216 - Black Eyed Susan Spice Co.

How does an independent, small-batch spice company from Maryland break into the biggest hot sauce stage on the planet? In this episode of the Fire & Flavor Podcast, we sit down with one of the founders of Black Eyed Susan Spice Co. to find out exactly how they cracked the Hot Ones lineup for both Season 24 (with Red Flag) and Season 30 (with Chickpotle). We pull back the curtain on their "flavor first, no gimmicks" philosophy, look at how they balance intense creativity with brutal heat, and dig into what it takes to scale a brand while keeping it completely handmade. Plus, we do a live tasting of their extreme, 11+/10 heat monster: Edward Peach. If you are a hot sauce fanatic, an aspiring maker, or a fan of the show, this behind-the-scenes masterclass is for you.
