JD has spent most of his life living in upstate NY and grew up in a house with a Mom who loves to cook, so he's always felt at home in the kitchen. Back around 1980 there weren't many sauces to choose from so he started out making his own. People on he east coast didn't know much about habaneros until they started becoming popular in the late 80's. With a high tolerance for heat and a love of all things spicy, habanero made it into the wing sauce and the recipe has been the same ever since. It's easy to make a sauce that is hotter than hot but flavor is where it's really at.

Spending a lot of time on the road, JD has become a big fan of ethnic foods. Indian, Thai, Caribbean, the list goes on and on. Introduced to Chipotle in sunny California has led to the Chipotle Garlic Sauce and a love of many spices has led to Caribbean Spice Sauce.

Many people wonder where the All Spice Cafe is located? It started as a dream to own a cafe one day and being a big fan of different spices and heat JD came up with the name All Spice Cafe where spice is more about the flavor than the heat. Soon to become a virtual cafe with the hope of one day turning it into the real deal!
