Announced 12/30/13, Lucky Dog Hot Sauce won 7 awards, including the "THE HOT PEPPER AWARD (#1 Overall)" for hot sauce!
Not bad considering I entered sauces into 7 categories? I didn't have Purple Label or Pink label out in time, but Black Label got some serious love, and I'm beyond happy to report that the Red Label won the 1st place overall hot sauce award!!! As many of you know, when I was a hobbyist, Red Label was my baby - I worked on that sauce for years to make what I considered a great every day, use on anything sauce. Fresh & roasted garlic with sweetness from carrots and a very even blend of roasted jalapenos, serranos and habanero chiles give the sauce a sriracha-style sweet-heat with some unique flavor profiles.
1st bottle of Red Label off the production line!
