 |
| Safdie Brothers "Final Draft" |
Safdie Brothers "Final Draft" is a Peach Habanero hot sauce made in small batches, by hand, under the label of "
Dark Matter Hot Sauce." Manufactured by
Chicago Johnny's, a Chicagoland company that makes Hot Giardiniera (a Chicago style pepper mix for sandwiches, pizzas, & the like) & seasonings, this sauce is made by hand in batches as small as 2 gallons. Dark Matter Hot Sauce is a leg of Chicago Johnny's founded to raise funds for the Dear Jack Foundation, a non profit organization whose mission is to support "initiatives and provides programming in order to promote positive health outcomes for adolescents and young adults (AYA), ages 15-39, from the moment they are diagnosed with cancer through survivorship." Dark Matter limits the bottles sold of each label to keep it fun & exciting for consumers. Most bottles are limited to 1,111 & are accompanied by certificates signed & numbered consecutively with sales. Once a bottle sells out it is retired & no longer available for purchase.

Working with Dark Matter Hot Sauce, Josh & Benny Safdie gave an image to be used as the face of the "Final Draft" peach habanero flavored hot sauce. The handwriting of Josh Safdie was even used on the label by digitizing his handwriting. The Safdie Brothers were excited to work with Dark Matter for the aspect of charity, but also were very involved in the process. The brothers tasted samples to make sure the hot sauce was up to their standards, they sent a pictuer to be used on the label, they sent handwritten text to be digitized for the label, and they are signing certificates to be sent along with some of the limited edition bottles!
30% of sales of each Dark Matter Hot Sauce bottle are donated to the Dear Jack Foundation. Dark Matter is a passion project for Jennifer Downey (owner of Brilliant Keepsakes) & Josh Downey (owner of Chicago Johnny's). Once we take out the donation, labels, boxes, manufacturing, website costs, et cetera, we don't make much. The Dear Jack Foundation is a great organization, I've come across a lot of 'Shady' or 'Bloated' organizations & I want nothing to do with those, Dear Jack is one of the great ones. Jen & I have a soft spot of cancer, as we lost our grandmother, Annette Downey, to it at a young age. We just want to do some good in this world.

We decided to limit the bottles sold because we aren't trying to make a quick buck off of any of the celebrities & bands we work with, we just wanted something fun & exciting to raise money for a great organization. We know some bottles will sell out quickly & some consumers will be competing to get those bottles, but it's all in good fun & for a great cause. We put a lot of effort into making our hot sauces & just like to know they are appreciated.
