\u201cIt\u2019s getting very popular. We\u2019re really excited about that,\u201d Rebecca said.<\/p>\n They sell their sauces every Sunday at the Hillcrest Farmers Market, as well as the farmers markets in Clairemont on Saturday and Imperial Beach on Friday.<\/p>\n \u201cWe cater to our people. If they say, \u2018I\u2019d really like this in a hot sauce, I\u2019d really like that in a hot sauce,\u2019 we\u2019ll make a sauce out of it if we think it sounds good,\u201d Rebecca said. \u201cThat\u2019s the reason we have so many varieties \u2026 we want to cater to everyone\u2019s palate.\u201d<\/p>\n Besides the original recipe, the couple\u2019s repertoire includes When Pigs Fly flavored with bacon, Hummzinger based on garbanzo beans, and Grateful Fed laced with healthy ingredients.<\/p>\n \u201cThis sauce is a valuable source of Omega-3, the anti-inflammatory,\u201d Rebecca said.<\/p>\n All of the hot sauces are made with local produce.<\/p>\n \u201cEverything is healthy,\u201d Rebecca said. \u201cAll the ingredients do something for your body that\u2019s going to make it feel good. People develop a healthy addiction to the hot sauce.\u201d<\/p>\n Daniel, a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard, has turned his business efforts toward helping the troops. They give military discounts to any service person whether active duty or prior service. Their motto is, “Your time was worth something, right? Well it is here, too.”<\/p>\n Throughout the year, Daniel and Rebecca ship care packages to soldiers deployed all over the world. They do it to give the troops a little taste of home, and remind them that “we appreciate their commitment,” Daniel said.<\/p>\n Semper Fry encourages its customers to supply them with FPO and AP addresses of active duty troops so they can further broaden their reach. Customers can also pay an additional $8 if they have a specific person to send a care package to.<\/p>\n The care packages are filled with samples from the ever growing product line of Awesome Hot Sauce, candy, hand sanitizer, antibacterial wet napkins and other miscellaneous items we too often take for granted until we no longer have them.<\/p>\n Four of their Awesome Hot Sauces are nominated for this year’s world Hot Sauce Awards. The 34-year-old Original Recipe is competing for world’s best “medium” hot sauce. Sgt. Pepper is in the running for best “Louisiana-style” sauce. Hummzinger is going after world’s best “hot” hot sauce, and Venom aims to take home the honors for best “pepper blend.” Befitting of such a world competition, Daniel said, this one takes place in Louisiana, the birthplace of the most time-tested style of hot sauce known today.<\/p>\n All four of the nominees are available at Simply Local of North Park located at 3013 University Ave. In addition to the nominated sauces, Daniel and Rebecca personally selected eight others for shoppers, including their popular Awesome Spicy Avocado sauce.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can spread it with a butter knife,\u201d Daniel said \u201c\u2026 it\u2019s an everyday condiment.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"(Photo](\"https:\/\/sduptownnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DSC_0227webtop.jpg\")
