She started making hot sauce in her home kitchen to share with her coworkers, and Silly Chilly Hot Sauce was born. She sources peppers from local NJ farmers to make unique, delicious hot sauces that are good for farmers and customers.Why Food is powered by<a href="http://simplecast.com"> Simplecast</a>.
