How a Homemade Chili Crisp Recipe Turned into a Profitable Las Vegas Business | Ep 311

from Hey BigHead: The Vegas Local Podcast · host Andrew Figurelli

In this episode of Hey BigHead: The Vegas Local Podcast, we sit down with Scott and Maria from Oil Baron, a Las Vegas chili crisp company, to talk about how the brand started, how they built it from scratch, and what it takes to grow a local food business in Las Vegas. They break down how a homemade recipe turned into a real business, the process of scaling production, selling at Las Vegas farmers markets, working through health district rules, and why relationships have been one of the biggest keys to growing the brand.  We also talk about what makes Oil Baron different from other chili oils and chili crisps, how they describe the spice level, what goes into making it, and where you can buy it right now online and in person in Las Vegas.  This episode is part founder story, part food interview, and part Vegas local business spotlight.Check out more episodes on HeyBigHead.com and follow us on all the socials @heybigheadshow
