SoBar –  The SOBAR was born out of necessity. Dr. Joseph Fisher, MD, PhD, founder of Zeno Functional Foods, attended a wedding party and was plied with champagne before any food was served; the resulting unplanned state of inebriation was unfortunate. After the party he had an incredible thought…. “What if there was a food I could have eaten beforehand that could have helped control the onslaught of alcohol I was going to receive?”

Dr. Fisher already knew that all foods could reduce alcohol absorption, at least to some extent, and wondered if that rule of thumb could be improved upon. With this in mind, he set out the ambitious goal of creating the world’s first food optimized to reduce alcohol absorption, the result of this research being the SOBAR. This drug-free protein bar, consisting of wholesome and safe food ingredients, can reduce alcohol absorption by over 50% compared to consuming the same drink on an empty stomach. This delicious and convenient food works through a simple principle; alcohol is more slowly absorbed from the stomach than it is from the small intestine and enzymes in the stomach can inactivate it there. Dr. Fisher discovered a patent-pending combination of ingredients which he termed Alco-HOLD, which delays alcohol release from the stomach and can significantly slow and diminish its absorption. Eating a SOBAR prior to drinking is a great way to drink more responsibly and enjoy alcohol more . SOBAR’s are amazing, you will have to try them out!

Wonder Drink – Wonder Drink Kombucha founder Steve Lee was already a humble student of tea – having co-founded both Stash Tea and Tazo – when on a trip to Russia in the 1990s he stumbled upon a batch of kombucha brewing in the home of an elderly woman. Intrigued, Steve returned home with a starter from the woman’s kombucha culture, embarking upon a journey he remains on today.

Steve launched Wonder Drink Kombucha , offering healthy and great tasting kombucha, ensuring all but a trace of alcohol (not exceeding 0.5% by volume) and all unwanted bacteria are eliminated. Today, Wonder Drink Kombucha brews fermented tea for all who want to experience its wonder. #ShareTheWonder

Lusty Monk Mustard

Here’s the story from Kelly Davis, founder:

It was kind of an accident.

I love old cookbooks. I also love to play in the kitchen. One day, while diving into an old Victorian cookbook, I saw an old mustard recipe and thought, “well there’s an idea,” and started playing with it. I changed it round a bit. Tweaked it. Then I started handing it out as presents, taking it to potlucks. Around the same time, I had a part-time job slinging beer down at one of Asheville’s fine taprooms, Green Man Brewery (also known as Dirty Jack’s). The only thing we had to snack on there was pretzels. So I started handing out the mustard with the pretzels, and it caught on. The crazy, wonderful Dirty Jack’s bar patrons were my cheerleaders, my taste-testers, my first customers.

My boisterous family — who live almost everywhere — got on board, and backed the enterprise (shout out to Brother Scott) and in 2007 Lusty Monk was officially launched in Asheville. The Albuquerque branch of the family (Krissy! Steve!) started making mustard in New Mexico for a while, and racked up tons of Scovie awards at the Fiery Food Festival.

So now, more than a decade later, here we are. I’d like to raise a glass to my family, friends, and every pretzel-dipping beer drinker out there who has helped us along the way. The chefs who put it on their menus, the stores who put it on their shelves, the gift-givers who put it on their holiday list.

This experimentation, refined through years of dedication and a keen perception of flavor, resulted in the unique, handcrafted perfection sold by our company today.

Whether you prefer our traditional Sea Salt Toffee or would like to experience something new and bold, such as our Bourbon Toffee, Coffee Toffee, Southern Heat Toffee (dark chocolate peanut toffee made with siracha), Ghost of Amelia (dark chocolate almond toffee made with grand marnier and lightly dusted with ghost pepper salt) or one of our various seasonal toffees, you will be delighted with the mouthwatering and decadent toffees of the Amelia Toffee Company.

Add in savory spices and a little heat and you have The Original Hall’s Snappy Beer Cheese recipe developed in Central Kentucky more than half a century ago.

Kentucky has a unique culinary heritage of innovation that has produced some of the world’s most beloved flavors: Kentucky Fried Chicken, bourbon, and beer cheese. Legend has it that this unique snack was developed by Joe Allman for his cousin Johnny Allman to introduce in his various restaurants on the Kentucky River. Johnny allegedly lost one restaurant, along with his recipes, to Carl Johnson in a card game in the early 1960s. After Mr. Johnson passed away, George and Gertrude Hall acquired the restaurant and its recipes in 1965. Since that time, Hall’s On the River has been a mainstay in the Central Kentucky dining scene. Hall’s Original Snappy Beer Cheese was an integral part of that success, extending the love of the brand nationally and internationally.

Cookies Con Amore – Cookies con Amore believes that great Italian cookies are a result of fresh, quality ingredients, a commitment and passion for excellence, love, and a desire to create a memorable taste experience that will leave you wanting more.

Fernanda and Angelo Capraro were childhood friends from the village of Sant Elia in the south of Italy to grandmothers who baked for love and honor. Cookies were a mainstay in their homes, always on hand to be enjoyed over conversation and coffee or wine with family and friends. Their cookies were so delicious that when a young man in the village popped “the question” to his beloved, the next question was what would Nonna bake for the wedding.

Fernanda and Angelo took their love for cookies to California in the 1970s, where they started a family of their own and opened a series of Italian delis and the much loved Villa Romana restaurant in Laguna Beach.

During each holiday season, the Capraros followed in family tradition and baked batch upon batch of homemade Italian cookies for friends, family and favorite customers using recipes handed down for generations. They have been known to bring suitcases full of cookies to family weddings by popular request.

In 2005, Cookies Con Amore was born when Fernanda and Angelo decided to devote themselves to what they love best: cookies. “Who can resist cookie?” asks Fernanda, who is the lead baker. Angelo is known for his meticulousness and serves as quality assurance and taste tester. If Angelo likes the cookie, everybody will like it!

Cookies Con Amore is a true labor of love. We believe that you have to put your heart into your food and we don’t hold back in any way. We’re Italian, after all.
