In this episode of The Fire & Flavor Podcast, Matt sits down with the team behind TorchBearer Sauces, the creators of some of the boldest and most beloved hot sauces in the game, including Habanero Evil, Garlic Habanero, Danny Wood’s Guac Sizzle, and Cranberry Jalapeño, along with a couple extra bonus tastings. From humble beginnings at local festivals to becoming a national name, TorchBearer shares their story of flavor-first sauce making, creative branding, and fan-fueled growth.
