Our Story       

Gecko Gary and his Gecko Girl Cindy, met one sweltering hot Scottsdale Arizona afternoon in July 1986.  By the time the Sonoran sun set, their lizard lips met.  The Saguaros sang, the Javelinas hugged and the Coyotes cried.   "Leapin lizards...they're in love!!!!

Gecko Gary scurried off with his girl.  With only the diamonds on their backs, the two were determined to dwell in the deserts of Scottsdale. Tired of losing his tail from time to time, Gary would come home and prepare gourmet grub for his Gecko girl.  He loved to relax as he created fine tastes for their tongues. 

"Your future as a gatherer is good, but your gourmet talents are great!" said Cindy.  "Why don't  you  combine the two?"

"In good time," said the Gecko.   

Gary continued to climb the walls.  Afterall, two Gidget Geckos had hatched.  Thank goodness the Gecko Grandparents were close by.   They too liked Gary's gourmet grub.  " Your hot sauces, salsas and dusts are the best in the desert!" they said. 

So Gary got busy.  He scampered from Camelback to Mummy Mountain...from the McDowells to Pinacle Peak.  The desert was dancing!   He blended the robust flavor of Roasted Red Pepper and Red Ripened Jalapenos in all of his own hot sauces.  Again the Saguaros sang, the Javelinas hugged, the Coyotes cried and the Snakes even smiled.  They loved Gecko Gary's gourmet sauces.  "It's Tongue Roastin', Tail Toastin' Good!"™ 

So now the Geckos' are sharing their tastes with you.   "Take a Lick! You'll Love It."
