We Add Spice · Test Kitchen · Est. 2025
Six experimentsgot out ofthe building.
We’re a small-batch hot sauce test kitchen. Most recipes never leave the counter. These six did — bottled under the Dr Saucey’s label, from a warm-up red to something you measure in drops.

Everyday
Flavour first, heat as seasoning.
We only bottle the ones we can’t leave alone
- 01
It starts as a maybe
Someone brings in a pepper or an idea. It gets cooked down, tasted, argued about, written on a jar with a marker.
- 02
It has to earn the bottle
Most don't. A recipe only moves forward if people keep reaching for it after the novelty wears off.
- 03
It ships small
The ones that make it are bottled in short runs under the Dr Saucey's label, batch-coded, and sent out before we talk ourselves out of it.
Where each one actually earns its keep
Dr Saucey’s
The New Hot Rod
- Breakfast eggsOver-easy, on the yolk, before the toast.
- Smash burgersInstead of ketchup. Do not argue.
- Roast potatoesTossed while still hot from the pan.
05 — Next batch
Batches are small and they go fast
The drop list is how you hear first. One email when a batch is about to land — which sauces, how many bottles, where to get them. That’s it.
