Here's a true Toronto love story. Last year, when engaged couple Shaun and Amy Worrell (AKA "Milk and Coco") attended the Hot and Spicy Food Festival at Harbourfront, they decided they'd bottle their own hot sauce as a wedding favour for their guests, made with Canadian and West Indian ingredients to mirror their own heritage. At the reception, the sauce was so popular that they realized they should go into bigger production; thus was born Can-West Hot Sauce. (Watch out! The link opens with appropriately tropical music!)
You'll find them this weekend at Harbourfront's Hot and Spicy Food Festival, not just as visitors, but as vendors. They'll be in the Lakeside Terrace Tent as part of the Red Hot Marketplace, where various spices, sauces, marinades and dips will be available for sampling and sale. Other vendors include Jake Albert's Specialty Food, Hot Mamas Food, Chetty's Hot Sauce, Edna's Pickles, The Joy of Harvest, Peppermaster, Betty K Foods, So Hot Sauce, Susie's Hot Sauce, Eadrey Food Company and Island Spiced.
The Hot and Spicy Food Festival runs this long weekend, September 4 to 7, at Harbourfront Centre. Admission is free. The Red Hot Martketplace is open Friday (6 p.m. to midnight), Saturday (noon to midnight), Sunday (noon to midnight) and Monday (noon to 5 p.m.)
