Today I had the opportunity to sit down for an interview with Lisa and Kristi of the Three Hot Tamales. In addition to being one of the hottest up and coming fiery foods producers (Winners of the first place 2006 scovie award in the Habanero category with Cry Baby, and third place in the fruit category with Make Me Moan Mango), and extremely knowledgeable about hot foods, they’re also funny, irreverent, and a joy to talk with. With people like these ladies carrying the banner, it’s easy to see why the hot sauce community has such a bright future - it is tight knit and downright fun.
HSB: First off, how did you get started in the hot sauce business? And what was your inspiration?
Lisa: (Laughs) Unemployment. It was the summer of 2005. We have 6 kids between the three of us. Working a full time job was difficult; we had to take time off, it was really hard when the kids were young. I was Jodie’s daughter’s softball coach. My fiancee had a hot sauce collection. A lot of them didn’t have much flavor; they were all really hot, and mostly there for the burn. So I called Jodie and said let’s start a hot sauce company. We had a meeting the next morning, and the rest is history.
HSB: What do the three hot tamales bring to the table of hot sauce lovers? What sets your products apart?
Kristi: We focus on the flavor. We’re not looking burn your mouth off; we focus on the flavor, all natural - we don’t use extracts.
Lisa: We want to create something that is going to complement your food, rather thank kill it. We try to put sauces together with flavors that complement each other, flavors that are a little out of the ordinary, flavors that complement foods they are used on. We use Mango, and are starting to use Passion Fruit. The Cry Baby uses the freshest peppers. We hope and plan to never use extract. We stick with fresh peppers, habaneros and chipotles, or a form of high quality pepper mash. Have you tried our sauces?
HSB: No, I haven’t had the chance yet.
Lisa: (Gasp) Oh no. That means the interview has to stop here. (Laughs)
HSB: Sorry about that, I’ll get on it as soon as I can. So, tell me a little about your sauces.
Kristi: The Cry Baby, that’s the Scovie winner. It’s our most simple sauce. It’s my favorite, because of it’s simplicity, it’s bold flavor; but it’s not overpowering. It goes on everything. It’s an addictive sauce, that’s for sure.
There’s the Garlic lover’s steak sauce. People love that sauce - especially Nick’s wife. Thanks for the review! She’s our adopted Tamale, our fourth Tamale. There’s tons of roasted garlic. It’s beautiful to make to smell.
Then we have the Chipotle barbecue sauce. Full bodied, full flavor, just chunks of ingredients in there.
HSB: Describe a day in the life of a Tamale.
Lisa: We work all during the day - take care of the kids, then work on the business. Lots of networking, lots of sales, working with lots of distributors. New sauces, new rubs. And we’re trying to get things together for ZestFest in September.
HSB: Tell me about the creative process of coming up with a new sauce. How does the dynamic work between the three of you in the kitchen?
We don’t sit down and put our heads together. If we want to create something, it’s going to come to us. We don’t push the process. We get lots of samples from manufactures, and think about what we can do with them. Maybe I’m eating something at a restaurant, and think, “you know what would have tasted good with that?” It takes a long time. We don’t just try and push stuff out there to mass market.
HSB: What’s your favorite part of the Hot Sauce making process?
Kristi: The three of us are very good friends. We’re sitting there working together, seeding 20 pounds of habanero peppers. There’s a lot of laughter, a lot of bloopers, you know, habanero juice getting where it shouldn’t. But we’re working hard. You get a sense of accomplishment, working with people you love, and making a product you love. We started out with 10 sauces but got down to 4 - we wanted to be 100% satisfied with them all. It helps that we’re brutally honest. It makes it fun, it makes it worthwhile.
We do our R&D in Jersey, but we manufacture our sauces in Vermont. Even though we have a co-packer, we are always there and hands on while it’s getting done. We wake sure that the standards remain the way we intended them. We agreed that if our standards or quality are ever compromised, we’d close the business down. A lot of time, when a small maker gets big, and they compromise on a lot of things. We’d rather button up, say it’s been a nice run, rather than producing a sauce that isn’t up to our standards and our customers standards. We want each bottle to take like it was made by someones grandmother in a kitchen, not mass produces, not full of additives and preservative.
And we love the crazy road trips. (Laughs.)
HSB: It sounds like you have a lot of fun with what you’re doing!
Lisa: Any of us could stay in a 9 to 5 job and be miserable. If we weren’t getting satisfaction and enjoying ourselves, we wouldn’t do it. We could be miserable with any job.
HSB: Here’s the situation. You’re chosen to play culinary survivor. You’re stuck on a desert island and isolated from civilized kitchens for 40 days. You can bring one ingredient. What do you choose?
Lisa: Garlic.
Kristi: Garlic, I totally have to take garlic.
HSB: How do you go about naming a new product?
You’re like the four hundredth person to ask us that! Do you believe people have asked us if we get drunk to name our products?
Put it this way. We take the ingredients, and we try to put a flirty twist on it.
HSB: Let’s play a little word association, okay?
HSB: Tamale
Lisa: Hot
Kristi: Flirty girls tormenting men (laughs)
HSB: Garlic
Lisa: Necessity
Kristi: Roasted
HSB: Spice Rub
Lisa: (Laughs) rub me the right way
Kristi: You’ve got to get rubbed the right way.
HSB: Fruit
Lisa: Passion
Kristi: Summer
HSB: Burn
Lisa: Habanero mishaps
HSB: Anyone you’d like to thank? Anyone who’s helped you along?
First and foremost, we want to thank everybody whose allowed us to be part of this industry. We want to thank CaJohn. Brett from Jungle Jim’s, he’s a person who’s really helped us. And MSK. We’d like to thank CaJohn who has been a mentor to us. All the bloggers who’ve sent us supportive e-mails. There are so many; everyone who’s supported us, and welcomed us. It’s an amazing group of people, we consider them friends. The group at the Fiery Foods Show in New Mexico. They are truly special people. They’re real of people, down to earth. In regular business you’re afraid to talk to your competitor. We don’t even look at them like our competitors. We all want to grow together in the industry.
But not you, since you haven’t tasted our sauces. You’re going to get a Jersey Girl Beat down.
HSB: (Laughs nervously)
Lisa: You think we’re kidding, but ask Nick, he knows. (Laughs)
HSB: So what was your favorite part of the Fiery Foods Show?
Lisa: The people that we met. It was fantastic, above and beyond our expectations. The reaction of people - with this product, it’s like your baby. You’re a little hesitant, because you don’t know what reaction you’re going to get. It’s the moment of truth. The reactions we got - we were on cloud nine for for four days, then for 2 weeks after that. We hope the same thing happens in Texas. We are really looking forward to seeing everyone again.
You think the people on the blog are fun, then it’s even better when you meet them in person.
HSB: Anything else you’d like the readers of the HSB to know about the Three Hot Tamales?
We look forward to bringing them our sauces, and teasing their little palates. We’re doing something special for ZestFest, something secret. And we have 2 new sauces coming out by July.
HSB: And to finish, describe your products in three words or less:
Kristi: Hot, pleasurable, sensational
Lisa: Very, Very, Tasty

I’ll stop, I have to be good.
No Boogerhead….I had family obligations to do. What can I say? And don’t get all excited about me being tied up in the back! Mrs. Boogerhead, if there is one, will be quite upset! LOL

Jodie has her own spotlight shining around her 24/7 xoxo love ya ..he he
seeding 20 pounds of habanero peppers
Say it isn’t so! The beautiful seeds, oh the tragedy of it!
Kidding aside, the Garlic Lovers Steak Sauce is great! How that one didn’t win a Scovie I’ll never know - or maybe I will - Girls???? It is one of the Huvason’s official top 5 favorite sauces.
Nick Lindauer on 5/23/2006 at 8:30 am said:
Agreed, the Garlic Lovers Steak Sauce is excellent! So good in fact that I’m taking it to the Palm Steakhouse today for lunch!
NOw that’s saying a lot! Try kicking it up a bit with some Mambo
Very nice Job Ladys and John. Any time you know were I’am at. PEACE BRET
Great interview John! I will have to give the Steak sauce a try!!!

You are right Jodie,

I would never want to give her the wrong idea, cause you know, she is (I mean would be) the best!

Oh, I never did say thank you for what you did last week Lisa.
Great interview, but I would have liked to hear more about the “Jersey Girl Beat Down”. I agree with Dan, I am really enjoying the interview posts very much, the insights directly from the makers mouth is very informative and great reads. Thanks Tamales you ladies are awesome!

Great interview all around! Congrats Three Hot Tamales also. Looking forward to meeting you at ZF!
Same here loco
Nice interview, Tamales- can’t wait to try the sauces in Texas!

See Chris we have a rotation thing going on. We shackle one Tamale at a time inside a kitchen, a shed or out back. It’s how we get the creative juices flowing. And people think its alcohol that lets us come up with our names……..we prefer torture.
Wonderful interview Ladies!!!! You too John!!!!

Thanks Scotty B’s. The whole thing is a challenge between work, the kids and life in general, but if there were just a few dozen more hours in a day……..let’s just say it’s not so easy squeezing in the “beat downs’! Luckily the THT’s keep us so busy!
Thanks MSK! xoxo
We want to create something that is going to complement your food, rather thank kill it.
I am seeing this comment, and many similar to it, more and more lately. I am of the opinion that THIS is going to be the factor that draws the consumer toward this industry like the proverbial moth to the flame. I love heat, but when blended in tandem with FLAVOR that brings out the best in your food; you have nailed it. There are PLENTY of hot sauces out there who really aren’t much more than water, tomato, and peppers blended into a runny mess. Cute label, perhaps; but that’s about it. Hot sauces that can used to change an ordinary meal into a culinary experience are what could send this industry to the next level. We have all seen how the ‘hot items’ section of the supermarkets are starting to expand their shelf space substantially. Unfortunately; most of it is mass-market ‘crap’. (Newman’s?…Puh-leeeze.) How about a section here at the blog dedicated to those hot sauces which the folks here feel are among the BEST when it comes to the kitchen or the grill? What do you feel goes best with what? Manufacturers…what are YOUR five/ten favorite hot sauces to prepare a meal with, OUTSIDE your own line? How about it, folks? When you grill a steak, what do YOU put on it to bring out both HEAT and FLAVOR…what hot sauce makes that steak so delicious that the last morsel brings tears of regret to your eyes? What’s great on scambled eggs? In a stir fry? Chili? It is just too difficult to run through all the different review sites here trying to locate what people feel are among the best hot sauces to be used in the kitchen. As an example; I ordered a bottle of Lava Extreme a few weeks back, tried it on a steak, and was blown away by the way the heat and flavor complemented each other. The bottle was gone before I knew it…ordering more soon. Based on this thread; I will probably give the Garlic Lover’s a try. If I like it, I tell ALL my friends, and tell them where they can get it. So how about it, folks…what are some of your tastiest preparations, and what hot sauce do YOU use to bring out the best in your food?
Kristi…..check your email!

Right back at cha…….
Well I know the hot sauce is good. I wanted to try the steak sauce so I borrow bottle from work to try it out tonight. I heard it’s good. Hi ladys.
Hi Bret… Hope you have a nice porterhouse ready

Hi Bret, just keep your eyes peeled. If Nick or Laura catch wind of this they just might pay you a visit. You could find yourself minus one bottle of steak sauce. Hope you enjoy.
Yah! Nice interview guys. Quite witty. Nice job John. Can’t wait ’till ZestFest to see everyone! Something secret……hmmmm?
Lisa on 5/23/2006 at 7:07 pm said:

See that, it was Kristi, waiting for the unsuspecting Mad to exit, knowing full well that his dopamine level was going top be elevated from all the Guiness consumption. Too bad Huvason was supposedly the mastermind behind it, but when faced with the reality that someone else was stealing Mad, he stole the Homunculus. It’s all becoming clear now.

I couldn’t “mastermind” my way out of a wet paper bag! I’m blaming the Homunculus kidnapping on the THT as well
I’m Innocent I say
