Today on Fire & Flavor I sit down with Michael and Erica from Jack’s Pepper Heist, one of the most exciting small batch hot sauce brands rising in 2025. Their story starts with Jack, a pepper stealing dog with big personality, and it leads into a deep passion for Latin inspired cooking, clean ingredients, and handcrafted heat.In this episode we take a full look at their brand, their cultural roots, and the creative process behind their sauces. We taste two of their most popular flavors: Tomate de Arbol and Tomatillo Serrano. Both highlight bold Latin flavor, clean ingredients, and a balance of heat that feels handmade and intentional.If you are interested in craft hot sauce, Latin inspired food, small batch makers, or discovering the next big brand in the spicy world, this episode is packed with value. Michael and Erica talk about their heritage, their festival experiences, the community that helped them grow, and the way they stay true to real ingredients without additives or preservatives.IG 📸: jackspepperheistWeb 🌐: https://jackspepperheist.com
