SouthCoast Sides You Wish You Could Buy in Stores

Have you ever been at a local restaurant and wished they would sell one of their products? We don't mean their prepared meals...we mean some of the sauces and sides that really stand out.

You've probably heard of Ken's Salad Dressing. Ken's was just a family owned steakhouse in Framingham, Massachusetts. Their salad dressing recipe was so popular...they became known more for their salads than their steaks. Now, they distribute over 60 different flavors of their salad dressing around the world.

When I was going to Syracuse University, there was a BBQ shack downtown that was wildly popular with the students and residents, alike. The Dinosaur BBQ's sauce was so good...they decided to distribute it to supermarkets like Stop and Shop (although I haven't seen it available there for several months).

This got us thinking about local, SouthCoast restaurants that could do something similar.

99 Cheese and Crackers
Pub 99- Dartmouth and Fairhaven, MA
If you've ever eaten at the 99 Restaurant, you've probably tried the cheese and crackers. In my personal opinion, 99 should release some type of "cheese and cracker kit" in stores so we can get our fix.

NYAJ Dipping Oil
Not Your Average Joe's- Dartmouth, MA
The best way to start your visit at Not Your Average Joe's is with a little bread and sauce. The oil served at Not Your Average Joe's pairs perfectly with the bread, and has an awesome, peppery kick to go with the Parmesan cheese.
