Char Crust seasonings perfect for BBQ season review and giveaway ends 5-18

The weather is getting nicer and the BBQ's have been started up. I have been smelling them all around me. It makes my mouth water thinking about the burgers, steaks, chicken, fish and more grilling all over. The thing I am always excited for is trying all the new seasonings to spice up my delicious BBQ food. So when I got the chance to try Char Crust® dry-rub seasonings I honestly could not wait.
Char Crust® dry-rub seasonings consist of premium herb blends, spices and other natural ingredients that can be simply rubbed onto the surface of uncooked meat or fish, or sprinkled over raw vegetables then broiled, baked, grilled, pan-seared, roasted, or sautéed. They come in four different tasty flavors: Roasted garlic peppercorn, Ginger teriyaki , Amazin Cajun, and All American barbecue. I love all of them. There is a seasoning for anything you cook and that is awesome. I have made burgers, steaks, chicken and fish with the seasoning as well as some veggies and I did not have one complaint just praises on how good everything tasted. That feels good when you have a very picky family who's taste buds are all very different.
If you never tried Char Crust® dry-rub seasonings you should get some and try it this BBQ season. You will be glad you did and so will you dinner guests. Best part it is very reasonably priced so pick up all four. Also check Char Crust on facebook for more recipe ideas and more.

Break out Kings season 1 now on DVD

Season 1 on DVD March 13
There’s no escape when “BREAKOUT KINGS,” comes to DVD on March 13 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Don’t miss the chance to catch up on the gripping suspense, meet the provocative characters and experience the non-stop action that helped “BREAKOUT KINGS” Season 1, post record ratings for an original drama series on A&E.
Now renewed for its second season, “BREAKOUT KINGS” follows some unconventional partners working to catch convicts on the run. Driven by the fact that there are few things more dangerous than a prisoner who has just escaped and tired of following protocol, veteran U.S. Marshals Charlie DuChamp (Laz Alonso) and Ray Zancanelli (Domenick Lombardozzi) are taking an unorthodox approach to their work: using former fugitives to catch fugitives. If they agree to help, the fugitives’ sentences will be reduced for each escaped convict they bring in. However, if any of them should try to escape themselves their sentences will be doubled. Will the “BREAKOUT KINGS” wait for their freedom, or will they go on the run themselves?
“BREAKOUT KINGS” Season 1 is loaded with exclusive special features including deleted and extended scenes and several must see featurettes including Good Cons, Bad Cons, Bullpin Sessions, and spotlight on Prison Break cross-over character T:Bag Dealt a Bad Hand. So head out and pick it up today!
