About Fire-Nine

In the heart of Auburn, California, amidst the bustle of her family’s popular breakfast restaurant, Chef Jen Haddad was crafting more than just meals; she was igniting taste buds. It was 2014 when a new creation emerged from her kitchen: Fire-Nine Spicy Garlic Sauce. What began as a unique condiment on the restaurant's tables quickly became an obsession for her patrons. Customers weren't just enjoying their dishes; they were asking to take bottles of Jen's fiery, garlicky concoction home. For a decade, Fire-Nine remained a beloved secret, a local treasure enhancing the dining experience at Jen's restaurant. But the demand grew, whispers of the incredible sauce spreading beyond Auburn. Jen recognized the potential, the almost magnetic pull this simple yet complex sauce had. In 2024, driven by a passion to share this culinary creation with a wider audience, she made a bold decision: she sold her cherished restaurant to fully dedicate herself to Fire-Nine. Now based in vibrant Midtown Sacramento, Fire-Nine Spicy Garlic Sauce is embarking on a new chapter. It's no longer confined to the tables of a single restaurant. You can now bring the signature heat and garlicky punch of Chef Jen's creation into your own kitchen. Fire-Nine is more than just a sauce; it's a testament to a chef's passion, a local favorite that dared to expand, and an invitation to add a spark of excitement to your everyday meals.
