No doubt it is delicious stuff. But I use it very sparingly because it can
be too salty.

But this is a man who overly salts all of his food. And guess what he ate
for lunch today? Yep! The leftover steak. Even asked Angela if she was
going to eat it before he sank his teeth into it. No complaints today!

Same..i simply put a few sprigs rosemary on top of the meat as i grill it
and thats enough flavor for me and i salt and pepper it after as im eating
it..i used to be a season adict alsways pushing the bounries but now i let
the meat speak for itsself.

I will say though that we had terrible beef until like 6 tears ago they
started selling angus and prime cuts.

used be a tbone steak was more bone then steak and flavorless...now a thing
of beauty.

I have used Montreal Steak Seasoning, but we now use the Jack Daniels EZ
Marinade. We like the Mesquite one for our steaks on the grill. Haven't
tried on chicken yet.

Try some labelled habaneros or Scotch bonnets, if you can find any.
Those are about as hot as you can get. To get any hotter, you need
to switch to pepper extracts.

I have seen those. My former neighbor told me to use Thai chilis.
