Sufia Hossain left her career as a fashion executive with The Gap to start Silly Chilly Hot Sauce after falling in love with the multifarious colors, shapes, and sizes of peppers she encountered at farmers markets in New York and New Jersey. Within about four years, her products are in more than 100 stores across the TriState Region and even as far away as Los Angeles.
