On Monday, it became official: Matt Carpenter’s salsa will go from a secret, homemade recipe from Adam Wainwright’s magic garden to a full-blown commercial product. Matt Carpenter’s Bueno Mojo Salsa will be available tomorrow at St. Louis area Schnucks.
I’ve already made arrangements for a friend’s mother to ship some to Des Moines for me, and I’m curious to see how it stacks up to what I deduced the recipe might be.
But it’s also got me thinking about the long line of businesses and side hustles from Cardinals players over the years, and I don’t know anyone that weaved such a rich entrepreneurial tapestry as Lou Brock.
