Manchester, New Hampshire is home to some incredible artisan creators, and this week we are diving deep into the lineup from Retro Burn Hot Sauce. Known for their 70s and 80s throwback aesthetic and commitment to small-batch quality, the makers sit down with Fire and Flavor to talk about their culinary philosophy, local roots, and how they balance intense heat with complex flavor profiles.

Instead of chasing extreme shock value, this interview focuses entirely on the craft. We put three of their standout creations to the test, exploring how unique ingredients come together to create a true flavor bomb.
