Possible Trader Joe’s Hot Relish Substitute?
More than one reader has lamented about the discontinuation of Trader Joe’s Hot Bell Pepper Relish. One dear reader has found what he thinks is a substitute at his local Cost Plus…in fact, he thinks it’s the exact same thing.
Since Trader Joe’s private labels much of their inventory, perhaps this is true. Can anyone else confirm this?
“I am one of many people missing the hot relish.
My wife discovered “Mezzetta express Deli-style hot bell pepper relish” in Cost Plus in Torrance CA (Los Angeles Area).
If they are not the source of the TJ hot pepper relish I would be amazed.
They also have Mezzetta sweet pepper relish which has exactly the same flavor without the slight hotness.

Ichiban Teriyaki – Good Value for a Downtown Japanese Lunch
Ichiban Teriyaki
5 Stevenson Street (off First, near Market)
415-543-6275
M-F 10:30am – 3:30pm
Come to this nondescript-but-busy space on a side street off First St., and you’ll get big portions of fresh protein for your lunch.
I’ve eaten their Chicken Teriyaki plate ($5.48) which includes 1.5 grilled chicken breasts (I counted) on top of a bed of rice, with some tempura vegetables and your choice of a tiny green salad or steamed vegetables. Bascially it’s your usual square white styrofoam container, with one big entree area, and 2 smaller side order areas.
