The Story

But flavor, like freedom, has a way of attracting resistance. As word of Tom and Bonney’s fiery creations spread, so did their following. Patriots desperate for something—anything—to rescue their bland rations began seeking out the pair and their increasingly bold blends. Before long, their sauces were doing more than adding a little fire to supper; they were becoming a small but spirited part of the rebellion.

The British, however, were far less enthusiastic. Deeming Tom and Bonney’s creations too bold, too fiery, and entirely too rebellious, they sought to put an end to the growing culinary uprising. But Tom and Bonney had no intention of surrendering. If the patriots could no longer come looking for the flavor, Tom and Bonney would simply have to find another way to get the flavor to them.

And for that, they would need a signal.

Every good rebellion needs a secret code, and Tom and Bonney’s was impossible to mistake. Two glowing, pepper-shaped lanterns placed in a window became a quiet signal to those who knew what to look for. When the lanterns were lit, Tom and Bonney knew another household was ready to join their growing rebellion—and, more importantly, desperately in need of something flavorful for supper.

Under the cover of darkness, their sauces found their way into kitchens, taverns, and rebel camps, passed from one flavor-starved patriot to the next. What began as a secret signal soon became a symbol: two fiery lights in a window meant bold flavor could still be found, even when the opposition wanted it extinguished.

And so, beneath the glow of two pepper-shaped lanterns, the Flavor Rebellion was born.

The lanterns are lit. The sauces are ready. And there’s always room for one more rebel.

Joining the Flavor Rebellion doesn’t require secret meetings, midnight deliveries, or plotting against the Crown. It simply requires a belief that life is too short for bland food.

Light your lanterns; the Rebellion lives on.
