ZinDrew began as a home experiment, with husband Andrew attempting to create the perfect chili oil for his wife Zin. After they perfected the recipe it became a hit among friends and family, so they decided to share their garlic chili oil with the world. These days, ZinDrew offers their sauce over handmade wontons at our events, but if you want a full bottle after giving it a taste they’ve also got a booth for that!
