π NATIONAL GRAND CHAMPIONS! π WICHITA PRIDE!
We have some absolutely mind-blowing news from Texas! Even though we didnβt travel down to Fort Worth to set up a booth this year, our sauces just completely swept the 30th Anniversary Fiery Food Challenge at ZestFest 2026!
Against hundreds of the absolute best hot sauces, salsas, and BBQ sauces from across the globe, the judges voted in a strict blind tastingβand Wichita flavor came out on top of the entire world! ππ₯
Here is how the lineup dominated:
π₯ Pig In! Pig Out! Original: 1st Place (Mild BBQ Sauce), Best Overall Sauce, AND the ultimate GRAND CHAMPION BEST OF SHOW! (The #1 highest-scoring product in the entire international festival!)
π₯ Pig In! Pig Out! Hot: 1st Place (Hot BBQ Sauce
Talk about a legacy! This follows our huge win in May 2025 where our Hot sauce took 1st Place and Best Overall BBQ Sauce. This year, the Original came roaring back to take the ultimate crown. π
βWe didnβt even travel down to Texas; we simply let the recipe speak for itself," say owners Derek Cochran and Jason Garnsey. "For our Original to win Best of Show purely on flavor, texture, and balance in a blind tasting is a massive testament to our roots and the high standards of Kansas BBQ."
