Barhyte Specialty Foods’ Saucy Mama Creamy Horseradish and Poco Dolce’s Super Chile Toffee Squares were separated by less than a thousandth of a point, leading to the first two-way tie in Scovie Award history. The top award in advertising and marketing went to Crazy Uncle Jester’s for their product logo and labeling.
Dave DeWitt, the “Pope of Peppers,” is still impressed after all these years. DeWitt states, “This year I was blown away by all of the great submissions. Some are out of this world and the new ideas and flavors never cease to amaze me. The competition gets better and better each year.”
