Spent Sunday and today at the National Restaurant Show at McCormick Place.  It’s a great black hole of food and equipment, some of which is awesome and some is just…awe, what the heck is that for?

Couple of places got a a second look, among them MySpiceSage, for spices, herbs, teas, etc. at really, really good prices.  Probably the best part is they offer free shipping with no minimums and every order gets a one ounce freebie of your choice!  They offer a 100% guarantee so you can return or exchange your order – they’ll even pay for the return shipping.

MySpiceSage was offering a 15% discount with promo code NRASHOW15, and they’ve agreed to extend it to all you non-attendees.  cool beans, huh?  You can search by spice, by cuisine, taste or popularity.  What I like is the huge variety of “ethnic” spices that you’d normally have to drive around to find.  I’m very interested in Indian cuisine (especially using a slow cooker), so the masala blends are definitely going on my shopping list.

and no, they are not paying me squat for this post, I just think it’s a great deal for all of us!
