Zsolt Sauce
It started as a fun side project after going to a Hakka restaurant with my friend, Tara, the Saucy Goddess (how fitting that Zsolt Sauce was born from this moment!). They had vinegar with peppers as a condiment on the table. I loved the idea of a sauce that had no sugar and that you could just splash onto food, so I made some of my own milder version to share with friends at a regional Burning Man party, called Hyperborea.
I shared this with people at festivals I went to regularly for fun over the summer of 2018, and after sharing it at the last festival of the season, I got a request to sell my sauce to someone. Well, it was clear that I had to give the sauce business a try. a month and a half later, I created a logo, sourced a plastic container producer as the festival I debuted at, called Harvest Festival (https://harvestfestival.org/) did not allow glass, and I sold my first round of bottles. It was a huge hit, and even though it was a side business, a year ad a half after my debut, I'm now in 28 stores in 11 cities, and I'm still growing, even through Covid!
So what's so special about Zsolt Sauce? First, it works with EVERYTHING! Add it to salads, marinate your steaks, put it in any mixed drink or beer or wine or whiskey, use it as a condiment on your fries, burgers, pizzas, pasta's, chicken wings, mix it with other sauces, use it as a BBQ dressing, posters, fish, to name a few!
And what else is amazing about Zsolt Sauce? The flavour experience! When you try it, put a drop or two on the middle of your tongue, 4-5 if you have a medium heat tolerance (like Franks, for example) or give it a squirt if you find Jalapenos mild, and you'll start with the zing of the vinegar, then a bite from the pepper which doesn't build or linger, followed by 8 flavour changes over the course of 30 seconds before settling into a delicious after-taste than lingers for about 5 -10 minutes!!
And who can enjoy Zsolt Sauce! Well, my youngest taster or record on my Instagram page was 6 months old. She gave the cutest smirk after she sat with the flavour changes for the 30 seconds when asked how she liked it! People who don't like hot sauce realize my sauce is a flavour enhancer, so if you can handle pepper (as in salt and pepper), you'll love my sauce!
And best of all, no refrigeration required with a 5-year shelf life! And with the health benefits of organic apple cider vinegar and with only one other ingredient, red Thai chili peppers, it can meet the dietary needs of vegans, keto, gluten-free, oil free and salt-free requirements. Delicious, healthy, works on everything and everyone can enjoy it and it can be left on the counter! Best sauce there is!!
Sorry that this took so long, but thanks for the poking, I finally just winged it!

Zsolt Sauce Restaurant
- A seafood dish typically made from fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices, such as lemon or lime. Here Chef Zsolt Zakar adds a touch of sophistication with fresh Irish hand dive scallops and lime infused ponzu, finishing with delicate touches of fennel pollen and sea trout roe. Ingredients: – Fresh Irish hand dived scallops – Dill oil.
- OPTIONAL: You can de-bone the chicken or leave the pieces intact. I spoil everyone by skinning and de-boning it and adding it back to the sauce. Grandma always served the chicken pieces separate on a dish and whole. It is up to you how you like it. I always just went for the sauce over dumplings when I was a kid!
- Wisconsin is known for its cheese, and you really can't think of California without imagining its charming beach towns. But trust us: There's so much more to learn about your state and the 49.
