Oh My Caesar!

Matt & Steve Extreme Bean Caesar<– Fellow Caesar lovers, is your mouth watering right now because mine is! I am a die-hard Caesar fan and can tell you exactly where I was when I had my very first taste of this Canadian classic! Since then it’s been my favorite drink year round but most definitely enjoyed in the summer on a deck!

Caesar lovers have all sorts of techniques for making the perfect cocktail – everything ranging from pickle juice or a pickled veggie to heavy on the Worcestershire, ease up on the Tabasco.  It’s an art, people!

So, when proposed with the idea of checking out Matt & Steve’s Extreme Bean products, the perfect garnish for Caesars – I was clearly out of control with excitement.

I love the story of Matt & Steve’s – the company was created in an apartment where the founders (yes Matt and Steve) perfected making the perfect Caesar garnish.

Bartenders for years, they poured hundreds (thousands?) of Caesars over celery and wanted to make something ‘tasty, topical, social and fun’ (the brand pillars still today!)

The Extreme Bean was discovered.

It’s actually a Kentucky flat bean (a what a what?) and grows longer, sweeter and crunchier than a normal bean.  Eureka!  If you’ve ever purchased pickled beans and discovered after a day of being opened that they are mushy and slimy – I totally feel your pain Caesar-friend!

I was thrilled – thrilled I tell you – to find that Matt & Steve’s Extreme Beans do not get mushy and yucky after opening the jar!  They stay crisp in your fridge, taste delicious, and make your Caesars that much better.

extreme bean caesar garnishThe Extreme Bean product line includes the original Extreme Bean, Garlic & Dill Extreme Bean (adds so much more flavor to your Caesar!) and Extreme B’nOlive for martinis or just straight out of the jar!  You can also find Matt & Steve’s Bloody Caesar Rimmer and Caesar Glasses (I need these, I need the perfect Caesar glass!) at their online store.

Don’t want to wait, need the perfect Caesar this weekend?  Look for Matt & Steve’s Extreme Bean products at Sobey’s and Safeway locations, among others.  If you can’t find it, ask the store manager to carry it!

Of course, I want to share the Caesar love and have a giveaway for my readers!

  • My hubby loves a good Caesar – he makes them himself so I don’t know his secret recipe! I’m sure he would love to try these Extreme Beans!

  • I want to try Extreme Bean on its own – I am not a big fan of caesars (although I’m just guessing at that).

  • My Husband makes the BEST Caesars! His secret is a shake of celery salt, pickle juice and lots of Worcestershire and tabasco of course. I love Caesars!!

  • A shake of Montreal steak spice, loads of tobasco (or even better louisianna HOT), a picked bean, a large celery stick, extra Worcestershire, and HEAPS of celery salt around the rim! Lovely for celery and bean dippin’!

  • Extreme Beans are the best accessory to any Caesar!!! I recently tried the Extreme Olives and they were absolutely amazing too 🙂
