Review – Chef of the Future Not Your Average Cajun Seasoning Rub

Robert M. Simon from RJM Products Company in Livingston New Jersey was kind enough to mail me a jar of his Chef of the Future Not your average Cajun Seasoning for me to review.

Having heard some good things about this seasoning I could not wait to give it a try.

When the package came in the mail I was impressed by the fact that Robert enclosed a business card and a personally addressed letter on company letterhead.

Also impressive was that after I became a friend on his Facebook page Robert also made the effort to stay in touch by chat.

Being that I often try various rubs and spices on the BBQ I of course was wanting to try the seasoning on meat but something on the label caught my eye.

It said that it is “A Unique and Delicious Rub-On Seasoning for Anything you Cook on your Grill or in your Kitchen”

And that it is  “Great on Chicken,Steak,Beef, Chops, Seafood and More!”

Also “Try it on French Fries, You Will Be Amazed! (shake on before baking)”

All that has merit but when I read “Anything you Cook” and “in your Kitchen” I wanted to experiment.

So first off I tried this seasoning in Scrambled Eggs the reason I did this was simple, When I make eggs I normally add just a little pepper and maybe some Ketchup so I wanted to see how the Seasoning tasted on plain eggs since the flavour would be true with nothing else to mask the flavours.

I mixed the seasoning in with eggs before cooking and whisked it well. I have to say that the seasoning gave the eggs a real kick, so much nicer than just pepper. I have added it each time I had eggs for breakfast since.

I have now been using the Chef of the Future Not your average Cajun Seasoning for a month now and used it on a number of dishes.

I would of tried this on the French  Fries as suggested but to date I have not had any in the house to add it too, though I did add it to a couple of Potato dishes and the flavour was very nice.

Steak is a natural choice for this type of Seasoning so I used it on come economy cuts of steak and it added the Cajun taste to a meat that normally when I grill plain is rather bland, so I give it top marks for that.

I also tried some of the seasoning on some leftover BBQ Beans and Cauliflower/Kielbasa Salad and enjoyed the Cajun taste that it gave.

I really enjoyed using the on MOINK Balls that I cooked for my Father In-Laws birthday party, I smoked 100 of these tasty little devils half of them had Roberts Seasoning the other half had a Pork rub from Hank Daddy’s Barbecue and what I noticed is that the Chef of the Future did not add as much colour to the MOINKS as the Hank Daddy’s did but both did add great flavour  and some of the guests liked the Chef of the Future rubbed Balls best since they wanted flavour but not too much heat. Also good to keep in mind that putting the seasoning on the Bacon Wrapped Meatballs did not give you that over salted taste which can happen if you add too much Salt to a Bacon that really does not need added salt.

The Ingredients listed on the label are…

Salt, Spices, Onion, Sugar, Corn Starch and Lemon Peel, however even that Salt is the first ingredient it does not mean that it is the main ingredient, Robert tells me that the other spices do indeed out number the salt content. and that His Seasoning has less than 1/4 the sodium of other Cajun Seasonings on the market.

I will continue to use the Chef of the Future Not your average Cajun Seasoning in other foods I prepare and yes I will try it on French Fries too.

I keep this seasoning right next to my Salt & Pepper Shakers in my kitchen and in my opinion on many foods it is a much better option than the Salt & Pepper.
