"PepperNutz" - Business Spotlight

Tommy Falbo, CEO and Founder or "PepperNutz" Hot Sauces, stops into the Hellbound with Halos Studio to heat things up and talk all about his sauces! Back in 2007, Tom started his business as a distributor of other hot sauces, because he loved them. Then, shortly after, he realized he should be making his own. So that, he did. (His wife actually had the idea that he start it). Tom discusses how he's be fortunate enough to be in the local Rochester, NY media to help promote his product, as well as working with the NY culinary school for food pairing ideas and chefs for testing of new flavors. He's received a lot of support from the area in Western NY and he is very appreciative of that. Kevin says that it seems as though people in our area, largely support local companies. Kevin is a bit nervous about taste testing all of the PepperNutz sauces, even though he enjoys spicy foods. He was prepared with milk, however. His biggest concern is the 'Carolina Reaper' sauce, in which that particular pepper boasts a heat level of over 2 million scoville units. Sully doesn't do hot sauces but begins to try the different kinds after he learns of one called 'Rum Runner'. Come listen and learn about this great, small business. Go try some of his sauces and tell him we sent ya! www.peppernutz.com And you can follow him on any social media as well.
