I was able to find an article that mentioned how good Raywell's hamburgers were, but no clue as to how they made them. Sorry.

Matt's Arm Lickin Shark Shack Sauce

I've done a search on the internet and have come up empty handed. 
I'm hoping a reader might have personal knowledge.

I purchased a bottle of sauce in PA.  Came to learn later it was from 
a NC fair grounds stand. It appears that neither the bottled sauce or 
the fair ground stand are still around.

If anyone has a recipe, I'd be grateful. 

Thanks, Suzanne 

Hello Suzanne,

The only real information that I can find is this:

"On Monday, February 07, 2000, a U.S. federal trademark registration was filed for MATT'S SHARK SHACK ARM LICKIN'. This trademark is owned by Matt's Shark Shack, Inc., 9512 Center Cress Ct., Raleigh , 27613 ."

The Trademark Registration was filed but never issued because the applicant failed to respond to follow-up.

BBQ Pork Chow Mein

Subject: BBQ Pork Chow Mein

I have done a lot of "digging" on this subject but I still thought maybe you could 
help me. Growing up we always ordered BBQ Pork Chow Mein when we went to Chinese 
food.  We ate at Mi Hung Lo in San Luis Obispo, CA and Bill Fongs Rice Bowl in 
Bakersfield, CA.  I have tried numerous times to closely replicate this dish...to 
no avail.  Something is missing.  I want to make the wet clear version (meat, onions, 
celery, a little dry sherry, a tiny pinch of sugar, water chestnuts, cornstarch and 
broth) and serve it over the old style crunchy noodles (mein gon).  When I make it, 
it's OK but it just doesn't have that old American style chow mein flavor.  Do you 
suppose you could help me figure out what I'm missing?  My 85 year old mother and I 
would sure appreciate it.  No Chinese food of today was as good as that (with fried 
rice, fried prawns dipped in ketchup, egg foo yung, etc...!).
Thanks so much, I love your stuff.  Linda 

Hi Linda,

I wish that I could help, but i was not able to find a recipe that fit your description. Sorry.

Perhaps someone who posts on that forum can help.

Subject: recipe request for sweet potato seasoning

In 1994 until last year Dawson Farms in Delhi Louisiana use to package a 
Gourmet Sweet potato seasoning. Paul Prudhomme sold it with his seasonings 
and just lately the person who made it stopped working there. I would like 
to know if their is a recipe out there similar. Some of the ingredients are 
sugar, salt granulated onions, granulated garlic, yellow mustard seeds, paprika 
and some other spices. This is the only way my kids will eat sweet potatoes.
Robin 

Robin,

I had no success with a recipe. They still have this product on their website. See:
