16 NATURALLY HEALTHY www.gourmetnews.com FORD'S IS TALKIN' SERIOUS: 20 YEARS OF BONE SUCKIN' SAUCE In 1987, Phil Ford made the first batch of Bone Suckin' Sauce while he was trying to recreate his mother's recipe. The sauce grew to be a hit with family and friends, so much that everyone told him he should bottle it and sell it. Phil's brother Lynn Ford and his sister-in-law, Sandi Ford, partnered up with him and helped him brand and sell his sauce. Sandi Ford coined the name "Bone Suckin' Sauce" and the sauce was official in October 1992. Lynn and Sandi already owned two specialty food stores, a warehouse store and a large mail order catalog business in Raleigh, N.C., and had experience in the gourmet food industry. Bone Suckin' Sauce is a Western North Carolina tomato-based sauce sweetened with honey and molasses, with spices and an irresistible flavor that is all-natural, no preservatives, gluten-free, certified kosher and pareve. This year Ford's Gourmet Foods is excited to be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Bone Suckin' Sauce. "We can now say that some of our younger customers really have grown up on our products," said Sandi Ford, President of Ford's Gourmet Foods, "We're proud of our product lines and really enjoy the challenges of developing new items and improving older ones." A new label for Bone Suckin' Sauce – showing that it is non-GMO – is due out this fall. The Bone Suckin' products are gluten-free, all-natural, kosher, no HFCS, no canola oil, no added MSG and are currently sold in more than 60 countries. The Bone Suckin' line also includes seasonings and rubs in Original, Hot, Poultry and the new Steak and Seafood. The steak seasoning is the perfect combination of seasonings and spices. It's all you need to bring out the great flavor in your favorite steak. Turn your home into a steak house tonight! Bone Suckin' Seafood Seasoning is born on the North Carolina coast and it's all you need to add great flavor to your favorite seafood. All of the Bone Suckin' seasonings and rubs are non-irradiated. In addition to the Bone Suckin' Sauce and Seasonings, the Bone Suckin' line has mus- n SEPTEMBER 2013 n GOURMET NEWS tards, salsas, yaki, habanero sauce, beef jerky and the Slop Mop. Of those, the best-selling Bone Suckin' yaki is now kosher certified and gluten-free like the rest of the Bone Suckin' line. The yaki is richer in flavor than traditional teriyaki and is made with real Italian balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. It's also produced with Tamari soy sauce and is lower in salt than most teriyaki sauces making a healthier sauce and marinade. It's the perfect blend of organic and all-natural ingredients with a hint of garlic—'nuff said!
