After this Saturday it will be "Check the E.R.!" cuz we're bringing the heat yet again to the nations capital!

We are back yet again for the "6th Annual Heating Up The Capital" hot sauce expo just outside of Ottawa, at Smokey Ridge Vineyard, as presented by .

This event holds a special place in our hearts as we won King Of Sauces back in 2021 with our Honey Garlic, and that was followed up with many first, second and third place showings since then over the last several years.

Did we win any new awards this year?! Well you will have to show up Saturday to find out!

The event runs 10am until 5ish this Saturday, and there you can sample from 30+ hot sauce companies, try jalepeno beer, jump into a spicy challenge or two, or just soak in the sun as it's going to be a gorgeous day!

Smokie Ridge Vineyard is located at 10090 Cameron Road, in Mountain, Ontario.

Hope to see you there!

These sauces are heading down to Palm Coast, Florida, and into the hands of our new friend Richard Bryson of Swindle Sauce.

Been seeing his stuff pop up all over the place, winning a ton of awards and kicking ass down in the U.S..

His sauces look amazing so we had to get in contact with him and do a swap. And thankfully the feeling was mutual!

Thanks Rich, very much looking forward to trying out your stuff!

Now that we're back home and rested, time to thank a bunch of people for what was an unbelievable experience this past weekend in Nicolet, Quebec for the 2026 Festifeu, hot sauce expo.

Firstly, thank you to organizer Jasmin Hamel .de.feu (first slide) and his team for inviting me to Festifeu and putting on one helluva show. I was completely blown away by the organization and ex*****on of what is probably the biggest hot sauce festival in Canada. It's been a festival I've always wanted to experience and I cannot thank him enough for personally inviting me to take part, with a specific request to come and be handed "Grand Champion du Canada" after having won their inaugural Canadian Hot Sauce Awards. The onslaught of customers waiting for me at my booth after the announcement is something I will never forget.

Thank you to all the customers who were patient with me and allowed me to make a few mistakes as I took you through my sauces and my very limited French! I was told my French was very good many times, and that certainly helped my confidence as the weekend went on. Merci beaucoup!

And on that note, an extra special thanks for Guillermo Pi Lajes (second slide) for volunteering to be my personal translator and second wing during the busiest time of the weekend on Saturday. Without his help I could not have survived that wave of customers wanting to sample and buy our products. He was a rock star to the enth degree and I cannot thank him enough.

And finally, a thank you to all the staff and volunteers who welcomed me with open arms and continuously told me they were honoured that I took the time to make the trip and attend the festival. Believe me, the honour was all mine. You were all so amazing, I cannot wait to see you all again next year.

And on that note, my first ever Festifeu is in the books. To those that have not attended...all I can say is you need to experience this event. It's almost impossible to put into words. The closest I can get is "it was incredible".

Au revoir Nicolet, until we see each other again!

This sauce truly is the gift that keeps on giving!

We are incredibly proud and excited to announce that our Honey Garlic Hot Sauce has been awarded Top Honours in the inaugural Canadian Hot Sauce Awards. 🥇

The awards were hosted by Jasmin Hamel and his team at Frères de Feu and announced this past weekend at the 2026 Festifeu Sauce Piquantes/Hot Sauce Festival FESTIFEU in Nicolet, Quebec.

This was a true cross-Canada competition, with companies from every province invited to submit their sauces for evaluation by a select panel of judges. Among them was Sandra Plourde Sandra Plourde, best known as the first winner of MasterChef Québec, along with a number of talented chefs and restaurant owners from the region.

With 170+ sauces submitted from across Canada, we are absolutely thrilled, humbled, and honoured to have been chosen as number one and given the recognition as "Grand Champion du Canada".

A huge thank you to Jasmin Hamel and the entire judging panel for tasting our sauce and deeming it worthy of this incredible honour. We truly cannot thank you enough for the opportunity to participate in such an amazing event. One that is sure to grow for many years to come.

And extra special thanks to all those that swarmed our booth looking to snag a bottle or two, or six as some had done upon hearing that we had won!

We are beyond proud to bring this recognition home, and we’re already looking forward to coming back and competing again next year!
