DTLA Appetite: Advetorial: Judge Casey’s Ketchup by Keri Freeman
<<< Little Bear Cherishing DOWNTOWN's GREATEST GIFT Since 2012, Little Bear has cherished the diversity and beauty of Downtown's greatest gift, a community of creative, industrious, no-BS, hardworking/ play-harder people with great energy to be around. When on the hunt for the tastiest Burgers in existence, set your traps for The Classic Little Bear Burger, a hot juicy mess for all to sink their paws into. It's made with two 4oz beef patties pressed thinly, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, caramelized onion, and Andalouse sauce (a Belgian specialty) on a toasted bun. This burger is simple, delicious, and satisfying and there's also a vegan version available with a vegan Andalouse sauce. Come for the burgers, Mitraillette and Brussel's sprouts and stay for the star dessert, the stroopwafel s'more: Two Belgian stroopwafels (translation: syrup waffles) layered with sweet toasted marshmallows, melted chocolate, and toasted almonds. Behind the thin red doors that mark Little Bear's entrance is the embodiment DTLAs "Artist in Residence" or "AIR" movement of the 80s, which allowed residential use of formerly industrial buildings once left abandoned by the post-industrial era. Little Bear is one great big neighborhood "Cheers" to the artists that once surrounded the area and a great place to enjoy a great burger alongside foamy glass mugs of imported Belgian craft beers filled to the brim. Proost!
JUDGE CASEY'S ketchup coming soon TO DTLA
“The best known and most popular Irishman on the Pacific Coast” – Oakland Tribune 1909
potatoes, hotdogs and hamburger lover to a life long sentence of extreme culinary pleasure.
In 1873, Jeremiah Casey emigrated from Ireland to the California Bay area, worked hard and became a respected judge on the Californian frontier.
Right now, you can find Judge online or in retail stores in the Bay Area, but this year, Judge Casey's will be coming to stores in DTLA and soon, Judge Casey's will offer two new flavors Our Curry Twist and Feisty Habanero!! But wait, there’s more.
Over the years, passed down from generation to generation, Jeremiah's accomplishments elevated him to family legend. His great nephew, Peadar and best friend Stephen have now replicated the Judge’s journey to California and are keeping his spirit alive with his traditional Irish ketchup! In 2010, the company, named in honor of Judge Jeremiah Casey, hit the bustling town of Port Costa, California and became the rage with simple ingredients like exquisite tomatoes and finely chopped onions, spiked with zesty vinegar, sweetened with select raisins. Unlike mainstream ketchups, the Judge is thick, chunky and really packed with flavor. Now that we’ve established Judge Casey’s isn’t your usual ketchup we’re going to go out on a limb to state it’s highly likely the Judge is going to sentence the usual French fries, sweet
For cocktails at home, Judge Casey's will have a new Bloody Mary recipe in time for our annual St. Patrick's fluthering. This year, DTLA will be mixing Judge Casey’s gourmet ketchup, other classic ingredients and Mad March Hare Poitin, one of the very best Irish Poitins available. Irish Poitín is a spirit that predates anything you’ve ever likely to have tasted, including whiskey and it’s origins of Irish Poitín are shrouded in mystery. Yes, the case is closed when it comes to Judge Casey's Ketchup and the verdict is in. So, if you ever see a judge and he's looking at you with one eye-brow lifted like Judge Casey on the bottle, you better have a darn good alibi for topping your burgers with an thing less savory than Judege Casey's Irish Ketchup. @judgecaseys
