We are sisters.
We love hot sauce.

When we were born, our dad found himself with a lot of time on his hands. That and one fateful trip the farmers market for fresh Fresno Chiles lead to the first bottle of home fermented hot sauce. Called “Rhymes with Fresno” - the original bottles were made for gifts, presents, and for putting on eggs. But people started to notice - and the demand for these hot sauces started to grow.

From those humble beginnings (and another sister), Running Mates was born. Two sisters - lots of peppers - and one hot sauce.
