A Little Spice Isle History: On November 1, 2013, Steve and Heidi saw their dream of owning an island business come to fruition with the opening of Crackpot Kitchen Restaurant on the island of Providenciales in Turks and Caicos. In November, 2014, they began bottling and selling their first specialty sauce, Crackpot Kitchen Tropical Tamarind BBQ Sauce, through the restaurant. The sauce quickly became a hit with locals and tourists alike, with production barely being able to keep up with the demands of the grocery stores and gift shops on the island. So, in January, 2015, Steve and Heidi from Lincoln, Nebraska started working with a company to produce the sauce here in the United States. Since that time, the original sauce has been retired but their product line has improved and expanded to several more flavorful and exciting Tropical sauces and rubs known as Spice Isle Sauces, LLC.
