A long time ago, in a backyard not too far away.. ​FIREBHUT began in Burlington Ontario in 2012 with a simple idea: keep it fresh and keep it simple.    We started growing Bhut Jolokia peppers in the backyard, mixed in some fresh carrots, onion, garlic and wow, we were floored with the results!  Todd’s six year old son came up with the name.  He knew that something with this much pep would make fire come out your Butt!   The 'BHUT' in FIREBHUT pays tribute to the Bhut Jolokia peppers we use.  Bhut means malevolent spirit. Since then, Todd turned down the heat level, and have struck the perfect balance between zing and flavour.  FIREBHUT is still made in small batches of 300-400 bottles.  They use locally grown Bhut Jolokia peppers with no pesticides, and organically grown ingredients. There are no artificial perservatives or thickeners (so shake well).    This is a fresh and tasty product unlike anything else.  Give it a try on BBQ Chicken, Tacos, Burgers or spice up your Caesar. You don't just taste it on your tongue, you feel it in your jaw!  ​Is this on of those super hot gag causes? No. Firebhut is a cause you can enjoy with your food any time. The flavour and perfect blend of heat makes it enjoyable to eat with just about anything. Dinner Table Conversation at The Smith’s Todd is not your typical Dad. He’s not one to have “regular” conversations at the dinner table. while almost every other family talk about how their day went, Todd etched his kids the importance of business. You’ll have to listen to the podcast. All the juice details are there. Seriously, you have to listen to this part. Are You A Restaurant?

Let me introduce you to two extremely amazing ladies – Kelly Childs (right), and her daughter Erinn Weatherbie (left). I asked these ladies what they thought of each other There’s only one word I can say that sums it up – “LOVE”. These ladies have such respect, admiration and love for one another. They truly share an incredible relationship that results in both of them looking up to the other. They do sometime tease each other with nicknames. Erinn calls Kelly, “Spicy” and Kelly calls Erinn “Calm”. Who’s the Boss? After they both pointed the at each other Kelly explained their business can’t possibly run with either of them being the only boss. They are a packaged deal. Their staff is just as important to the business as they are. Their philosophy is to manage people through love and kindness. They do admit being a leader is always work-in-progress but they have an understanding of when to step up and when to hold back utilizing each other’s strengths. What is your favourite aspect of running a business? Seeing a child with allergies eating a cupcake, a brownie or a sundae for the first time is their favourite part of running the bakery. Watching mom and dad cry because their child was able to enjoy a cupcake that normally they wouldn’t due to allergies. The best seller? Mile High Brownie and Triple Fudge Brownies. The book: “Made With Love”. They have plenty of copies at their location: Kelly’s Bake Shoppe Address: 401 Brant Street, Burlington Ontario L7R 2E9 Phone: 905-333-1400 Website: https://www.kellysxo.com/
