Top Secret Gourmets is Proud to Announce its Third Annual Griller of the Summer Competition

Top Secret Gourmets has made many giant strides over the course of the last few months. From a massive update on our website featuring online sales and a brand-new blog, to an amazing showing at the 2015 Scovie Awards, to the beginning of our favorite time of the year, grilling season, the crew at Top Secret Gourmets is looking forward to the best summer we’ve ever had in the business. We’d like to discuss some of this progression as well as outlining the rules for the 3rd Annual Griller of the Summer competition.

Our Brand-New Website

Our website has been a labor of love over the past few months, as we were fortunate enough to become involved with Bart Kaminski of KollisionMedia (http://www.kollisionmedia.com). With Bart’s incredible talent, we were able to bring a brand-new, fresh perspective on a website that hadn’t been updated in quite some time. His ability to understand our business and a look that we might want came very quickly and seamlessly. In fact, should you ever need any web design, we would highly recommend his work!

The 2015 Scovie Awards

Top Secret Gourmets was extremely successful at the 2015 Scovie Awards to the tune of 13 award winners! The Scovie Awards recognize the top BBQ and fiery food products from around the globe and is by far one of the world’s most competitive gourmet food competitions. Each year, about 800 products in more than 80 categories from around the world compete for honors. Here is a breakdown of some of the highlights from the show:

The Third Annual Griller of the Summer competition

One of the most fun things we’ve done in recent history has to be our Griller of the Summer competitions that we’ve done through our social media channels. Through our presence on Facebook and Twitter, we’ve managed to crown two of our top fans based on their efforts using our spices. Starting Memorial Day weekend through the end of September, follow these rules to enter:

The rules are simple:
• Fire up the propane grill, charcoal grill, smoker or other cooker
• Take a photo of your food using any of our Top Secret Gourmets spices
• Upload the photo to our Facebook wall or to Twitter using a mention of @TSGourmets or #TSGriller describing the dish and which spices you used.
• The months of June, July, August and September will feature a “Griller of the Month”
• At the beginning of October, the four “Grillers” will enter into a tournament (based on fan voting) for a Top Secret Gourmets Prize Pack, featuring your choice of our award-winning spices!

So be sure that every time you grill, use your favorite Top Secret Gourmets spices, snap and photo and upload it. It really is that simple!
