His creations have been featured on Hot Ones and are well known among hot sauce fans. But Ed’s mission goes beyond spice. As the man behind the world’s spiciest peppers, he’s just as focused on taking care of his family, his employees, and his customers. In this episode, he shares why his sauces are about more than pain - they’re about serving a higher calling. Got a burning question for Food Network stars Robert Irvine or Guy Fieri?
