Te recipient of this gift liked it so much, she ended up draining the whole bottle in less than a week. I hope you can find a way to make it commercially available as a regular product and maintain the same quality standards.
Creator SUNNY BANG on February 27
I apologize to all my Canadian backers for the delay in shipping. Not only the problem with customs but shipping up there twice is costing me twice as much as you backed me for. For example, for all you $20 Canadian backers, it cost me $20 just to ship it to you the first time. Now that those shipments have been returned, it's going to cost $20 more. So please be patient. Money's tight. That's why I got on Kickstarter in the first place. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Creator Jason Lee on February 26
tried it with some collards and fried chicken.
the sauce is great, imo.
Creator Ken Hargreaves on February 22
Any news on shipping to Canada?
Creator Angelo Casa on February 22
So I used this for the first time today on some Nacho's i ordered from a Mexican place... Absolutely Delicious!! no spillage upon opening either.
Creator Angelo Casa on February 19
Thanks sunny! Can't wait to try this stuff! Visually it looks amazing!
Creator SUNNY BANG on February 18
@Angelo, yes, keep it refrigerated and enjoy!
Creator Angelo Casa on February 18
Got mine today! It's in the fridge for the night. After opening I'm assuming it should be kept refrigerated?
Creator SUNNY BANG on February 13
@Ryan Snyder, thank you for your appreciation. That's what I was going for: fruit forward pepper flavor then heat but not so much that you couldn't eat more. Enjoy and thanks for the support!
Creator Ryan Snyder on February 13
Got my bottle on Saturday. No explosion issue, just a tiny burp of gas on opening, though it was plenty cold outside where the mailbox sits. Thank you for the delicious sauce! I've been a hot food freak for decades and this has got to be one of the finest tasting hot sauces I've ever had! The flavor of the peppers really shines through brightly. Yum! How can I get some more?
Creator Jason Lee on February 13
Got it last night.
love the bottle and label.
took your advice, about putting it in the fridge.
Creator William Karavites on February 4
Just got it!
Thanks so much! Can't wait to try it this afternoon with lunch.
Creator William Karavites on January 29
No problem. Any crazy ideas for recipes using this sauce?
Creator SUNNY BANG on January 28
I am shipping packages everyday. I believe the first shipments have just been received. If you haven't received yours yet, it should be there by this week...next week at the latest. Thank you for your patience. Really, it won't be long now.
Creator William Karavites on January 28
Any idea on when the shipments might start arriving?
Creator SUNNY BANG on November 19, 2012
Can't, won't and you don't stop!!!
Creator Martin Nguyen on November 19, 2012
Just got a survey for shipping address. I take this as production is going along smoothly, very excited!!
On a side note, how is everything out there after the storm? Hope your restaurant is ok!
Creator William Karavites on October 11, 2012
How did the restaurant opening go?
Creator Ian McDonald on October 3, 2012
Is this still on track to ship in December?
Creator SUNNY BANG on September 20, 2012
Thanks, Silla! Your support means a lot!
Creator silla on September 19, 2012
My family and I were fortunate enough to get a test batch of the sauce last week. Since then we've managed to put it on just about everything we eat! The flavor is SO vibrant and so good but it's the zing and the spice that gives it that crack-like addictive quality. Try it on your eggs, your burgers, your lasagna because we did and we LOVED it! Thank you Sunny, we can't wait to see where this take you!
Creator Bobby Bang on September 14, 2012
Proud of you bro, w/ or w/o the hot sauce. :)
Creator Morgan Wilbur on September 7, 2012
Congrats Sunny!
Creator SUNNY BANG on September 5, 2012
Thanks, Sonja! Of my two personal goals of opening my own restaurant in NYC and starting up my own probiotic hot sauce company, this one seemed more doable (and much cheaper). Maybe if this takes off, I'll back my own restaurant. Thanks for the support!
Creator sonja thomson on September 5, 2012
This is awesome Sunny! I can't wait to share some with my bro. Right up his alley. Really inspiring to see you go for your dream like this!
Creator Lance Michelson on September 2, 2012
Dopest label EVER! Don't change nuttin' home boy, looks great as it is, I want to buy some T-Shirts right now with that label printed on it! peace.
Creator Tuco Valenzuela on August 28, 2012
Hmm, you are putting it in whiskey bottles, aging it in whiskey barrels...and using a label highly reminiscent of a very well known whiskey brand.
Gosh, I really hope you don't get in trouble before you even get started here. I am 100% a backer and love your idea and your ingredients and passion, but why potentially get yourself in trouble over your label?
Creator SUNNY BANG on August 27, 2012
Both my graphic designer and I being from Texas, I think we were subconsciously influenced by the rodeo belt buckles we'd see worn by the "kickers" (urban cowboys) as we were growing up (and still do to this day because the more things change, the more they stay the same). You know the ones with their names branded on the back of the leather belts. No? At least, that's what it reminds me of.
Creator Kihun Shin on August 27, 2012
I love the logo b/c it screams "Brooklyn!!!" I suppose it's similar to the Jack Daniels lable in a way b/c of the old school Industrial Revolution look and the colors but it never crossed my mind until I saw Tuco's comment (and to be fair, the book cover in question was pretty much a copy of the JD label with words swapped out). Sunny, can't wait to try the sauce and I hope you go really far with this!! I'm already salivating!
Creator Peter Amos on August 17, 2012
I work with Chef Sunny so I get to interface with him on a daily basis and can say first-hand that he is EXTREMELY passionate about every aspect of this project, from the flavor of the sauce to the bottles to the sustainability. He's committing his best efforts to the product, and I'm confident he will deliver an exceptional end result, which is why I backed him!
Speaking of the end result, I also had the opportunity to taste a test batch of the sauce. It is AMAZING! The first thing I noticed upon opening the bottle is how fresh the sauce smells. You can distinctly smell the pepper, which isn't true for most hot sauces today. The texture I would liken to that of Sriracha, but that would be an insulting comparison, because the flavor explodes! It also has just the right amount of heat, not so much that you're lunging for a glass of water but enough to satisfy those who enjoy a decent level of spicy.
I'm no hot sauce connoisseur, but I wanted to give you all who haven't had the opportunity to try the sauce at least some idea of what it's like so you know what you're getting your hands on. Personally, I'm satisfied with my donation, and am even more pleased after tasting the sauce. Can't wait for my bottles to show up, and to see it in stores sometime in the near future. Let's get the man his money!
Creator SUNNY BANG on August 15, 2012
As with many great concertos and sonatas, it's a variation on a theme. Fermented sour mash and freshly burned oak barrels are what give bourbon its distinctive flavor and color. I am using recycled whiskey barrels from Brad Estabrooke at the Breuckelen Distillery in Red Hook (who only uses local grains to make his tasty whiskey and gin) to ferment my peppers in. (I feel it lends a hint of smoke and oak sweetness to the hot sauce.) Therefore in keeping with the theme, I use the glass whiskey flask to bottle in and the Old West-style label, which we specifically designed so it didn't look like the Jack Daniel's label. Variation on a theme. Thanks for your feedback and support!
Creator Tuco Valenzuela on August 15, 2012
I'm not a fan of the actual label, it's too Jack Daniel's style for me. But everything else looks fabulous and I wish you luck!

P.S. I think you actually might attract more backers if the label was different.
