Sidney Page, the creator of Sure Shot Sid’s Gunpowder Seasoning and one of the owners of J M Exotic Foods, has a passion for creating unique seasoning blends.  Way back in 1994, Sid created his most successful seasoning blend and named it Gunpowder Seasoning.  This smokey charcoal flavored blend became wildly successful in the restaurant arena and was the “secret” ingredient to several Steak restaurants in Alabama.  In 1996 sales of the Gunpowder seasoning were so strong, the company decided to introduce Gunpowder seasoning in a smaller retail size bottle, and proudly named it Sure Shot Sid’s Gunpowder Seasoning!

 

As the years rolled on, Gunpowder sales expanded all over the Southeast.  By the year 2002, Gunpowder Seasoning was distributed by 3 grocery warehouses, 7 DSD distributors and 2 Foodservice distributors.   

 

Fast forward to 2018, Sid created 2 new versions of his now famous Gunpowder Seasoning!  Smokey Bacon Gunpowder Seasoning and Roasted Coffee Gunpowder Rub were introduced. 

 

In 2019, we started ‘Sure Shot Sid’s Gives Back’ by providing lunch and samples of our Gunpowder Seasoning to First Responders.  This wonderful event started in our home town, Moody Alabama.  You can see pictures of some of these events on our Facebook page, and other social media.    

 

In 2021, Sid’s vision for Sure Shot Sid’s expanded again with the creation of his Original BBQ Gunpowder Seasoning and Honey BBQ Gunpowder Seasoning! 

 

Currently, we are manufacturing 5 unique flavors of our Gunpowder Seasoning in various sizes.

 

In 2022, we introduced Sure Shot Sids to the world, via various Social Media.  While building our Social Media platforms, we were thrilled to find many of our Gunpowder Fans have already been making videos using our Gunpowder Seasoning!  Random Gunpowder fans are showing their favorite meals on every imaginable Social Media platform, from as far away as Canada and the United Kingdom! 

You can find us on Facebook as Original Sure Shot Sids Seasoning, as well as Instagram, TikTok and Youtube!
