Grumpy Ginger
 |
Food Products |
Hello! I'm Sue Ann, founder of Grumpy Ginger. Like many Malaysians, food is what I miss most about home. I’ve been living in the US for over a decade, and each time I travel back from Kuala Lumpur my bags are so stuffed with herbs and spices I struggle to get them under the plane’s weight limit. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found myself cooking in search of a piece of home. Food was how my parents expressed their love, and I’m no different. I’ve converted Jackson’s American palate so he asks for curry instead of pasta for dinner, an achievement I’m especially proud of. Malaysian food is far less well known than other Asian cuisines in the US. I hope Grumpy Ginger can help spread the word. The combo of waft-worthy flavor and simplicity make it hard to beat - but I'll let you try it and decide for yourself! |

Chili Paste |
A miso based chili paste unlike any other spicy condiment or ingredient. Imagine the perfect duo of umami rich red miso and freshly roasted peppers - you've never tasted anything like it. That umami savory saltiness instantly elevates anything you add it to, and the peppers bring a balanced kick of heat. Add it to your soups, pasta sauce, and marinades, or squeeze our Chili Sauce right on your sandwiches, eggs, and tacos. Are you ready to level up your flavors? Chef Curtis Bell was born and raised in Denver and has worked in the food scene in New York and Colorado for the past two decades. In 2019, Curtis catered an interactive ramen party inspired by his travels to Japan and created a spicy paste to accompany the dish. The guests went absolutely wild for this unique condiment, putting it on their charcuterie bites and appetizers, and said that if he jarred it they would buy it by the case. So he did! Founded by Chef Curtis Bell, a native of Denver Colorado. Chef Bell is an experienced Private Chef and Culinary Educator. |

Transcendence Coffee
 |
Coffee Syrups |
Transcendence Coffee was founded by two female engineers who met working as baristas in college. Derived from their love of specialty lattes and their frustration with artificial syrups dominating the flavored coffee industry, they decided to brew something better. They began crafting their own coffee brand that combined diverse, global syrup flavors with specialty techniques and all-natural ingredients. Today, they aim to do more than just sell syrups - they hope to transcend the limitations of a stale industry by connecting people to flavors from cultures around the world. And what better way to start than with the founders' cultural roots: India and Algeria. |
