Dear Friends, Family, and Fellow Spice Seekers,
I'm thrilled to announce that SpiceQuest will be part of the Tustin Tiller Days this weekend – October 4th through 6th at Columbus Tustin Park! For three days, you'll find us sharing our love for spice, fun, and flavor from 4 PM to 11 PM on Friday, 11 AM to 11 PM on Saturday, and 12 PM to 8 PM on Sunday.
Tustin Tiller Days is a family-friendly event filled with live music, carnival rides, contests, a parade, and even wiener dog races (yes, you read that right)! It’s a great opportunity to experience the joy of community, and I'd love for you to stop by, support SpiceQuest, and bring your friends and family along for an unforgettable weekend.
Since the Chili Cook-Off earlier this year, I’ve been working non-stop to get ready for the holiday season, and I’ve got some exciting updates. First off, I'm preparing a brand-new Asian Spice Kit that's going to launch just in time for the holidays (closer to Thanksgiving). This new kit will feature flavors inspired by China, Korea, Vietnam, Japan, and India. You can bet these spices will elevate your holiday feasts and make a memorable gift for any culinary adventurer in your life.
In addition to that, I’ve been collaborating with farmers across the country to source some exclusive and limited-edition peppers that will soon be available as part of single-batch, small-scale releases. These are some truly special varietals – the kind that you may only come across once in a lifetime. And I'm equally excited to tease our upcoming "Bug Kit," featuring exotic spices made from grasshoppers, ants, and worms, paired with special spirits like mezcal and tequila. This is part of my journey to explore flavors that are bold, wild, and unlike anything you've ever tasted.
At Tiller Days, you'll have the chance to experience our core collection of 10 unique chili peppers – from the mildest hint of spice to the most intense, fiery heat. If you stop by the booth, you can test out the grinders, learn about the different flavor profiles, and even customize your own kit.
So, if you’re in Southern California this weekend, I’d love to see you at Tiller Days! Come say hi, try some spice, and let’s share some stories. This journey has been a wild ride, and there's nothing better than celebrating it with the community that’s helped bring SpiceQuest to life.
