Last week, when I was working as a hostess at River City Grille (a restaurant who recently got a great review by the times paper), a unique (strange) looking man came in, leaned against my podium and asked to see the menu. After seating him at the bar he proceeded to order his entree and I continued as I was. On the way out, he stopped in front of the podium again and complimented the restaurants "fantastic food". He then gave me his card which read Mr. Recipe with his face on the front side. As I was reading the information stated on the business card he briefly explained what it is he did for a living. He travels the world in search for the hottest spices and makes his own sauce which is known almost world-wide as the spiciest sauce ever. Aaron Isaacson, better known as Mr. Recipe, first began looking for different tastes of vanilla. However, now he focuses on selling his sauce to the most highly respected restaurants throughout. Before he left he told me to share what I've heard with the owner and to look him up on YouTube. As of now, he has an appointment to meet with the manager of River City Grille and last but not least he is featured in this blog, so I hope you guys enjoy reading about Mr.Recipe. Here are some youtube videos that show Mr.Recipe in action:

Great narrative, and you're a great writer. I could literally, imagine the entire sitation. Mr. Recipe is definitly a unique man. Spiciest salsa, now that's incredible. I'm in the process of watching the videos, and I'm just so interested (I guess it's because I'm south-asian, so spicey food is a must!), but other than that even though his videos do not have advertising nor is recorded professionally, he grabs the audiences attention with his knowledge about spices. Obviously, it is not an easy task to create the spiciest salsa. But, his motivation and determination in traveling all over the world to fulfill one task, is an amazing DIY project!
ReplyDeleteThanks! He came in last night and gave us all a sample of his salsa, it was actually the hottest thing i've ever tasted, i was tearing for an hour no joke. But he's a really cool guy and so knowledgeable about what he's passionate about, it's really inspiring.
