America's Zesty Best Professional Food Competition
On June 17, more than 750 products competed in the America's Zesty Best
competition in Orange County, CA. The competition is held during the
America's Zesty Best Food Show, a spicy and hot food show produced by
Jazz Foods. Big Acres Chipotle Peanut Sauce won 2nd place in the
Condiment/Dressing category! Big Acres Sauces now has 6 product and
website awards! Read our press release
for more information.
People often ask us how they should use the Chipotle Peanut
Sauce. We say "put it on everything"! Brush it on your grilled chicken,
pork, beef, tofu, veggies. Dip your meat or veggies. Use it as a salad
dressing over mixed greens with Mandarin oranges and crushed nuts. Dip
your teriyaki chicken skewers into warmed peanut sauce. We have loads
of recipes to guide you on our Mouth-Watering Recipes
page, and you might want to try the recipe below.
