My A-1 Steak Sauce

Let me tell you, I don't care what kind of sauce it is, or who makes it, when you want something on your steak, you reach for A-1.
Nothing even comes close.
There are some cuts that I just want a little salt and pepper with, and I cringe when I look over and see someone drown a perfectly good piece of meat with ketchup

Most people will agree with me, and will refuse anything else on their meat.
Here in the past few years, A-1 has been advertised as a topping on burgers, and as an ingredient in meatloaf.
I haven't been that far yet, but a few years ago, I got something started at the place I frequent for breakfast, and I always hear a little noise about it when someone new decides to join us to eat.

I always get the scrambled eggs and fried potato's, but depending on the day, depends on what I get with it.
I am in a rural area, so sausage is available fresh, so is the bacon, and some mornings steak.
One morning in particular, our favorite eatery had a surplus of strip steaks, and had put them on the morning specials.
Happy Day ! Steak specials all around !
Naturally, when I applied my A-1 to my steak, I went ahead and and covered my taters, and said what the heck, covered my eggs as well.
This has stuck, and to this day, no matter what I get with my special, you can bet I am covering my eggs with A-1.
There is always the noobie that sits down and looks with the strange face and always makes the comment, but always has to try it.

The Shake


Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry.
On occasion we will get a pumpkin spice, or an egg nog, or a shamrock flavor, but for years the same old big 3 C-V-S
Why not drop the strawberry for banana ?
I would love a banana shake !
Maybe drop the chocolate and switch to coffee, they are pushing all the McCafe stuff, I mean just a thought.
I am just so tired of the big 3.
They do so much to change things up, and keep up with the times at the fast food places, why not come up with another flavor for their ice cream ?
I can see it now, A McRib, fries, and a banana shake.
Oh well, let me go grab some celery sticks.

Tried The Zatarains ?


Have you guys tried this stuff yet ?
We love it !
It is a toss up between the beans and rice mix, and the dirty rice as a side dish when we have some steaks or something, but we started making the jambalaya mix lately and it is great for a fast dinner.
I stop in and grab a pound or so of raw shrimp, and a roll of smoked sausage, fry it all up together in my big skillet, and the mix does the rest of the work.
Just wanted to give a shout to the Zatarains people, I love their stuff !
