With encouragement from his wife Lisa and their four boys, he traded his jersey for an apron, fueled by a new passion for bringing his favorite flavors to the world.
Ed's Mustard Masterpieces:
Ed’s first creation was his “go-to” favorite spicy brown mustard, a nod to the flavors that adorned his childhood meals. He remembered the days when turkey, chicken, and ham sandwiches were the cornerstone of his lunchtime rituals, and pretzels were his trusty companions. Weekends at ballparks and football tailgates brought the sizzle of hotdogs, the savor of hamburgers, and the zest of brats, all adorned with golden brown goodness.
