How Sunburst Started

A former line cook got tired of bland, boring hot sauce. So they created something better.

The Problem

Working the line, day after day, the same question kept coming up: why does hot sauce have to be so boring? Why does it have to be one-note vinegar and pain? Why can't it celebrate flavor, sunshine, and the joy of eating?

The Solution

Sunburst was born from a simple idea: tropical, playful, bold sauce that brings serious heat, bright flavor, and a little celebration to every meal. Not sauce that makes you suffer. Sauce that makes you smile.

Our Mission

To make bold, tropical hot sauce that brings serious heat, bright flavor, and a little celebration to every meal.
