Hellraising Hot Sauce at Heat Up Your Life
In October we had the opportunity to participate in Heat Up Your Life. This was the first year for the event, also the first time we had a booth for our product. We didn’t know what to expect, but it was a great day! About 12 local food producers took part; from hot sauce to barbeque sauce to sauerkraut to salsa to gourmet candies. Sampling everyone’s goods was a real treat, literally and figuratively.
The event took place in the parking lot of Bent Brewstillery — they were awesome hosts. We worked with the owner/creator of Nuclear Nectar to secure our spot in the lineup, and we shared a space with John from Artisan Minnesota. To go along with the “Heat Up Your Life” theme, Bent was pouring a special Ghost Pepper Stout that day.
It was the perfect fall day to drink some beer and enjoy the concoctions of our fellow local food creators. A few we knew from our own commercial kitchen (John, also Tony and Leslie from Isabel Street Heat), or just through word about town, but a lot of these folks we’d never heard of and it was a pleasure to meet them. It was great to connect and see what other delicious ideas are out there, and so close to home.
We’re looking forward to Heat Up Your Life returning for a second year (and third, and fourth, and fifth). Many thanks, Bent Brewstillery and Nuclear Nectar!
