The Company
Heatonist is on a mission to make food more exciting and delicious one plate at a time! Heatonist launched in 2013 as a pushcart in Brooklyn, and since then we’ve grown to become the #1 hot sauce site online and have two retail stores in NYC. In 2016 we partnered with First We Feast to be the exclusive creator of hot sauces for Hot Ones, the #1 ranked Interview Show on YouTube. With host Sean Evans, Hot Ones is raking in awards (including two Emmy nominations!) with 2B lifetime views, 13M subscribers, and an insane social media following.
With the ongoing success and demand of these sauces online, the time was right to launch our products onto retail shelves. Our unique flavor profiles excite customers and set us apart from the competition. We pride ourselves on our use of premium, natural, inventive ingredients, and don’t use any preservatives, fillers, or gums. We want people to think about our products the way they think about the rest of their meal, because as we like to say, hot sauce is food that goes on food.
