The Story of Mike's Savvy Seasoning

Some things are best not planned.  So it has been with Savvy Seasoning, which I’ve been making since 1980.  For a number of years I only made it for an annual South Texas hunting trip. Friends and guests frequently remarked about how flavorful the foods at camp were.

Soon, I began making and bottling seasoning to give away as gifts to friends and family during the holidays.  It didn’t take long before I was receiving calls, letters and later e-mails from people saying “Mike, I’m hooked on your seasoning; how can I get some more?” People began asking for it by the case and I started getting e-mails and calls from people whom I'd never met. That's when I knew that there was something special about my seasoning. 

Mike’s Savvy Seasoning is not complex, hot, or spicy, but it tastes great on so many foods.  Many who try it end up using it every day. I love to hear someone say, “Please pass me the Mike’s”, or “Please pass the Savvy”.

Mike’s Savvy Seasoning is great on meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit, pastas, and just about everything… except ice-cream!

In 2005, someone told me they loved Savvy Seasoning but could not have any sugar or sugar substitutes because they were diabetic. I accepted the challenge and developed Savvy Seasoning Light in 2006.  Little did I know, that in 2010 my personal health condition would lead to removing all sugar from my own diet. Savvy Seasoning Light has been a life saver on my restricted diet.

Now I want to make it easy for everyone to Order Mike’s Savvy Seasoning. We are fortunate to have the internet as a means to do this. A lot has changed in 30 years since I first began making Mike’s Savvy Seasoning, but my seasoning has remained the same.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy making it for you.
