About Us

Vanessa owns and operates Crepes and Co in Traverse City, MI since 2018. When looking for a new hot sauce for her breakfast burrito (very French, we know 😉), she turned to Maria to make a hot sauce for Crepes and Co.

Maria has worked in the food industry for almost 10 years as a line cook, Executive Chef, in house Butcher, and culinary instructor. During her career, she found herself at a small batch hot sauce company for 2 years, learning food processing and day-to-day operations.

Trusting her instincts, the first hot sauce she created was Vanessa's Smokin Hot Sauce. We cannot wait to release more flavors and heat levels 🔥We are glad you're here.
