. Yummy. Seriously companies use it to stretch ingredients to make products cheaply. They do this instead of using real food.
Eat Well, Live Better.

Our Company
Sauce Goddess is a woman-owned business and community member. We are still not a huge company. We still answer the phone ourselves, mostly.

We donate to Rotary, Ovarian Cancer Research and other causes that resonate with our lives.
Everyone who cooks with our products contributes to the Sauce Goddess story.
Keep on cooking and creating with our sauces and spices because you know “if you don’t lick your fingers, someone else will!”.

About the Vendor: Camerons Products is the leader in Smoke Cooking Technology and the creator of great innovative grilling products to show both the home and professional chef the easiest way to infuse a smoked or grilled flavor into all foods. We have developed and found products to do this outdoors on the grill or camping, indoors on the stovetop, or on a basic campfire.
For over 25 years, Camerons Products has been all about good cooking, and is pleased to introduce brand new products to showcase this lifestyle of easy living.
CAMERONS MISSION
Camerons Products mission is to provide the best possible service and value for all of their customers, in a knowledgeable and efficient way. We are intent on becoming one of the premier suppliers in the industries of our choice. By utilizing decades of experience with smoke cooking infusion, we provide uniquely designed products for the optimum total result, which surprise even the most experienced cooks. Camerons has been extremely careful in selecting the actual size of wood chips that should be used for the different smokers and smoke boxes in order to create the best flavor infusion possible with the least amount of smoke escaping when the smoker is opened upon completion. Wood chunks and pellets in the different flavors are available for use in all outdoor BBQs and Smokers.
FLAVOR INFUSION
Flavor infusion using a Camerons Smoker is healthy - no extra fat, oil or salt needs to be used, and you are in control of how much and what flavor of wood, herbs and spice should be added. For stovetop smoking indoors (hot smoking) the wood chips have been ground very small so that they start to smolder within one minute of being placed on a preheated stovetop set at a medium temperature. Two rounded tablespoons is the maximum that should be used for the strongest flavor and they should turn to ashes in twenty minutes. The flavor infusion will go on until the cooking time is complete, with the food steaming in its own juices. Upon opening the smoker, take care as hot steam will escape, but the wood flavor will have been absorbed, so there will be no smoke emitted.
Mesquite wood flavor can turn bitter if too many wood chips are used, tone them down with a little Apple or Cherry. In the last few years, Camerons Products has expanded their product range to offer not only a wide variety of unique items bringing excitement into the kitchen, but safety products and ways to keep prepared food hot or cold.
EXPERTS IN INDOOR & OUTDOOR SMOKERS
For cold smoking/curing with the outdoor electric smoker the wood chips are a slightly larger – these need to be soaked in water for 20 minutes before being placed in the small pan over the electric element. This provides the steam needed to keep the food product moist, and allows the smoke to be more intense, also lasting for a longer time. This flavor infusion method can last for several hours to get the best taste, so the wood chip pan may have to be filled 3 or 4 times during the curing process. Food smoking needs a very delicate touch, as it should subtle with the right wood flavor infused to bring out the best taste for that particular type of food. If it is too strong, it will become bitter or taste burned.
PRODUCTS FOR EVERY TASTE
