Who is Dorothy Lynch? 

In the late 1940s, Dorothy Lynch and her husband ran the restaurant at the local Legion Club in St. Paul, Nebraska. This is where she first served up the original recipe for Dorothy Lynch Home Style Dressing. As more Legion Club members tasted the sweet and spicy flavor, the legend of Dorothy Lynch began to grow, and the dressing became a statewide favorite. Locals even brought in their own bottles to fill up with "that delicious Dorothy Lynch salad dressing." Today, Dorothy Lynch Home Style Dressing & Condiment is the essential ingredient in every Midwestern family’s favorite recipes—not just salad. Based in Columbus, Nebraska.

Who is Chili Dawgs Foods of Fire? 

In the mid-1990’s, two brothers, Tim & Shawn, were sharing their homemade condiment concoctions with family and friends. After much contemplation, the two brothers, both of whom have a passion for great food with heat, started Chili Dawg’s Foods of Fire. During this time, the brothers also began making Habanero pepper spreads using the Habaneros grown in their gardens. Today they have have several spreads that can be used at home or in barbeque. Based in Gretna, Nebraska.
