I’m not the world’s best cook, by a long stretch. I’d say I’m slightly above average, with the exception of one area, where I, humbly, really do excel: flavor.
Since I first became interested in cooking, I’ve had a knack for making things taste good. I can just see it, in my mind, what a dish is missing and how to make it pop a little. My spice drawer has always been my playground, and I’ve loved coming up with my own blends for the better part of two decades now.
But over the past couple of years, it’s taken on something different for me. My wife and daughters have had various health issues, leading to restricted diets and a lot of sadness for them for the things they’ve had to give up. That’s really hard, especially for a kid, to be told that something you enjoy so much is actually making you sick. And even though I haven’t had the same intolerances, it’s been my mission to make them feel like they aren’t missing out on anything.

Two years ago, on top of all of the other restrictions you’d expect (gluten, dairy, grain, soy, pork, egg), we were told to take onions and garlic out of the mix, and that one really hurt. How on earth?? Onions and/or garlic are in everything and add so much flavor! What do you even eat at that point? But after a couple of days of bland food and sad faces, I knew that this couldn’t last. I had to find some way of getting more flavor out of every bite.
That’s why I made Overachiever, our flagship spice blend from Hey Old Sport (a cheeky parent company we’ve established to celebrate good taste). When used in place of salt and pepper, it makes foods taste like the best version of themselves. It wakes up all the nuanced flavors in meats, fish, vegetables, and starches — without any onion or garlic. And even though we no longer have to avoid garlic and onion, I still use this seasoning every day as my base, and add more spices to it if I’m in the mood (but usually there’s no need!).
Overachiever is gluten-free, organic, vegan, low FODMAP friendly and Whole30-compliant, and I’m so excited to share it with all of you! If you’re looking for a little more punch to your meals, give it a try! I really think you’ll love it.

Hello! I’m wondering if there is cumin or chili powder in this?
Thanks!!

I don’t see a link to purchase the seasoning.
