Is getting there and having to wait 45 minutes to be seated and when you do, you end up having to split a table with another couple, who are undoubtedly in what they call is "luuuuve'. The other couple's public display of affection gets you wondering 'Why they are more in love with you?' Before you know its a competition, that gets too far out of hand and leaves you kicked out of the only half decent restaurant, on the night of the year that is booked out months in advance.

The answer is the Flank steak which hails from the muscle under the loin in the abdominal region. It is a thicker, wider cut than its look-alike the Skirt steak but like the Skirt it too is lean, has lots of tough fibres and really delivers a deep beefy flavour. It is easy to handle and to cook. Plus, its versatile cut. Marinades and Flank Steak have a great working relationship. The marinade will help to loosen the tough fibres, meaning less chewing on your part. We recommend marinading the Flank steak for about an hour or two but if you like to marinade it longer, knock yourself out, but it is best if you don't let it sit for longer than 24 hours.

Since introducing the Pastrami Dry Rub into our House-Made pastrami, we've been hooked on Jackalope Slow Foods dry rubs! Todd Hill, owner of Jackalope Slow Foods shared with us the history and his mission behind this amazing range. I first created my own dry rubs to use in my cooking when I started my own market and catering business. The goal was to create unique flavour combinations with no additives, colours or flavour enhancers ensuring that only the best ingredients were used. Being a 3rd generation cook, both my mother and grandmother taught me the importance of scratch cooking, and not cutting corners when it comes to ingredients. The feedback we received from our customers about our blend of flavours was so strong that we decided to take the next step and make them available for people to use at home.

It was predicted by the National Chicken Council that this years Super Bowl Americans will eat roughly 1.33 billion chicken wings. That is enough wings to circle the earth almost 3 times!
