Someone gifted my household a bottle for the holidays and we haven’t looked back. Honestly I had no clue it was originally made for pizza! We drizzle it on roasted chickpeas
I just used Mike’s on dinner tonight. I smoked a pork shoulder, then added Mike’s and butter when I wrapped the shoulder in aluminum foil. Even my 6,5, and 2 year olds loved it.
I first tried this in one of my Hello Fresh meals. It was drizzled on these lemon ricotta flatbreads with roasted Brussels sprouts. I was instantly hooked. I put it on everything now but definitely love it on a thin crust pepperoni pizza. Love Mike’s Hot Honey! ❤
my first taste of Mike's Hot Honey was a squeeze packet included with my pizza delivery. I've been hooked ever since!! excellent business model and tasty product!!
Mile ‘s Hot honey - good on waffles - tomato pasta sauce - oatmeal - peaches - mayo - other salad dressings - ham - sautéed veggies - cheese omelette with Brie . . .and still experimenting. Adding it doesn’t necessarily make anything sweet. Just a small amount often just rounds out, or mellows a flavor and adds a little kick. Just the right amount of heat for me.
Absolutely loved this episode. I'll definitely just subscribed to the channel. It's super inspiring seeing someone believe in their product wholeheartedly before anyone else does. Having the will to push through adversity isn't for the weak but the Founder Mike did. Kudos mate!
Crazy story! I also decided to open my pickle business when hiking in a canyon (in peru). Glad to see things are going great! I’m sure we’ll meet soon mike!
can't lie I'm a huge fan. The bar I work part time at, we put it on a coconut gelato and its fire. We also drizzle it over summer peaches and burrata, absolute goat of a snack
i lived close to greenpoint for years around then and the hellboy was my fav pizza by a landslide (even with a 2+ hour wait.) I had absolutely no idea mikes hot started at paulie gee's!
I've hot honey with chilis before Mike's hot honey, I was wondering why no one commercialized it. Some farmer markets have chili infused honey too, like decades ago
I'm surprised that pizza is the main suggested usage, because I've enjoyed hot honey for years before Mike's became famous, and the application was always fried chicken, not pizza.
He mentions you should focus on a single thing and that's true. initially, you should focus on a single thing. But as time passes you should diversify to decrease risk. Like "Oh no, the honey producers are striking due to xyz issues" or "Honey producers are increasing prices too much" etc.
Literally pleasantly surprised how good this condiment is! Especially on pizza. This weekend I used it on coconut shrimp mixed with mango chutney my goodness the seasoning was incredible!
CNBC make it really popped off in 2023, Olipop, Smart Sweets, Insomnia Cookies, Mike’s Hot 🔥 it is incredible how I have tried so many of these products and love them all. It’s a change of pace from the mainstream narrative of doom and gloom recession, etc . To see so many stories of successful entrepreneurs it proves the American dream is alive or at the very least that there is a strong economic force pushing this country forward. America the beautiful people 🇺🇸
to be honest when i first found mikes hot honey i was so stoked about it and after i tasted it it just cemented it in my brain even more i wont eat pizza now without it
Had the pleasure of trying Mikes hot honey at Paulie Gees before it exploded... Best pizza i ever had. I literally went back home and was telling everyone i know they had to try pepperoni pizza with some hot honey on it.
Tried this at a friend's house but on wings & I was hooked! Just got a bottle today! About to cook dinner now. For wings though. Will have to try on pizza another time.
Hey ive gone thru 2 of these pretty good but i just got the danny trejo or whatever one and its hotter which is better tho ive not tried the extra hots mikes. Regular hot isnt that noticeble to me
I like Honey flavored things but I just did not like when I made my own hot honey and tried it on a pizza. I recognize that in South Korea its a common condiment for Pizza to dip it in a little honey but I just don't like the taste that much. I haven't been able to get a bottle of this and its possible this recipe is a lot better than what I made at home.
I already prove a condiment like that with mozarela and pepperoni to be true I cook it, and man… it’s different or parma and cheese Brie too it’s fun do pizza.
The next thing that would elevate them is getting into fast food for chicken. Put them with popeyes or chic fil A and I guarantee they'd grow a ton again.

I love how excited he gets about the hot honey.
It's the people who make businesses and America amazing.
which books do you recommend?

I need two try the honey

Tastes great on Vanilla Ice cream and candied pecans! That’s how Paulie Gee’s in BK also serves it, for desert!
It’s is Incredible on pep pizza
@@chadbailey7038 HOW HAVE i NOT TRIED THIS??
Honestly, it is good on some fried chicken and fish2

Same here 😉
The neon sign is a genius idea. Why are breweries the only one doing that. Good job 👏
cause only bars or bar style restaurants have the aesthetic for neon signs
That neon sign strategy is really smart and innovative.
It’s so simple. As he says beers do it why can’t others.
I make orange chicken from scratch at home, and replaced the sugar with Mike's Extra Hot and was the most delicious version I've had. Thanks Mike.
That sounds good. First application for this thatbhas gotten me excited.

Or if you want to enjoy hot tea with a spicy kick just add hot honey instead of regular honey.
Really impressive and inspiring story a decade worth of hard work and perfecting the recipe.

Love Mike and Matt! Gave me an opportunity to help them early on - so you guys killed it!
Are you an investor?
@@donaldchinn4515 no - worked part time sales.
This dude is so chill
Crazy story! I also decided to open my pickle business when hiking in a canyon (in peru). Glad to see things are going great! I’m sure we’ll meet soon mike!
I hope that in the future hot honey is as much as a staple to have on the table at pizza places as red pepper flakes and parmesan.
Made sirracha honey chicken stir fry recently with Mike’s hot honey.. the possibilities are truly endless!
Been put hot sauce and honey on my chicken since I was a kid he turned it into a business 🤦🏾♂️
right? lol also if your pizza is only good with sauce on it, good luck to that business
@@berrex5152All Pizza has tomato sauce so your wrong af.
@@berrex5152honey isn't sauce 😂
@@dankk_edibles it's a condiment
@xdaisho but its not a sauce...sugar and salt are also condiments...would they be considered sauces? My point

I love this type of stuff. Not some AI startup just to get money. This is a real business with a measurable impact
Saw this and immediately went to get hot honey & a pepperoni pizza. Life changed forever!
i lived close to greenpoint for years around then and the hellboy was my fav pizza by a landslide (even with a 2+ hour wait.) I had absolutely no idea mikes hot started at paulie gee's!
Beautiful story. I will definitely be buying this. All the best Mike!
Just bought my first bottle tonight! Can’t wait to try it out!
How was it?
Interesting as you find it in the discount sections of walmarts
Nice to hear your story! I've been a fan for several years and have turned on all my friends to it. Best regards from Indiana!
Ohhhh, a STRONG core product. Damn, I think he's got this thing figured out.
Congratulations on the success of your business, Happy for you :)
The UTZ w/hot honey is amazing.
I still remember the first time I saw Mike's hot honey in the store, never looked back. A must have in the pantry.
I've hot honey with chilis before Mike's hot honey, I was wondering why no one commercialized it.
Some farmer markets have chili infused honey too, like decades ago
Yeah, it's definitely not new. He just had the foresight and money to introduce it to the market.
This guy is super impressive. Very inspirational.
They have a Pauline Gee’s in Columbus and the first time I had hot honey it rocked my world, great product
I love it.
Bought it at Pizza Nova in Canada.
Yummy!
We met him back in 2017 at the Bryant Park Winter Village. Cool guy!
where did you learn that? on television? what program?
Brazilians make very different but incredible pizza, I’m sure another trip to Brazil will inspire him again
We put Catalina on our pizza where I live. The sweet and savory combo works really well.
so nice to see well executed non-toxic marketing
That extra hot version is wild. Mike must have been guzzling milk while developing that one.
Really didn’t love it on pizza, but I rarely deviate from a standard tavern style pie. It’s very good on so many other foods though! Cool business!
Hot honey
What an AMAZING idea and product! Dang it, this thing can be used in any freakin dish! From sweet pancakes to savory cocktails!!!!
Seems like a novelty item worthy picking up if I remember this at HEB.
You know he's right. I'd just heard of it earlier this year when I started ordering pizza from Macy's in Buffalo, NY, and they had the big neon sign.
This on top of some
Smoked baby back ribs is the BOMB . Never tried it on pizza though. I’m gonna give it a shot now.
great content love from Toronto
He truly needs to take this international, I always take it with me back to Europe and the need is growing!
$40 million pizza topping... Bro, that topping better turn me to a Superman.
now im very intrested in how they make it or if they have outsourced it to others.
I love this. Been inspired
I'm surprised that pizza is the main suggested usage, because I've enjoyed hot honey for years before Mike's became famous, and the application was always fried chicken, not pizza.
Brilliant, well done Mike.
Never heard of “condiment man” as a profession haha but love it!
What a great story! Adding vinegar, genius!

I tasted hot honey on pizza… it is life changing 👌🏼 want to taste this particular hot honey though 🤩 branding is on point I must admit
Branding caught my eyes immediately.
to be honest when i first found mikes hot honey i was so stoked about it and after i tasted it it just cemented it in my brain even more i wont eat pizza now without it
A few years ago it was trendy to “save the bees” and boycott honey. Now hot honey seems like all the rage.
i remeber
Had the pleasure of trying Mikes hot honey at Paulie Gees before it exploded... Best pizza i ever had. I literally went back home and was telling everyone i know they had to try pepperoni pizza with some hot honey on it.
Sour cream with garlic taste is super popular in Scandinavia on pizza
what blows my mind is that people already have honey and hot sauce, but buy this instead. Marketing is the secret.
Try infusing hot sauce and honey...tastes nothing like this brands honey
Tried this at a friend's house but on wings & I was hooked! Just got a bottle today! About to cook dinner now. For wings though. Will have to try on pizza another time.
One of my favorite condiments!
Wow. I'm very proud that this idea started in my country. Let's go Brazil 🇧🇷🇺🇸
worth 40 million in equity valuation or generates 40 million gross income? either way, im adding honey to my shopping cart right now.
My staple condiment on & Pizza. I save my extra Mike's Hot Honey cups...heading Amazon!
Another good condiment?
Pesto Mayo
It goes amazingly well with Burgers, white-base pizza, Pasta, Lasagna and All-Things-Fried!
Another great one is...
BBQ Mayo!
ive been mixing honey and hot sauce for years but that's me, that show ive been doin it
9:44 didn't the ppl in the pizzeria create that category? You're taking credit now?? Lol. I'm gonna create hot honey too now.
First heard of hot honey in manchester at a brilliant pizza and tequila place, it was awesome
Hey ive gone thru 2 of these pretty good but i just got the danny trejo or whatever one and its hotter which is better tho ive not tried the extra hots mikes. Regular hot isnt that noticeble to me
Danny Trejo knows spice.
Its one of those things that once you try it, its such a obvious thing and you're kicking yourself you didn't think of it.
Its SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. I put it on EVERYTHING!!! lol
Don't forget Omelets.. 😋
Tried the Hellboy at Paulie Gee's once and I've been a MHH stan since
Never heard of it. I’ll try some

I've never even heard of them so it's still an isolated American thing in just a few regions.
Siracha and Frank's is still the main ones here
It's crazy we been making a sauce similar to this in the restaurant for decades. Dam
That could have been you
Hot honey is my favorite pizza topping ever
Bring it to the UK!
I already prove a condiment like that with mozarela and pepperoni to be true I cook it, and man… it’s different or parma and cheese Brie too it’s fun do pizza.
honey on pizza... why yes i will have hersheys on my steak.
Is that at Pauline G’s?
Yes it is haha. Love it
I gotta try this now.
Put it on pulled pork sandwiches and tortilla chips..Mind blowing
Not a fan of the product but it's an awesome story and I like the enthusiasm
The next thing that would elevate them is getting into fast food for chicken. Put them with popeyes or chic fil A and I guarantee they'd grow a ton again.
Its actually pretty good
They should partner with beau jo’s in Colorado! They already have the pizza and honey combo but not hot honey. That would be great!
it's good but every restaurant that has it uses way too much and the sweet honey flavor dominates the pizza. Use with caution please!
I’m gonna have to try it
Just mix some honey and hot sauce, drizzle on pizza
I keep telling people that USA eats spicy 😂 but no one believes me. Especially when it's sweet and spicy like barbecue 😋
Just made myself malawach with honey and checked RUclips while I eat and this video pops up...
I order some from Amazon tonight!
Love Mikes Hot Honey on fried chicken❤❤❤
Thank for sharing
Honemade is way better. Made hot honey for years now. You only need a little bit if the ingredients are all good quality.
