Spiceology has the flavor for the occasion - and is bringing some fusion-inspired fare this holiday season! Spiceologist and Chef Tony's culinary passion, education, and roots are firmly planted in Szechuan cuisine and restaurants; this year he's bringing some heat and a few mind-blowing pairings with an Asian fusion-inspired Thanksgiving menu. Spiceology's Korean BBQ blend is a fan favorite for a good reason - it's packed with Chile Flakes, White Sesame Seeds, Black Sesame Seeds, Tamari Soy Sauce Powder, Maple Sugar, Smoked Paprika, Orange Peel, Cayenne, and more. The Korean BBQ blend brings an ultra-flavorful twist to classic roasted turkey and is an absolute crowd-pleaser. Happy roasting!
