If you’re a foodie in the greater Boston area, chances are you’ve heard of Fernanda Tapia. She’s a champion of the tv show “Chopped,” co-owner of Newton Centre’s former Chilean restaurant Comedor, and once named by Zagat as one of Boston’s top 30 chefs under the age of 30. In addition to running her own personal chef business where she cooks up fine, creative cuisine for private and corporate clients, Fernanda just launched her own hot sauce called “Tapi Papi.” According to the Chopped champion it’s the perfect blend of fiery heat and sweet honey. Made in small batches with lots of Fresno chilis and a dash of Chilean merken, Tapi Papi has the right amount of kick to go with everything. Grab a bottle at the market, meet Fernanda, and get ready to spice up your Thanksgiving table. You can pre-order bottles for easy pick up at the market, too.
