SAUCY MAMA RECIPE CONTEST HEATING UP FOOD BLOGS

Pendleton, Ore. (August 25, 2009) – – Saucy Mama’s Lime Chipotle marinade is dominating the blogosphere right now, all thanks to the company’s tremendously successful recipe contest which wraps up this week.

In launching Barhyte Specialty Food’s new signature brand, Saucy Mama, the company introduced a recipe contest engaging 25 influential food bloggers to experiment with the new line of finishing sauces, salad dressings, mustards and marinades. So far, more than 60 recipes have been submitted, with many more expected before the contest deadline on September 1.

“We’ve been overwhelmed by the attention this contest has generated for Saucy Mama, but moreover by the attention each of these food bloggers have given to creating delicious, easy meals for busy families to recreate,” said Chris Barhyte, vice president of sales for Barhyte Specialty Foods. “We’re already putting many of these recipes to the test and cannot wait to announce the winning recipes. Needless to say, we’ll be eating well for the next couple of weeks while we test them out!”

Today, popular food sites such as www.TasteSpotting.com, www.FoodGawker.com, and www.SeriousEats.com are loaded with Saucy Mama recipes. A quick search of the term “Lime Chipotle” on any one of these recipe destinations reveals many colorful and delicious applications of this popular Saucy Mama marinade.

Other Saucy Mama condiments currently being tested by participating bloggers include: Saucy Mama Sesame Ginger Dressing; Saucy Mama Parmesan Garlic Marinade; Saucy Mama Raspberry Vinaigrette; and Saucy Mama Chipotle Mustard.

The “Saucy Mama’s Extraordinary Condiment Contest” offered 25 lucky food bloggers the opportunity to win a bundle of prizes, including a Grand Prize of an Amazon Kindle 2 Wireless Reader, as well as a $150 certificate to Amazon.com, and best of all, a featured place on Saucy Mama’s packaging. Three Runners-Up will receive an Audiovox 7” Under-Counter Television/DVD player to enhance their own culinary setting.

Winners will be announced on September 15, 2009.

Barhyte Specialty Foods®, based out of Pendleton, Oregon, has roots dating back 200 years and 6,000 miles away in Germany, where Jacobus Barhyte first created a sweet and sour mustard that he brought to the US. Many generations later, Jan and Susan Barhyte began selling mustard from the original recipe, as well as other signature creations, through their Swift and Martin Station Deli. Thanks to overwhelming demand, the family launched their own manufacturing operation in 1977. Today, the company offers more than 65 award-winning mustards, marinades, sauces, and other condiments.
