Overview

Hi! I’m Michele Bernard of Bernard’s Gourmet Foods. We make Gourmet Roasted Salsas. When I say “We,” I mean, my husband David makes Gourmet Roasted Salsas. As a writer, I enjoy telling his story. Together, our favorite thing to do is to share our table, our time and our talents to nourish others. David’s salsa-making days started over 25 years ago. After a visit to our Great State Fair of Texas, he came home with a hand-crank food processor, just perfect for whipping up fresh break-time salsa snacks for himself. Working in the Power Industry, his downtime “therapy” became gourmet cooking. Before long, he developed a whole line of yummy roasted salsa offerings he liked to use to elevate the dishes he created. These gourmet salsas were a big hit with our family and friends, who more often than not, received a jar of something yummy each holiday season. In 2016, we began selling his delicious creations at our local Farmers Market, the McKinney Farmers Market at Chestnut Square in McKinney, Texas. We look forward to beginning our 3rd season soon! Visitors to McKinney can find our salsa at McKinney Wine Merchant, or at Loco Cowpoke Salsa Shop, both located in historic downtown McKinney. In 2018, we entered H-E-B’s Quest For Texas Best contest. We are thrilled to say we made it all the way to the finals, and are proud members of the 2018 Quest For Texas Best Class! In January 2019, our products hit the shelves as a Primo Pick in 196 H-E-B stores in 91 cities across the State of Texas! As you can imagine, the past couple of years have been a whirlwind and we are having a blast! We invite you to join us on this journey as we make our way around the state that we love. We’ll be visiting our new H-E-B friends who treat us like family, meeting new friends along the way. Be sure to come by, say hi and taste some yummy salsa! Till then, feel free to help yourself and grab a jar today!
