Saucy Sweet and Sizzlin’

At Franklin.TV we try to say ‘Yes’ to whatever idea comes through our front door. Our minds are ‘open for business’, open for – whatever. It’s how most of our TV programs take shape. Hot Sauce? Umm – yeah (?) Okaaay. We can – do that – (I think). We’re up for anything fun.
Bo Kinney needed a large open kitchen to prepare and bottle Iggy’s Spice of Life Hot Sauce to raise money for a charity; NEPRO, The New England Pug Rescue organization. Yes, Pugs! Pugs may be relatively small in doggy stature but they are very big on energy, on social engagement and unbridled enthusiasm. Like us, pugs have a big ‘Yes’ for – whatever.
They’re up for anything fun.
NEPRO has an annual gathering and fund raiser. Bo’s (and Iggy’s) plan is to sell bottles of his sweet hot sauce at the event. So – bottle, we must. Bo and I cranked up a two-person production line and went to work. In a matter of hours we prepared and pumped enough of Iggy’s hot sauce to fill one- hundred-forty bottles (at 5 ozs per).
Bo and Iggy had been planning this for the better part of a year. It’s a lot of work – researching and sourcing just the right bottles, designing the labels, gathering all the ingredients, and so on.
All we needed to do was take care of the tail end (so to speak).
Iggy’s - it’s a sweet-heat spicy sauce from a perky
pug pup that puts the pep in your ‘get up-n- go.’
And – as always –
