Campside Chef Spice Blends

The Story behind the blends

This story began about eight years ago while working as a sous chef in a local professional kitchen. My executive chef had bought some beef brisket for the upcoming 4th of July celebration and asked me to come up with a dry rub to put on them. I went to work right away grabbing a bunch of spices off the kitchen shelf and threw them into a mixing bowl. Luckily, I recorded the recipe on a piece of paper because it was a huge hit with our customers.

Fast forward seven years and several compliments from friends and family, my wife & I decided to make a business out of creating premium spice blends. Although we started out with just one blend, we quickly added a mild & hot version of my original blend. Our first blends, mild, medium, and hot went to market in January of 2018. We added the Cajun Reaper blend in May of 2018. A reduced sodium blend with half of the salt of our original mild,

medium blends became available in June of 2018. Our latest blends, Citrus Pepper and Sweet & Smoky will be available in July of 2018.

With six original blends, and more on the way, we feel great about the future of our spice blend company. We focus on high quality, great flavor, and giving our customers the best product in each bottle we produce. My wife Cindy & I give personal attention & have accountability for every detail of the process. We create, blend, bottle, and distribute every bottle we sell. We believe that’s the way it should be.

Best Regards,
Ron
