Fat Cat Gourmet at Madeline's
Fat Cat Gourmet is a small-batch hot sauce and condiment maker based in Orlando, Florida. The husband-and-wife team of Eyal Goldshmid and Deborah Moskowitz started it in 2011, after years of Eyal cooking up homemade condiments from Deborah's garden harvest. The company name comes from their well-fed cat, and the cat theme runs through the playful product names: Hiss-y Fit, Cat in Heat, and Chairman Meow's Revenge.
The sauces are all-natural and built to prioritize flavor over raw heat, so the lineup runs from everyday table sauces to genuinely hot bottles. Everyday Green and Red Jalapeno cover the daily-use end, fruit-forward blends like Strawberry Serrano, Papaya Pequin, and Peach Maple Bourbon add a sweet-and-spicy angle, and a Florida Sauce built on local datil peppers and citrus nods to the company's home state.
At the hotter end, Cat in Heat pairs chipotle with ghost pepper, Chairman Meow's Revenge uses scorpion pepper, and Hiss-y Fit is a Carolina Reaper sauce for serious heat seekers. There is also a vegan bacon-flavored sriracha chili-garlic sauce. Most sauces are sold by the bottle or in multi-packs up to a full case.
