About Us

So how did "Slick Rick" come to be?
Once upon a time, a sound engineer named Rick Simons lived on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  It was time to try something different, so he started working as prep cook in a gourmet restaurant.  He worked, he learned, and eventually worked his way up the culinary ladder to Executive Chef. Everyone in the kitchen has a nickname, and Rick's became "Slick Rick."

Rick wanted to offer his talents to a larger number of people instead of simply providing one meal at a time.  He developed his own spice mixes made up of organically produced herbs and spices.  His friends cheered, his fellow cooks nodded approvingly, and "Slick Rick" was on his way to culinary stardom as the originator of a whole new attitude in cooking.

Shake it to Wake it!
Why "Shake it to Wake it"?  Our products are made with the finest organic spices and herbs. Due to the fact that we do not use any preservatives or chemicals to absorb moisture, the product may in fact clump.  That only means that we have done our job.  
So please--"Shake it to Wake it!"

Show Me the Flavor!
Slick Rick's spices are famous for bringing out the flavor of food, not masking it.  Why overpower the tasty attraction of fresh meats, fish and vegetables?  A good cook knows how to accent those flavors to make great tasting dishes.

How to Use the Seasonings?
Now, you can use the product from years of experimentation to make your own foods taste spectacular.  Our only advice; forget the rules and think outside the box!  Black Spice may taste great on your favorite salad, or try the Steak Spice on your favorite fish!  
Whatever you do, have fun and enjoy the seasonings, the food, and the attitude.
