In this sizzling episode of the North Carolina Food and Beverage Podcast, hosts Max Trujillo and Matthew Weiss spice things up with Duncan Blount, the owner of Shelby Spice from Shelby, NC. As they chew the fat (and some hot sauce), Duncan shares his rockstar passion for crafting premium hot sauces, comparing them to aged bourbon and fine wine. Amid chatter about banjos and bluegrass, Duncan discusses his use of premium vinegars and local family farm-grown peppers. He reveals his process of creating small-batch, single-pot hot sauces that could light up any meal—and maybe even Drake's next hit song. From discussing vinegar’s bite to reminiscing about grandma’s pepper sauce, this episode is a symphony of humor, heat, and heartfelt craft. Get ready to dance to the beat of hot sauce!
