Whiskey Hound Catering – Pam Malcontento
Will you please describe your creations?
Our Sauces are made with TN Whiskey and Nashville brewed beer for a real spirit flavor; no artificial flavorings. They capture the true flavor of Whiskey. We make luxury BBQ products such as our spices and rubs with a goal of giving customers options to make every meal amazing and unusual with ease.
How, where and why did the inspiration come to you for these creations?
We are whiskey lovers and obsessed with cooking and eating great food so it was natural to take the sauce that we worked for years to perfect and the spices that were sparked by our creative palates to market for others.
Tell us about your favorite medium.
Food! I've never been able to draw or paint but I see food as my artistic medium that makes people happy and provides a great experience and nourishment.
What motivates you to create?
Any beautiful piece of food like a gorgeous heirloom tomato or a perfectly marbled ribeye makes the gears in my head turn. Having people to cook for also gets me excited to delight them and give them unforgettable flavors. I've had some unforgettable meals in beautiful restaurants, roadside shacks and my own kitchen.
Which trends inspire your current work?
I've been cooking with bourbon and beer for years but chefs are starting to publicize this which is great for our business. As people hear about something that may seem imposing our products capture this trend with ease.
What do you hope to achieve with your work?
We hope to transform people's cooking with ease to make ordinary meals extraordinary and to feel that they are using fun and innovative products to do it. We strive to inspire foodies and wanna be foodies alike!
Do you support a cause or nonprofit, and why?
We support various bloodhound rescues. We have two bloodhounds (Dolly and Cash) that have been the inspiration for our logos. Bloodhounds are a gentle and loyal breed that make great friends to humans and other animals. We additionally support local events such as food banks.
Lastly, if you could have any super power, what would it be and why?
We would give our customers magic wands to wave over their kitchens and BBQs to create magical meals!
