A family-led business
Like many great stories, ours begins with a father and son making hot sauce together at home. Look it up—all the best stories begin with hot sauce. Now, we've upgraded to an AHS-approved commercial kitchen, and we've grown into a successful family business with a wonderful and supportive community of friends, family, and fans across Central Alberta and beyond.
With over 20 years of culinary experience, my passion for food, its origins, and flavor profiles runs deep. Cooking isn't just my profession—it's a family affair! My three kids are my sous-chefs, learning the ropes and creating memories. My son, who started helping out in kindergarten, is now a teenager, and we still enjoy whipping up delicious sauces together.
Join us on this flavourful journey and taste the love in every bite!
Inspired by a show we love to watch together, I thought it would be fun to order some hot sauce online. But my son had an even better idea—why not make it ourselves? He was absolutely right, and our homemade hot sauce journey began!
Our very first creation was a buffalo-style mild sauce, and it was a hit with my wife and kids. We shared it with friends and family, who loved it so much they wanted to buy some. That's when we realized we were onto something special. I told my son about the rave reviews, and we decided to make another batch. From those humble beginnings, our small family business was born.
With our artisan handmade hot sauces, quality and ingredients are our top priorities. You'll find they are bursting with flavor and far from your typical hot sauce. They're versatile too—perfect for more than just chicken wings! Try them with charcuterie, desserts, or even add a splash of our Spicy Dill Pickle sauce to your Caesars!
