About TBJ Gourmet
Bruce Kramer came up with a lovely idea for his Philadelphia Eagles tailgate menu: Bacon Jam and Goat Cheese-stuffed Jalapeno Poppers. His creation, particularly the bacon element went over so well that his friends said, “You should sell this Bacon Jam!” Bruce brought his Bacon Jam to Chef Michael Oraschewsky who fell in love with it. Oraschewsky created some new varieties and they started selling online. (August 2013)
After huge online success they started selling travelling around an selling Bacon Jam at festivals all over the East Coast. Soon stores started to pick up the product and Michael went on QVC to introduce spreadable bacon to all of America. (2013-2014)
TBJ Gourmet is now a maker of fine foods that are fun. Bacon Jam is still our core product line but we are always thinking, cooking and tasting in order to create quality foods you did not know you couldn’t live without.
