Join us for an episode that celebrates the bold, flavorful world of hot sauce, honoring heritage, craftsmanship, and the satisfying thrill of a slow burn.

🌶️ Meet Tony Nunez of Fantastic Fuego, a salsa creator whose passion for unique, flavor-packed salsas is inspired by his Mexican heritage and family traditions. Get a behind-the-scenes look as Tony preps for the Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival, and join us as we catch up with him at his booth on festival day.

🌶️ Next, we head over to the Hill Country Hot Peppers booth, where former scientist Ron Tilton shares his journey from the lab to a family-run farm in Wimberley, TX. Blending scientific precision with a deep love for peppers, Ron has mastered the art of growing and fermenting, crafting hot sauces and products that capture the complexity and essence of each pepper.
