Hitting the road for July’s tour which takes me from Tennessee to the Midwest. I am having the time of my life with this One Man Band thing. It’s a HIGH ENERGY GUMBO SHOW. Check out the schedule

STIR THE GUMBO!!!!!!!!!!
It’s official. the Gumbo Stirring Contest is on.  And the baddest gumbo stirrin performance will net cool Sauce Boss schwag! So come on down and stir the gumbo.

 

From the very heights of the Peckerwood Swamps comes my recipe of the year…Liquid Summer Salad Dressing!

Really easy to make ,and it’s sooo tasty. Liquid Summer Hot Sauce  makes anything taste good. Here it is:
Take a bottle of ketchup and use three or four ounces (or more)
Refill the bottle with Liquid Summer Hot Sauce, and shake it up
Drizzle over the salad, and do a very fine drizzle of honey also. (not too much)
That’s it!

F.A.R.M.  CAFE
617 WEST KING ST. BOONE, NC  828-386-1000 http://farmcafe.org
I was walking down King Street in Boone, North Carolina, and this busker dude with a long beard and and a mellow attitude says to me, ” This restaurant has some great food!”. He just volunteered that info. So I gave it a try. It turned out being more than just lunch. It was an “experience”.  The whole vibe of the place is sharing and nurturing. An incredible departure from the fast food chain gang. Everyone in the place exuded a “This is where I want to be” attitude. The sign says it all. “Feed All Regardless of Means”. The F.A.R.M Cafe  strives to be an all inclusive cafe serving people from all walks of life with dignity. With a 90% volunteer staff, anyone can work an hour on exchange for a meal. In addition to the volunteers, they have ” pay-it-forward” patrons who pay more than the suggested donation for their meal, which helps cover the cost of those who can not pay at all. These guys prepare some outrageously good meals with really fresh local ingredients.  Prepared with love. Real. Good. Food.

See y’all down the road.
