Our Story.
In the heart of Bethesda, a culinary journey is born from the passion and love for food of a dynamic husband and wife duo. Meet Eli, the visionary and Chief Flavor Architect behind Bethesda Kitchen. With a knack for hosting and an insatiable curiosity for flavors, Eli has spent countless hours perfecting his hot sauces and harissa paste, infusing them with his own creative twists. His dedication to culinary experimentation and nine months of relentless testing led him to create extraordinary blends that ignite the taste buds with delight.
Meanwhile, Kate, the Sauce Boss, brings her expertise in business and operations to the table, ensuring that Bethesda Kitchen runs smoothly and successfully. Together, their home is a warm and inviting sanctuary, always filled with the tantalizing aromas of their cooking. Their table is a testament to their generous nature, as it overflows with a diverse array of ethnic delicacies, ready to be shared with family and friends.
Their culinary prowess and exceptional sauces have garnered a loyal following in the Bethesda community, with Eli being sought after to cater celebrations, family events, and dinner parties.

We invite you to savor the fruits of our labor, as we share our passion for flavors, hospitality, and the joy of bringing people together through food.
