Attorney Breathes Fire into Legal System with Hot Sauces
Published on: October 18th, 2009 by: judicialflavor

(OPENPRESS) October 18, 2009 -- Looking for something hot and saucy to spice up your legal life? Wendell Peters, an attorney in Auburn, has all the ingredients you’ll ever need. After a brief recess from the trial of selling award winning hot sauces, Judicial Flavors products are back in session.

Peters is the creator of the line of hot sauces called “Judicial Flavors.” And with names like “Lawyers Breath”, “Shyster sauce”, “Contempt of Court” and “Under the Influence” the fiery sauces clearly are designed to play off the public’s penchant for making fun of attorneys.

“Fortunately your breath will not reek of broken promises and hidden clauses” reads the label on “Lawyers Breath” hot sauce. And for the “Contempt of Court” flavor, expect nothing but culinary delight even “while the actions of your lawyer may leave you in contempt.”

Peters, who operates a sole practice that focuses on criminal defense and family law, offers no apologies for giving his profession some good natured ribbing. “If you can’t make fun of yourself, you’re going to be kind of bored,” he says. Besides he adds, he never expected to market his sauces exclusively to the legal community but “to the American population that has this rash about lawyers.”

For Peters, the real inspiration came from growing up in Texas and helping his mother with pickling chores in the kitchen. These days the graduate of Sacramento’s McGeorge School of Law continues to pickle everything from peanuts and asparagus to sauerkraut. Peters professional life never turned toward food until the idea of Judicial Flavors came to him. At various times he taught fourth graders in Oregon, worked in a North Carolina medical office and tried to be a computer entrepreneur with a brother in law in Dallas. In 1985, he enrolled into the night program at McGeorge School of Law.

It wasn’t until he was “messing around in the kitchen making all kinds of sauces” that Wendell happened upon the idea to focus on hot sauce. After a few years of testing out his concoctions on fellow lawyers, Wendell went home to Texas to compete in the first international Chile Expo. In his first competition in 1997 he walked off triumphantly with a “Best of Show” award for his sauces.

Over 60 other honors and awards have followed since the first sauce was created. The delectable “Lawyers Breath” is the first offering and it’s such a delicious sauce that it was the exclusive dip served in the luxury suites at the 1998 Super Bowl. The gourmet sauces presented by Judicial Flavors are sold in retail stores in many states but can now be found again online at judicialflavor.com
