I’m not a spicy food wimp, but neither am I competitive spicy food  eater (you know the type, right?), so I love a little kick on my scrambled eggs or in my chili,my collard greens, or my noodle bowl. Through the last few years, Red Clay Hot Sauce, made right here in Charleston, SC, has become more and more my go-to for just that. This company, which began when Geoff Rhyne was chopping chiles in the kitchen at The Ordinary is now growing and showing up in way more spots than just my fridge, so I wanted to go beyond the bottle and learn more. What I discovered was a family man with a passion for creativity who is carving (and cooking) his own path.
