Sean & Stacy Becker
Hi,
I'm Sean Becker and this is my wife Stacy. We are just a couple of bankers from Cape Elizabeth, Maine who share a passion for fiery hot sauces. Bonding over our love for spicy flavors, we often found ourselves exploring local hot sauce shops, seeking out the hottest and most unique blends. As our obsession with hot sauce grew, so did our dreams of creating our own line of fiery concoctions.
Back in 2020 when the country shut down due to COVID, I happened to be out of work, and we decided to plant our own pepper garden and try our hand at making our own hot sauces. From there as the recipes took off and the request for our sauces kept coming in, we decided to take the leap and start our hot sauce company. With our combined financial expertise and a fiery determination, we embarked on our entrepreneurial journey.
Drawing inspiration from Maine’s rich culinary heritage and abundant local produce, Stacy and I began experimenting with different flavor combinations right out of our kitchen. From pairing fruit like, blueberries, peach pineapple, and tomatillos with the likes of habaneros, jalapenos, ghost peppers, and reapers, our creations became a testament to our creativity and love for bold flavors.
With the support of our friends and family, we launched our hot sauce company in 2024 aptly named “Route 77 Hot Sauce” for where it all began, in our house off Route 77. With every bottle of Route 77 sold, we know we are not just selling hot sauce, but a taste of our shared dreams and fiery spirit.
