Meet the Creators: Tom Hewell and Ted Ebert

Tom and Ted are the flavor visionaries behind Saint Lucifer Foods Company, a Philadelphia-based brand that has received national acclaim for their unique array of spicy condiments.

From a Kitchen Experiment to a Culinary Revolution

The journey began in their own kitchen in Philadelphia, where Tom and Ted, who were roommates after college hailing from Pittsburgh University and Indiana University of PA respectively, had been marinating and drying habanero peppers with the idea of creating an elevated version of crushed red pepper for pizza and pasta exclusively.

After months of tweaking, and tasting, and tweaking, what emerged was a wicked spice so irresistible, they couldn’t eat without it. A perfect balance of garlic, salt, paprika, vinegar, and fiery habanero peppers, Saint Lucifer Spice offers a welcoming heat, not an overbearing one.

Friends and family couldn’t get enough of their concoction, inspiring the creation of Saint Lucifer Foods Co. and a shared mission to bring their flavor-forward products to tables everywhere.

A Flavorful Product Line Designed to Spice Up Your Life

But Tom and Ted didn’t stop with their signature Habanero Spice. Today, Saint Lucifer Foods Company offers an entire line of products to spice up your culinary repertoire. Their offerings now include extra virgin olive oils and balsamic vinegar imported from Italy, Instant Dry Bloody Mary Packets for the perfect cocktail on the go, and Lucy’s 76, a premium steak sauce that takes grilled and roasted meats to the next level.

A Philosophy of Exciting and Versatile Seasoning

Passionate about good food and adventurous flavors, Tom and Ted live and breathe their brand. From pizza, pasta and veggies to eggs and steaks, they dash Saint Lucifer on just about everything—though Ted might advise skipping the fruit-flavored cottage cheese experiment. Their philosophy is simple: seasoning should be exciting, versatile, and something that brings people together over great food.

Join the Movement: From Philadelphia to Tables Nationwide

As their products appear in stores, restaurants, and homes nationwide, Tom and Ted envision Saint Lucifer seasonings becoming as indispensable as salt and pepper. Join them on their mission to turn everyday meals into extraordinary experiences, one fiery bite at a time. And be sure to try some for yourself. Remember, "Shake a little - Shake a lot, you control the heat level!"
