AT QUEST FOR FIRE...
... I believe that cooking is more than just food—it’s an adventure, a journey, and a way to connect with the world. Inspired by the ancient pursuit of fire, our brand is built on the idea of harnessing energy, wisdom, and your best self amid life’s chaos—through cooking, adventure, and exploration.
Our passion lies in creating bold, authentic, and globally inspired flavors—from handcrafted marinades, rubs, and hot sauces that bring the world’s spice traditions straight to your kitchen. Each product is crafted with care, using real ingredients and time-honored techniques to honor the cultures that inspired them.
My happy place has always been the Sierra Nevadas—from Lone Pine to Bishop, Mammoth Mountain, and of course the June Lake Loop in the Inyo National Forest. That’s why I created 395 CHILI CO., a sub-brand under Quest For Fire, inspired by the spirit of adventure along Highway 395. Our products range from artisan sea salts and bold hot sauces to dry rubs, signature sea salt blends and merch—everything you need to elevate your meals whether you’re grilling at camp, cooking in a cabin, or enjoying the outdoors.
The legendary Highway 395 stretches from the Mojave Desert all the way to Oregon, weaving through some of the most breathtaking landscapes—lakes, streams, camping spots, hiking trails, and mountain views you’ll never forget. My personal goal is to see 395 CHILI CO. products on shelves at local stores all along the 395 corridor, so visitors can take home a taste of the adventure. If you’ve never made the trip, I highly recommend exploring it for yourself.
