01

Taste everything

Every sauce open, a spoon in your hand, and no pressure to buy the one you did not like.

02

Meet the maker

Steve is behind the table, not in an office. Ask him what is actually in the bottle.

03

Carry it home

Festival pricing on bundles, and the rare runs that never make it to the shop.

And the rest of the year

Festivals, markets and a lot of driving. The full 2026 schedule lands in January; until then, these are the fixtures.

What the burned say

I put Foo Foo Mama Choo on eggs once and now I cannot eat eggs without it.

Tears of the Sun is the only bottle my wife and I fight over. we buy two now.

Priya R.Austin, TX

Hellacious actually tastes like the pepper instead of just burning. That is rare.

Diego S.Chicago, IL

Met Steve at the Expo, bought the case, regret nothing except how fast it went.

Alina K.Brooklyn, NY

Since 2011

Built on real peppers
