Rich Unk Discovers His New Favourite Hot Sauce at the Indigenous Market
Every once in a while, you stumble across a product that immediately earns a permanent spot in your kitchen.
That happened to Rich Unk at the Indigenous Market hosted by the Vancouver Flea Market.
Walking through the rows of Indigenous vendors, artists, entrepreneurs, and food creators, one booth stood out. Bottles of brightly coloured hot sauce lined the table beneath a bold banner reading "Sriracha Revolver."
Curious, Rich stopped to take a closer look.
A few minutes later, he walked away with a bottle of Chili Garlic Sriracha Revolver Hot Sauce.
A few days later, he had a verdict.
"This is my new favourite hot sauce. It's the best hot sauce I've had in a long time."
That is not a statement Rich throws around lightly.
More Than Just Heat
There are plenty of hot sauces on the market that focus on one thing: burning your face off.
Sriracha Revolver takes a different approach.
Founded by Jordan Hocking, a proud member of Sweetgrass First Nation, the Indigenous-owned company was built around the idea that food creates connection, conversation, and community. Since launching in 2017, the brand has earned a reputation for creating bold, flavour-forward sauces inspired by global influences while remaining rooted in authenticity and quality.
The Chili Garlic flavour immediately delivers what many hot sauces fail to achieve: balance.
You get the heat. You get the garlic. But most importantly, you get flavour.
The sauce enhances food rather than overpowering it.
Indigenous Entrepreneurship Done Right
One of the things that impressed Rich most was seeing another Indigenous-owned business creating a premium product that can compete with any brand on the shelf.
Sriracha Revolver proudly acknowledges its Indigenous roots and operates on the traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. The company has grown from a small home-based passion project into an award-winning Indigenous-led food business with products sold across Canada.
In a marketplace often dominated by multinational corporations, Sriracha Revolver represents something different.
It represents community. It represents creativity. It represents Indigenous excellence.
The Verdict
Rich Unk has tried a lot of hot sauces over the years.
Some are hotter. Some have flashier labels. Some make bigger claims.
Very few make him want to keep reaching for the bottle meal after meal.
Sriracha Revolver's Chili Garlic Hot Sauce did exactly that.
Whether it's eggs, burgers, tacos, chicken, bannock, soup, or anything coming off the barbecue, this sauce has quickly become a staple.
For anyone looking to support Indigenous business while discovering a seriously flavourful hot sauce, Rich has a simple recommendation:
Grab a bottle.
Just don't be surprised if it becomes your new favourite too.
