The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Kentuckys Smokin Grill A Backyard BBQ Tradition Kentucky's Smokin' Grill started in 1973 as a family picnic and barbecue for a 4th of July celebration. Over a period of about 10 years, our cookouts went from family picnic events to a growing hobby that blossomed into a part-time business. Kentucky BBQ in the Good Ol' Days Dave perfecting some barbecue pork During the early years, we tried various available BBQ sauces. Some of them were acceptable as is, some needed a little attention, and some were beyond help. We wanted to find the perfect BBQ sauce. We didn't want one with an overbearing vinegar twang and we didn't want one with a thin consistency (that stuff just slides off into the bottom of the grill when you add a little heat). We DID want a tasty sauce, smooth and pleasant so an individual wouldn't tire of it. Addictive is a good thing in barbecue sauce. Trust us on that! If You Want Something Done Right? Try as we might to find that perfect sauce prepackaged in a jar or bottle, we were unsuccessful. On a brighter note, the search (and a little desperation) finally lead us to our own refrigerator, and our spice cabinet, and on to our stove top. The original recipe, mixed and served on a ?Derby Day' many years ago, is the same recipe that you will find in every jar of our Original Kentucky's Smokin' Grill Concentrate sauce today! The Hard Part: Pinning Down the Magic The toughest job during the final stages of developing the perfect BBQ sauce was to come up with a standard formula for production. ?A touch of this' and ?a bit of that' doesn't translate well into a refined recipe. Until then, we thought eye of newt was only in witches' brew! (Just a little recipe humor for you). No Compromises! Once we perfected our recipe, we didn't want to make changes that would lower the quality of our creation in any way. We made the hard decision that if our production recipe required the addition of vinegar or preservatives to achieve an acceptable shelf life, we would not market our sauce! When had the sauce tested for production, It qualified for extended shelf life right off the top of the stove. Much to our surprise, the sauce needed no modification! So, you see, it was meant to be ? and the Kentucky's Smokin' Grill legend was born and packaged up to share with the world. Now, Go Get Your Own! Today, you can have your very own jar (or case ? or many cases!) of our Kentucky's Smokin' Grill Concentrate barbecue sauce. We offer the Original Kentucky's Smokin' Grill Concentrate, A Spicy version for those who want a little more heat, and our Too Hot For You variety for those whose palate prefers a little pain.
