BING GRE KIMCHIBing Gre Kimchi grew from a Queens, New York, operation founded in 1980 into a family-rooted kimchi maker now based in northern New Jersey. James Lee became owner in 2000 after his parents had worked alongside the company’s founder, Sung Wan Kim, and continues their tradition of making fresh kimchi for customers across the East Coast. The company’s naturally fermented kimchi is made without fish sauce, allowing it to remain vegan while preserving its Korean character.FLUSHING, NY
Goodlands Food CoFrom a single ghost pepper grown in a West Philly community garden, Anna Dausman built Goodlands Food Co., a woman- and LGBTQ+-owned maker of small-batch hot sauces designed around fresh flavor as much as heat. Its seasonally inspired sauces pair locally sourced produce with unexpected combinations, giving the line a distinctly bright, produce-forward character. The company’s name honors Woodlands Cemetery, where those first peppers took root.PHILADELPHIA, PA
