I took a walk down to Western Market in Ferndale the other day to grab a tasty steak for dinner, and came accross these fun spice rubs I had never seen before. They are made by the Detroit Spice Company, which is on Russell Street in Detroit. They have fun flavors like "Greektown" and "Mexicantown". I bought the Steak Seasoning, and it was delicious! Plus the metal containers are so cool and well designed, I'm inclined to collect em' all! http://www.detroitspiceco.com (hint: each tin is $5 on the website, but I got them for 3.99 at Western Market") | ||

The steak seasoning is insanely delicious. We use it exclusively with our Costco steaks. | ||

The owner of Detroit Spice Co. is multitalented. He ran the TasteFest for several years. He also wrote a book about the New Center area that was published a few years ago. The spices are good, too. | ||

GREAT products! I gave a gift basket of spices to the groomsmen that stood up in my wedding. Much better than some engraved flask... | ||

A Mr. Fogelman would be the man of interest. I hear he's a swell guy. | ||

The Mexicantown is perfect for fajitas. Just add some lime juice, oil, and tequila (and red wine vinegar with steak) and you're in for some fantastic fajitas. I love the Greektown, too. I marinate chicken in it with lemon juice and olive oil and then grill/broil the chicken to serve in pitas with tzatziki. Their Steak, Jerk, and BBQ blends are great too, as are their hot sauces, especially the habanero. I stock up on everything at Rafal or Pure Detroit whenever I'm back home. | ||

Randall is a great guy who really cares about the city. I grew up with him and he is one of those people who does things out of passion. | ||

The Jerk and Steak are staples in our kitchen. Has anyone tried Costco's two rubs yet? They are good too. They have a mesquite rub that is a bit sweet and a steak rub which we just bought and havent tried yet. | ||

The Montreal Steak Seasoning at Costco is excellent. Combined with some filets from Antonios (16/Dequindre +/- a mile) = heaven. | ||

Antonios is at 17 Mile and Ryan. And they are some great filets. | ||

Thanks, for some reason I'm always off a bit on their location. We usually buy the whole loin and have it cut into steaks. A bit cheaper per pound that way. Costco has a lot of nice food but I've never liked their steaks much. The tri-tip was OK though. |
