When people think about Vermont (especially at this time of year), most conjure images of snow, skiing, and other cold-weather activities.
Who would have known that the Green Mountain State is also home to one of the best homemade hot sauces around?
But that might be expected from a company called Greene’s (with a final “e”) Gourmet!
As founder Chris Greene was raised on a Texas cattle ranch, his fascination with hot peppers may be more understandable (especially when you find out that his mother used Tabasco instead of soap to cure him of cursing). Still, it may be hard to see how he was able to bring that southern heat all the way to the mountains of Vermont. But forget seeing- the secret to Greene’s Gourmet is in the taste!
Woooowie!
Made without capsaicin extract, dyes, or anything fake, Greene’s sauces bring real southern heat to any dish and reveal his authentic upbringing and dedication to his favorite flavors, among which are the rich and garlicky Smokey Red, the gingery Dragon’s Fire, the appropriately intense Atomic Habanero and (also appropriately) a green sauce called Very Verde (“verde” being Spanish for “green”) that lowers the temperature but not the flavor.
If you want to get the full Greene experience, order a Firehouse Five and get 5 bottles for just $5 each!
After a day on the slopes or just at the office, it can be a good idea ro add some spice to your life. So what better way to do it than with the handmade, down-home flavors of the self-proclaimed Hot Sauce Guy, Chris Greene?
