Title: Doug named as Marzetti Salad Dressings national spokesman
Post by: Doug Varrieur on November 08, 2012, 09:58:19 AM
I'm pleased to announce that the Marzetti Company owner of 15 national brands has contracted me as their on air chef for the national brands Marzetti simply dressed and simply dressed light salad dressings. http://www.marzetti.com/products/marzetti/salad-dressings.htm (http://www.marzetti.com/products/marzetti/salad-dressings.htm)

I will be filming two 3 minute spots at the Daily Buzz studios in Orlando which will air nationally during the months of January and February. I've fallen head over heals for the Ranch and Blue Cheese dressings, you'll find them in many grocery stores in the refrigerated section near the veggies :)

Just don't become too big for us Doug... Ha Ha  ;D ;D :o :o ;) ;)

one of the things I love about this forum is the family atmosphere.  Do you think if you go to a forum for any of the other programs that the author actually participates?  I think not.

I think maybe because it isn't shelf stable and needs to be refrigerated.   ;)

I bought the Ranch this weekend.  Toosweet - which Blue cheese have you tried they had a Chunky Blue Cheese and I think the other was just Blue Cheese.  I wasn't sure about the Chunky?  :)

I'm a blue cheese lover so I always go for the chunky.  On the rare occasion they are out I do buy the other...they are both good Amber.

Blue cheese is wonderful on steak! ;D ;D ;D
That's why many restaurants offer it on their menus.

We have it often. ;)

Hi Shawn! :)

We don't personally have (i.e. own) any restaurants.

However, restaurants in our area offer a chunky blue cheese sauce as a topping for steak.
Applebee's is one of them.

Great job, Doug! :) :) :) :) :)

Every time I see carrots in/on a food, I try to estimate the amount and carb count.
A medium sized carrot has about 4 net carb grams.
See:

I don't use carrots either... producers insisted they wanted the color.  ::)  Stay away from the sweet marzetti dressings like the ones I put on fruit. Too high in carbs. The creamy dressings are very low and the Blue Cheese is to die for :)
