 Tucker, Georgia, May 2012 — What is it? It’s the brand name of a kamado-style ceramic charcoal cooker. It’s commonly referred to as a kamado barbecue because of the origins of the basic design that lie in southern Japan.
The word "mushikamado" means "steam cooker" (from "mushi" meaning "to steam", and "kamado" meaning "cooker, oven, or kiln") The mushikamado was a device designed to steam rice and used by Japanese families for ceremonial occasions and took the shape of a round clay pot with a removable domed clay lid.
It also featured a top damper and bottom draft door. The mushikamado first came to the attention of the Americans after World War II when US Air Force servicemen would bring them back from Japan in empty transport planes. It wasn’t until the late 1960s that manufacturing started in the Americas. The Big Green Egg Company was founded in 1974 by Ed Fisher and is based in Tucker, just a few miles north of Atlanta. Production of the Big Green Egg takes place in Monterrey, Mexico by the company Daltile. www.biggreenegg.com |

 Vancouver, Washington, April, 2012 — Choffy is brewed chocolate. It’s 100% premium cacão (cocoa) beans, and the makers tell us that it’s roasted and ground for a rich, full flavored drink that delights your senses while nourishing your body.
Richer and more robust than hot chocolate, it brews just like coffee. But unlike coffee, it supplies you with long-lasting energy without the crash or other negative effects of caffeine.
Not only does Choffy taste good, it’s really good for you. It contains no sugar, gluten, dairy, or chemicals; in fact, all it contains is premium cacão and the naturally occurring, good-for-you properties of the cocoa bean. A brewed 8 oz. cup of Choffy has a very high ORAC (Oxygen radical absorbance capacity) rating. www.drinkchoffy.com |
