The Wild Thing Salsa Story
In 2006, retired Philadelphia Phillies Ace Relief Pitcher and self-proclaimed “really good cook” Mitch Williams was embracing a post-baseball career passion for cooking and making Salsa “the way it is supposed to be.” Having lived in Texas for over 20 years, Mitch was always frustrated with what he called the “cheap knock-offs” available a local food stores. Using a blender, the freshest ingredients collected from his friends around the country, and good ole’ fashion Texas know-how, Mitch began quietly making salsa in his kitchen.

“I can’t stand chunky salsa”, Mitch proclaims. “So I started experimenting with different blending techniques and ingredient mixtures until I came up with what I feel is the perfect flavor and consistency for an authentic Texas-Style salsa.” Apparently other people agreed, because once word got out, Mitch was invited to do a cooking show, and less than a year later ‘Wild Thing Southpaw Salsa’ was introduced to the world.

Wild Thing Salsa is manufactured at San Antonio Farms in San Antonio, Texas under Mitch’s watchful eye and exacting specifications – with packaging and distribution being handled by Mitch’s good friends at Herr Foods, Inc. and Sysco Food Services. “Without Herr’s and Sysco none of this would’ve been possible. All I did was make some tasty Salsa in my kitchen; these are really top-drawer companies run by amazing people. It’s my pleasure to be able to work with them.” Wild Thing Salsa is already being served at sporting venues in the Northeast including Citizen’s Bank Park, and will be showing up in stores by Summer 2008.
