Jimmy O's Texas Marinades www.jimmyos.com

Born and raised in San Antonio, Jimmy moved to Austin in 1971 and worked in various local restaurants while studying Business at the University of Texas. In 1991 he returned to Bergheim with nearly 20 years of restaurant experience and began perfecting some of his favorite sauces and marinades. Today he caters toward the "Y2K" shopper who is better informed about nutrition and who is tired of the same old tomato based barbecue sauce on their grilled meats, seafood and veggies. "Today's backyard chef reads the label and chooses sauces that are all natural and made with fresh fruits, veggies, herbs and spices. They're not afraid to spend 5 to 15 dollars per pound for the best cuts of meat and seafood or a dollar more for the very best marinades and grilling sauces" Jimmy says. All of his marinades are also for grilling and dipping to be used before, during and after cooking. His latest creation, Garlic Pesto Marinade and Gourmet Dressing is a prime example. Fresh garlic, fresh herbs, olive oil, lime juice, balsamic vinegar and white wine to compliment, not drown your favorite grilled items. It's also a dynamite salad dressing.

Jimmy now has three new spices on the market as well. Texas Spicy Rub, Texas Lemon Pepper, and Texas Garlic & Herb. All three have no MSG, no preservatives and no sugar. The Spicy Rub was designed as an all-purpose seasoned salt for use on briskets, steaks, fajitas, seafood and veggies, just about anything. It was introduced at the Texas Fiery Foods Show in Austin in 2001 and took first place that very day for the "Rub" category. The Lemon Pepper is virtually the same Spicy Rub but with real lemon peel, perfect for steaks, seafood, poultry and veggies. The Garlic & Herb Blend is a centuries old combination of herbs and spices brought to America by Alsatian immigrants in the 1800's. This blend of garlic, sage, rosemary and real lemon peel is perfect on all roasted meats and poultry.

New for 2002 is Jimmy O's Texas Mesquite Beef Jerky, First Place Award winner at the 2002 International Zesty Foods Show. The Texas Mesquite Marinade has been used world wide to make jerky with for over ten years. Now this Premium Beef Jerky is available, ready to eat, in 2, 4, and 8 ounce bags.

All of Jimmy O's Texas Marinades and spices are National Award Winners in such competitions as Fiery Foods' "Scovie Awards", Chile Pepper Magazine's "Fiery Food Challenge", Food Distribution Magazine, Austin Chronicle's "Peoples Choice Awards" as well as the International Zesty Foods Show "Shoot-out".
