Food Network Star Jeff Mauro Debuts Pork & Mindy's Sauces

Celebrity chef and Food Network star Jeff Mauro and grilling aficionado Kevin Corsello have teamed up to launch a new company, Pork & Mindy's, that's committed to delivering unforgettable culinary experiences for food fans nationwide. The Pork & Mindy's brand made its debut this week with the introduction of its first line of products at retail: three deliciously versatile sauces perfect for grilling, marinating, dipping and as a condiment on a favorite dish. Available in Signature Sweet, fiery Sweet Heat and tangy Mustard varieties, Pork & Mindy's sauces feature a proprietary blend of spices and flavors and include only high-quality, fresh, all-natural ingredients. All three unique sauces are gluten free and contain no artificial preservatives or high fructose corn syrup. Mauro and Corsello developed the Pork & Mindy's line of sauces so that busy at-home cooks and food-lovers could easily create flavorful dishes, elevating their favorite meats and vegetables. "As an Italian kid raised in Chicago, food has always played a huge role in my life," says Mauro, host of the Food Network's Sandwich King and The Kitchen and co-founder of Pork & Mindy's. "Growing up on Taylor Street, I was exposed to amazing dishes and experiences that I've carried with me into my Food Network career and beyond. After much experimenting, Kevin and I were able to find the perfect balance of flavors that truly taste unlike anything else on grocery store shelves. Each of our three sauces are delicious and so versatile with endless ways to use them. I have been approached for years about creating my own line of products, and I'm so incredibly proud of what we've created together with the introduction of Pork & Mindy's. With our vision and amazing team, this is just the beginning for us." Corsello adds: "Many years ago, well before his success on the Food Network, Jeff and I met and became friends. As two Italian kids from Chicago, we instantly knew that we were both happiest behind a grill or slow-smoker, enjoying great food, together with family and friends. As we explored other ways to collaborate, we saw a need in the marketplace for a line of grilling sauces that could liven up any dish and that reflected what we both care deeply about. We're very proud to launch this new brand together and anticipate expanding this concept in many additional ways." Pork & Mindy's sauces can be purchased online nationwide at www.porkandmindys.com for $5.99 per 20-ounce bottle, as well as at Mariano's locations throughout Chicagoland and Pick 'n Save, Metro Market, and Copps stores in Wisconsin, beginning this July.
