About The Maker
Like many magical inventions, Boulder Hot Sauce was born from a necessity. In 1996 I was living on what was previously a commune in Northeast Boulder. I created a garden plot on what was to be my best garden ever. Digging clay soil, amending, and watering I planted 6 pepper plants and LOTS of vegetables. In late July, ravenous grasshoppers decimated every plant on my plot. The peppers were spared (too spicy or just dumb luck?).
Two years later and a lot of kitchen time under my belt, I quit my job, cashed in all my savings and began to navigate my way through the world of product manufacturing. I managed to find a team and worked tirelessly to fight for my dream of making the same product so long ago created in my home kitchen. They told me add this, add that, stretch the product yield with xanthan gum, etc. I said NO!
