If you’ve ever read the bottle, you know that Secret Aardvark was founded by culinary genius Scott Moritz back in 2004. Though we lost him too soon to pancreatic cancer in 2009, we wanted to spend his birthday, October 28th, celebrating with some photos of him. Enjoy!

Scott’s life in food began when he entered a chili cook-off at age thirteen.
