Amid chatter about banjos and bluegrass, Duncan discusses his use of premium vinegars and local family farm-grown peppers. He reveals his process of creating small-batch, single-pot hot sauces that could light up any meal—and maybe even Drake's next hit song. From discussing vinegar's bite to reminiscing about grandma's pepper sauce, this episode is a symphony of humor, heat, and heartfelt craft. Get ready to dance to the beat of hot sauce!
