SPICY SECRET SAUCE


You have one the the hottest "new" ingredients out right now.
Metro Deli Spicy Secret Sauce
I use the word new with some reservation. 
Gochujang has been around since the late 18th century.



Chef's are just starting to play with this in so many new ways.

- Use it as is for a quick marinade for beef, pork, chicken or turkey.

- Create an amazing Sauce for seafood:
                   2 c. Monarch Mayo 
                       1 T Rykoff Sexton Meyer Lemon Juice
                       1/2 c Metro Deli Spicy Secret Sauce
                       Sea Salt to taste
                          Mix all ingredients together. Refrigerate.

- Make Braised Shortribs. Add 2 c Secret Spicy Sauce to the braising liquid.

- Add to Fish Tacos for a kick.

- Fold into your Meatloaf for extra flavor and juiciness.

- Create a Bahn Mi Burger.

THE PATIO IS WIDE OPEN



Creating new dishes that customers keep coming back for requires a few things.

- Cool ingredients - (That is where SCOOP comes in)
- Able to take a risk - (Opening a restaurant says it all)
- Marketing that catches the eye -(US Foods has it all)
- Staff that is excited or given incentive to SELL!! 




The weather for the weekend is getting warmer almost everywhere in the country. 
A balmy 45 in the Northeast. 
So, we can look forward to some patio planning activity. 
What will be some of the new hits?
