Mandy—a tender nickname

His name was Armando. She called him Mandy. An endearing nickname for a man who—by looks—was seemingly macho. A man who had the charisma to wear a white suit on his wedding day and who shone as brightly as the bride.

Eleanor & Armando Catalano

She called him Mandy

From a birds-eye-view the tender nickname seemed perplexing but down to earth it made all the sense in the world.

Dad was King. Mom was Queen and she cooked like a Queen for her King. I made Armando’s garlic salt in this likeness—A garlic salt made for royalty. A garlic salt that’s bright and bold with a tender heat that feeds your belly well.

WArm toasty flavor

Lots of freshly ground garlic, pure ocean sea salt, fiery red pepper, and sharp black pepper give this garlic salt an extra kick of heat and a warm toasty flavor.

Devotion to flavor

Mom was devoted to Dad’s foodieism. So am I—it’s what inspired me to create Armando’s garlic salt.

How’d I’d do?
