Spiceology, the popular chef-owned and chef-operated spice company, has recently launched a comfort food spice range that promises to elevate one's indulgences. This launch was made possible through a partnership with Chef Alvin Cailan—the host of The Burger Show, owner of Amboy Quality Meats and Delicious Burgers, author, and creator of popular restaurants and culinary innovations.
Titled Flavor SZN, the comfort food spice range by Spiceology and Chef Alvin Cailan features four ultra-versatile blends. These include the Burger SZN, the Fries SZN, the Chicken SZN, and the Everything SZN. As one may guess from the name, each blend is expertly orchestrated to complement a comfort food-favorite ingredient with the exception of the last one, the Everything SZN, which is a seaweed and mushroom-based all-purpose blend that pays homage to Cailan's Filipino roots.
