Tennessee Bob’s Rancho Del Fuego Hot Sauces

Robert D. Vasvary’s

Tennessee Bob and the Pepper People of

Rancho Del Fuego

The rules have changed at El Rancho Del Fuego between man and Earth’s creatures. This enchanted place brings humans and earthly species down to the same playing field.  It is here where Tennessee Bob and his residents co-exist in a symbiotic manner, sharing the same planet. Time and space will never be the same. From many different time periods come this cast of Capsaicin Marauders in the form of Pepper People. They all suffered tragedies in their past human form and they appear here on the ranch re-incarnated from many different eras throughout human history.

The first time Bob realized he could actually talk with The Pepper People was upon the arrival of Jalapeño Jack. Of course Ole Bob thought he had lost his mind, until his family and everyone on the ranch could talk with them as well.

Outside the gate the rules do not apply. But within the ranch they all enjoy each other as if they were one in the same; just another of God’s lovely creations. It is almost like the relationship between demi-Gods and the greek Gods themselves. It is here where the most spicy soldiers of humanity come together to live in harmony with the earth.

These savory characters are nothing less that a circus act in the eyes of the modern world but to them, they are the  last earthly crew of the Jolly Roger! The rumor has it that this is the resting place of the worlds El Dorados and they have taken up arms defending the fortress from outsiders, reincarnated as peppers!

Throughout the years this band of gypsies will have battled iguanas with a palate for capsicums, killer vines, rouge tomatoes, fiery soldier ants and even fierce fungus. I hope you enjoy these fantasy tales! But first allow me to introduce you to the cast!

Bienvenidos mi amigos Calientes!

The Cast

Tennessee Bob

The founder of El Rancho Del Fuego is Tennessee Bob. Straight out of the Appalachian mountains, this man lends heart and mind to humble, down to earth simple folk. Campfires blaze while songs are sung, folks play and dance around the fire. That is the mind of this homegrown Hillbilly.  More

Jalapeño Jack

Jack was the first of the world’s refugees to find his way to the ranch. Being that he is most renowned of all the Pepper People, he is the main char-acter. He just popped off the truck after a trip to the market. Once he showed up on Bob’s ranch, they all started coming. Even the local women started changing into sweet Bell Peppers. More

Jim Grim

Ole Jim is not one to reckon with. He is the baddest of all the Ranch-ero’s. He came to us from the Wild Wild West. He is a gambler, cowboy and a snake. When Jim gives you that look and crooked smile (somewhat like The Grinch) and the end of his lips curl up high, you feel like you just lost your More

Ty

Ty a Thai pepper. He is small and fiery. They call him an ornamental pepper, but he is not pretty like an ornament and he is definitely mental. He can really get Jim Grim’s goat. Ty thinks he is hotter, but that is not the case. Jim is still the hottest in the land. More

Rasta

Rasta is one cool pepper dude, but will burn you if you aren’t cool with him. This Scotch Bonnet pepper is hotter than Happy. Well Happy doesn’t think so. There is a rivalry here because both of these guys are so HOT! On the ranch they are always competing for the sweet Bells attention.  More
