CEO — Tabasco / McIlhenny Company
Paul McIlhenny was the CEO of the McIlhenny Company, makers of Tabasco hot sauce — one of the most iconic condiment brands in the world. He personally negotiated with Jim Quessenberry to carry Sauce Beautiful in the Tabasco Country Store catalog.
The fact that the head of Tabasco sought out Jim's sauce speaks volumes about the quality of Sauce Beautiful. This wasn't a mass-market deal — it was a stamp of approval from American condiment royalty.
