Hey there — I’m David Brodie, the proud dog dad and human behind Hot Hounds Sauce. I’m originally from Oceanside, CA, and converted to Judaism several years ago. Shabbat dinners were a huge part of my Jewish journey with my girlfriend at the time (now wifey, Liat) — not just a step into my new faith, but a chance to gather around food, conversation, and community.
During COVID-19, we left Southern California for the wide-open beauty of Montana where we adopted our two hound dogs, Hazy and Trooper. Somewhere between snowy winters and spicy kitchen experiments, Hot Hounds Sauce was born. What started as a way to keep our Shabbat meals exciting turned into a small-batch passion project we now share — and ship across the lower 48 states.
With National Dog Day this week, we’re celebrating with an exclusive social media giveaway collaboration with OneTable — follow us both on Instagram (@hothoundssauce and @onetableshabbat) to stay tuned for all the details there.
Why Hot Sauce + Shabbat = Flavor Fun
Our sauces aren’t just about heat; they’re smoky, tangy, sweet, and spicy all at once — built to elevate everything from roasted veggies to salmon and even as a great hummus topper. Honoring Jewish traditions with a bit of hot sauce adds an easy flair to spice up your Shabbat and any holiday!
Shabbat Inspo with a Kick
🌮 Taco Time – Spicy brisket, chipotle-lime roasted veggies, or fish topped with Hot Hounds “Bassetude” flavor.
🥗 Mediterranean Mix – Hummus, baba ganoush, olives, warm pita… plus a bottle of “Bird Dog Curry” hot sauce on the table.
🍯 Honey Heat Salmon – Honey + Hot Hounds glaze for a Rosh Hashana-ready dish.
🍗 Wing It with Heat – Roasted or grilled chicken wings tossed in your favorite flavor.
🥔 Blazing Blintzes – Potato blintzes topped with sour cream and a drizzle of hot sauce.
Spicy + Sweet for the High Holidays
Rosh Hashana is about sweetness and fresh starts — and Hot Hounds Sauce brings the perfect balance of heat to keep your menu exciting. Plus, they make amazing friend, host or guest gifts — way more fun than another bottle of wine.
So whether you’re hosting Shabbat, getting ready for the High Holidays, or celebrating National Dog Day with your own furry friends, grab a bottle of Hot Hounds Sauce. Your guests will thank you.
