The Origin Story
The history of The Hot Sauce Hookup is very new, but the passion and drive for flavor creation has been around a long time for me. I enjoy taking the natural flavors of a food and matching it with other food in new ways to bring out and accentuate each other. I have taken this love for flavor, and I use it to create each and every bottle of my hot sauce!
The Peppers’ Story
It all started in the Spring of 2023. I purchased a few pepper plant seedlings from a local seller, and fell in love with the growing process! It was only natural that I took the pods from those plants and made some delicious hot sauce. Throughout the summer of 2023, I was purchasing newer and different peppers from local Farmers’ Markets in Des Moines to experiment further. Luckily, I was able to lock in a couple handfuls of flavors that will tickle your taste buds!
Since Fall 2023, I have been involved with local pop-up markets in selling my sauces while I perfect my recipes.
Here we are in 2024!
2024 is the official launch year for The Hot Sauce Hookup!
