A Flavorful Tribute to the Ones Who Fed Us Well
Some dads build things with their hands. Mine built memories—with a skillet in one hand and a story in the other.
My dad loved to cook. He wasn’t just a man of recipes—he was a man of flavor, creativity, and heart. He was the one who taught me how to season a cast iron skillet just right, how to pickle peppers with patience, and how to always sneak a taste for “quality control.” He would’ve absolutely loved what the Foodie Tasting Room has become—a place where stories live on through the ingredients we cook with, and every jar or bottle comes with a tale worth telling.
He would have thrived here—tasting every oil, trying every vinegar, asking questions, and sharing his own. And I know without a doubt he would’ve had his own little stool behind the counter, chatting with customers about what makes our Bourbon Balsamic a perfect marinade or how our Garlic Herb Olive Oil turns any steak into magic. He’d be proud to see how the recipes from an old family box became handcrafted staples on our shelves—recipes that once lived on paper now living in bottles, jars, and memories.
