The sauce raises money for neighborhood cleanups across <a href=\"https:\/\/philadelphianewsroom.com\/tag\/philadelphia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Philadelphia<\/a>. Street Heat costs $10. You can buy it on the company&#8217;s website or at pop-up events around town.<\/p>\n<p>Ten percent of what they make will go straight to Haigler&#8217;s group, Trash 2 Treasure, which funds cleanups and helps protect the environment in local neighborhoods. They want to sell 25,000 bottles by Earth Day on April 2. If they reach that number, they&#8217;ll throw a big cleanup event with a block party for the whole community.<\/p>\n<p>Street Heat blends mangos, habaneros, tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, salt, garlic, and apple cider vinegar. It&#8217;s vegan. It&#8217;s also gluten-free.<\/p>\n<p>Radhi Fernandez runs HotBox. He says the sauce gives you sweetness first, then a gentle heat that builds. &#8220;Not a challenging hot sauce,&#8221; he explains, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phillyvoice.com\/hot-sauce-hotbox-philly-ya-fav-trashman\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">PhillyVoice<\/a>. His business focuses on taste instead of burning your mouth. He skips sugars, additives, and preservatives when making his products.<\/p>\n<p>Haigler goes by Ya Fav Trashman on the internet. He used to work in sanitation. Now he runs cleanups and hauls away trash that people dump where they shouldn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>How did these two team up? Fernandez sent Haigler a message on LinkedIn thanking him for what he does. The next day, Haigler stood in his kitchen brainstorming hot sauce ideas with Fernandez.<\/p>\n<p>Haigler and Fernandez will host pop-up events around the city and at Fernandez&#8217;s kitchen in Kensington when the new year starts. They&#8217;re selling the hot sauce as a way to &#8220;save a local business and raise money for a cleaner Philadelphia,&#8221; Haigler said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Terrill Haigler and HotBox Philly released a mango habanero hot sauce on Friday.
