Salamander Hot Sauces Launches KickStarter Crowdfunding Campaign
Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) July 11, 2013 -- Salamander hot sauces, billed as the world’s most unique hot sauces that combine delicious depth and complexity while balancing tantalizing flavor and fire, launched its crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. “I love hot spicy food but I just can’t find commercial hot sauces that I enjoy, so to solve this problem I decided to create my own. Rather than creating yet another vinegar-based concoction or one of those flavorless sauces whose only claim to greatness is their searing heat, I have taken hot sauces in a new direction,” stated Tim Kavarnos, Salamander Sauces Creator.
Kavarnos’ philosophy is simple - hot sauces should be hot, but the heat should be matched by the flavor, the sauces should be made with the freshest locally sourced ingredients possible, and the sauces should be all natural. Following these principles Tim has created sauces which tantalize the palate with depth of flavor while still delivering a good hearty kick - sauces which compliment a wide variety of foods - sauces that balance flavor and fire.

Tim’s fascination of peppers began years ago, while living in Rhode Island. In Tim’s garden there were sixteen different types of hot peppers being grown. “I would make fresh salsas, chili and even dry them for my own crushed pepper. In 2001 I decided it was time for a change. I moved to Brooklyn NY and picked up jobs in restaurants while trying to figure out what to do next. After settling in a Park Slope restaurant I began making hot sauce for fun and bringing it to work. My coworkers began to ask me when I was going to bring in more. A short time later my good friend Jeff announced he was opening a restaurant and wanted the hot sauce in his kitchen, and so it began. Jeff’s restaurant, Backyard, opened on Fifth Ave in Park Slope, Brooklyn in the spring of 2012. The sauce was a hit. Shortly thereafter I teamed up Jeff and offered a hot sauce tasting featuring five unique sauces and the people went crazy. The next step was to follow my passion and start The Salamander Sauce Company,” concluded Kavarnos.
Salamander Original sauce was just awarded 4.5 out of 5 stars by Billy Delaney of TastySauces.com. Tasty Sauces was created to address the lack of consistency and objectivity in sauce reviews The video review can be seen here on YouTube.
The Salamander Hot Sauce campaign also marks the first time that crowdfunding campaign manager, John-Michael Scott and crowdfunding marketer, Philip Cardwell have joined forces in support of a crowdfunding project. “When I first spoke to Tim, I knew that I wanted to represent his project. It’s rare that I find a person who is so passionate and dedicated that he will work day and night to perfect his idea. Bringing Universal Media Consultants onboard was a no-brainer. Philip is one of the few people who understands the level of media exposure that is required to make sure that a crowdfunding campaign becomes fully funded,” stated John-Michael Scott, Founder of IndieFund.it.
“Tim’s a great guy. He’s easy to work with and very focused on producing the best hot sauce on the market. When I was first approached and asked if I had an interest in working on this crowdfunding campaign, I almost passed. It’s such a small campaign and I’ve been focusing on larger projects and on crowdfunding films. Spending time with Tim and looking over the rave reviews he has collected from people and restaurants who have tried Salamander Sauces, changed my mind. Tim is definitely on to something. I wouldn’t be surprised to see his sauces end up in the “big box” stores and on shelves across America,” stated Philip Cardwell, Founder of Universal Media Consultants.
