You know you're special when.....

How do you know you have a special product? When people actually take the time to write and let you know! Not that we at Oasis Seasoning are trying to be boastful, but we do want you to know what other people have said about our products.

“If we could have only one spice in our cupboard, Oasis Seasoning would be the one. Our granddaughter loves it in sour cream as a dip. We use it on all meats, stir-fried veggies, and scrambled eggs - to name only a few of the many possibilities.”
Bill and Jan Norris

“This is the best seasoning that we have ever used. We have used it for 2 years. We serve rib eye steaks every Saturday night at The Elks Lodge. In 2005 we served 2,500 steaks, and the only seasoning we used on them was Oasis Seasoning.”
Dennis Bauer, Elks Lodge #1790 Exalted Ruler for the Year of 2005, Ainsworth, NE

“When my husband purchased a bottle of this seasoning, I wasn’t too happy with him. I had every type of seasoning in my cupboard that you could dream of or imagine. But then I tried it and I use it on everything. It sits right on the table. It’s almost gone. I just purchased 5 pounds of it. It is the best seasoning I have ever tasted. A person can also get it salt free or original, but I like the original.”
Cindy Stewart, Cody, NE

“We have used Oasis Seasoning on several occasions and feel that it is very good.”
Peggy D. McConnell

“We use Oasis Seasoning exclusively. We have used it on hamburgers all kinds of steaks, pork chops, Ramen Noodles and chili soup. The Oasis Seasoning brings out the best flavor possible while tenderizing and sealing in the natural juices of the meat. I recommend it to anyone who likes to do any type of cooking or grilling, to try this seasoning.”

“I use Oasis Seasoning on all kinds of foods from steaks to fries and baked potatoes. I also use it to season my flour when frying fish or chicken. It’s really a great seasoning that I use all the time.” M.D. Beatrice, NE

“I am writing to let you all know that I have a secret weapon for you to use. My wife and I bought The Cow Palace Inn, located in Lamar, Colorado, in 2011, with the full intent of having the best steakhouse in southeastern Colorado. What we quickly learned is that you can spend all the money you want to buy the best best beef, however, if you do not spice it up correctly, you cannot bring out the best flavor of the beef. We came to know Tom...who we affectionately call 'Uncle Tom' because he cared for our success just as any family me member would. As a result, The Cow Palace Inn earned the award for Best Ribeye Steak in Southeast Colorado. We use the spice mix on every beef dish we serve and always hear one of two things... 'Outstanding flavor,' and, 'Do you sell your seasoning?' We are pleased to recommend 'Uncle Tom' and his spices. Great flavors, great choices, and great people.”
Best Wishes,

Award Winning Chef!!! Award Winning Recipe!

Dick Albrecht wins Burger Builder Contest

W. Richard (Dick) Albrecht was first place winner and the recipient of a $1,000 check in the Build a Burger Contest sponsored by the Nebraska Beef Council for the one hundredth anniversary of the hamburger. Albrecht was the winner of the local build a burger contest sponsored by the Ainsworth Area Chamber of Commerce at the Elks Lodge during the “Middle of Nowhere” Days. He built his burger using all items that could be found at the local grocery stores.

On August 28 he competed again using the same type of ingredients to build a burger at the semi-final contest at the State Fair. There he was named as one of the three state finalists. The final competition was held September 25, at the Qwest Convention Center in Omaha as part of the 2004 River City Round Up. The burgers were judged by three judges who were all professionals in the food industry business and education levels. Judges comments included “A great revision of the ‘old burger;’”  “burger has tremendous flavor;” “all items are coming into a wonderful medley that floods the senses;” “very good, like the seasoning.”

In a interview that took place during preparation of the burger, Albrecht was interviewed by Ann Marie Bosshamer, Director of Marketing, of the Nebraska Beef Council. He named his burger the Sand Hills Discovery Burger. He told the group that he wished to help promote the cattle industry of the Sand Hills where some of the best beef is found. He named each of his ingredients used on the burger and one of the ingredients was by a local seasoning made by Tom and Doris Owens from Sparks, NE called the Oasis Seasoning. After tasting the burger members of the crowd wanted to know where they could buy this seasoning and where was Sparks located? Albrecht also stopped in O’Neill and bought some tomatoes from a new hydroponic green house business there. He wanted to showcase some of the special products that come from the Sand Hills area of Nebraska.

Winning 2nd at the contest was Vicki Donoghue of David City, and 3rd was Doug Lipinski of Fremont. Several members of the Albrecht family from the Emerson area were there to support “Uncle Dick” and even designed and wore a special T-shirt for the occasion. His parents, Walter and Violet Albrecht, of the rural Emerson community and who have been in the beef production business for over 62 years were asked to stand and be recognized.
