What a seriously BORING game!!! I'm wondering why the punters didn't share the MVP!! Personally, I thought Bad Bunny was terrific. Well produced show. Dude is also incredibly talented. I'm a metal head, so I'm not gonna run out and buy his stuff, but I thought it was a great halftime show. Certainly more entertaining than that snooze-fest of a game!!! We can't have Prince perform every year!!!

Here are your the 12 winners for the 5th Annual Chef Heatley's Hot Pepper Farm FREE SB Squares Pool!! Unfortunately, none of the Special Squares won this year. But that's ok. I am still gonna ship out 12 Sample Packs to our winners!! You now have until Friday at noon to message me your address.

Once again, on behalf of my family and incredible staff, I thank you immensely for all the support you've given our small business over the last 5 years. We have come so far in such a short period of time with so much hard work and drive. However, without all of YOU it wouldn't have gone anywhere! Keep loving us and I'll keep delivering you the most flavorful hot sauces ever.

Congrats winners!!

Love, Chef
