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.
