No one has ever accused Ruins chef Joseph O’Neal’s recipes of having a lack of spice. Now you can have that heat at home for the holidays. After years of calculating his craft of chilis, O’Neal is packaging his peppery passion. He has traveled all over the world learning flavors and techniques that give his new product line legs. More than half of his first batch has already been sold since launching last week.
