Founder of Lola's Fine Hot Sauce Taufeek Shah joins this episode to tell the story of how this generational family recipe transformed into a hot sauce on shelves across the world. Lola is Taufeek's mother, who always had a bottle of delicious homemade hot sauce at the table with every meal. One day in 2015, Taufeek shared a bottle of this special hot sauce with his friends and everyone loved it just as much as his family. They actually loved it so much, they asked if they could buy some. From there, the spark to continue sharing Lola's was born, and Taufeek went from weekends at the local farmer's market to placements in stores all across the country.
