Palo Alto Firefighters Pepper Sauce

Most firemen do what they’re meant to: put out fire. Palo Alto firefighter Lee Taylor, however, actually fans the flames. Lee started growing peppers in his station backyard in ‘94, and began making hot sauce after one particularly abundant harvest rendered him pepperfull. He initially offered it to just friends and family until his coworkers suggested he sell commercially to help fund the charities he wanted to support. Today, everyone can enjoy Lee’s flavorfully complex sauce that puts the fi-yah in everything from scrambled eggs to ganache.

The best part? All of Lee’s proceeds go to charity, so you get to do good while bringin’ the heat. Burn, baby, burn!
