Spring's Doorstep

Happy St Patrick’s Day weekend!  We Hope everyone had a super time drinking green beer and hopefully you found yourself with a bottle of Rooster Sauce to spice up your life in between frothy sips. As for us, in our own version of March madness we’ve got several cases of newly bottled, newly labeled (after a lot of careful measuring) Rooster Sauce all destined for local grocery stores, restaurants and people like you. There’s even a rumor that a few bottles have made their way to Canada, France, Thailand and most of the 50 States. From far and wide this week we’ve gotten great feedback from new tasters who are using the word “awesome” to describe Rooster Sauce. It’s even become a staple for certain dinner tables that need some new life ‘clucked’ into their food. In other news, the crew has been busy fine-tuning the website to ensure that it is informative, user friendly and to create a great resource for wholesalers to order directly from us on the internet. If you or someone you know has a store or restaurant that wants a high quality, American made product that’s different from the rest, then Rooster Sauce is sure to interest you – tell your friends and family, your boss, your hot neighbour, that guy at your favorite coffee shop – tell everyone because spring is in the air and everyone likes something new to start the season with. In other words, when you roll out your barbeque, Rooster Sauce will be ready.... 

March Rooster Madness

     Can you believe it’s March already? Time is flying by and the Rooster Crew wants to keep you informed about all that is happening with de Mars’s LLC. So, read up weekly as we make the most of this blog to keep you in the know. Right now, the crew is hard at work making the absolute most of our Kickstarter triumph. During the February campaign it was incredibly exciting as we approached our $25,000 goal, and it literally came down to the last few hours available to us before those final pledges squeaked us into success. A huge thank you to everyone who made a pledge, posted and re-posted our links online to spread the 'Rooster Sauce' word, or just generally gave us a shout out and offered their support for our small business that is on the rise.
     On that note, watch your mailboxes because rewards are on their way. After many hours of dedicated design work and fine tuning, t-shirts and stickers will be seen all over the USA as Rooster Sauce supporters get their pledging prizes. Furthermore, prepare to be inspired by the “Seven Days of Rooster Sauce” e-cookbook with meal, snack and drink ideas – might we suggest you check out the BBQ Rooster Wings. For now, we’re heading into the official kitchen to make up a whole new batch of sauce so that even more people get a chance to find out how awesome it is. Stay tuned for updates!
