Dawn(R) Works on a Cajun Mess

CINCINNATI, Feb. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Knotty Pine on the Bayou is about 800 miles from Bourbon Street, but this Cold Spring, Ky., eatery is a destination in itself for Cajun cuisine and was booked for Mardi Gras celebrations four months in advance. Attention to detail through delicious family recipes and meticulous cleaning makes the restaurant a go-to place in the Greater Cincinnati area.

"If you can't make it to Bourbon Street, we're the next best thing," said Kathy Caulfield, who owns Knotty Pine on the Bayou with her husband John. "For Mardi Gras, we have great food, employees and customers in costume, live music and a wonderful atmosphere."

One special attribute of the restaurant is that guests are welcomed to peek into the kitchen to talk to John, the restaurant's head chef. But this open door policy is possible because the Knotty Pine has high standards for cleanliness and the Caulfields rely on PGP products to obtain a quality clean in their kitchen.

"It's like a family atmosphere here at the restaurant, and we have a lot of regulars," Kathy Caulfield said. "Guests can look right in to the kitchen when they come in the door and are welcomed to stick their heads in to say hello. So, we're very conscious of how clean our kitchen looks all the time."

To maintain the restaurant's high standards for cleanliness, Knotty Pine on the Bayou depends on a variety of PGP products, including Dawn(R) and Spic and Span(R) Disinfecting All-Purpose Spray & Glass Cleaner.

"We're fanatical about cleanliness here, and we love Dawn because it always works whenever and however we use it -- it's a great product," Kathy Caulfield said. "We hear they have a new Dawn Heavy Duty Floor Cleaner that we can't wait to try."

PGP, the away-from-home division of Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) , is committed to offering complete cleaning and sanitation solutions for restaurants like Knotty Pine on the Bayou.

"We find it exciting restaurants like Knotty Pine on the Bayou value and appreciate products like Dawn," said JF Couture, brand manager for PGP. "By providing our foodservice customers with products they recognize, know and trust, we give them confidence in the quality of their restaurant's cleanliness and help make them comfortable giving customers a peek of what happens in the kitchen."

On Mardi Gras, it's a good time to head down to the bayou, even if it's in Cold Spring, Ky. Knotty Pine on the Bayou takes pride in their tried and true family recipes and their kitchen cleaned with trusted household cleaning products like Dawn to encourage guests to come and get a taste of Bourbon Street all year around.
