Vote on what we should do with Bimbo's sauces

Posted by Marce Edwards @ 09:29:40 am

C.R. Roberts wrote a story today trying to figure out what to do with the set of pasta sauces that the city has hidden in a vault.

We want to know what you think. Vote on how the community will get a taste of this piece of Tacoma history. Should they be served at downtown Tacoma's convention center or inscribed on public art in Tollefson Plaza?

We'll post the results later this month.

I grew up on Bimbos, a family staple for 3 generations, and I really hope the recipe for this classic sauce does not end up in the hands of some corporate bottler that will never reproduce the true flavor of the original restaraunt version. Please don't vote for that! It's a terrible idea! The recipe needs to somehow be released in it's purest form to the general public, so Bimbo's lovers can cook it ourselves and uncover the secrets that makes it so delicious. Perhaps an art piece like a giant pot with the recipe engraved is a pretty good idea. It should be memorialized!
