A.1. STEAK SAUCE
Life is too short to live with A.2. A.1. For life
There are those who settle. Who compromise. Who constantly wonder what it would be to do bold things. Like ask for steak sauce in a fancy restaurant, or scuba dive. You are not those
people. You ’re not even a group of people. You’ re one spectacular person. You sir, or madam, have always understood what it means to live A.1. To live with gusto. To
sauce the shrimp of live. To live with sizzle and tangy goodness. You were the one. Who carried a bottle of sauce in your briefcase ‘just in case’. You were
the one who experimented with us on eggs and hamburgers. And you were the one who staged a revolt in a crowded restaurant, just because they didn’t carry your beloved sauce.
You have always been true to your passion. You like what you like. And we love you for it. So go on. Keep living an A.1, life. Keep pursuing your dreams, and later, eating them. We ’ll
be here. At the ready, waiting for you to screw the cap off your ever-loving awesomeness. There are other saucing pioneers just like you at facebook.comaisteaksauce. Join them to
share stories secrets with the only people on the Earth who truly understand you.
