ourbon Barrel Foods owner Matt Jamie’s business began at a bar when he had the idea to make a micro-brewed soy sauce, a product no one seemed to be producing in the country. After Matt taught himself how to make soy sauce, Bourbon Barrel Foods grew to include bourbon smoked pepper and paprika, bourbon barrel Worcestershire sauce, and other products. “I would really like to grow into a lifestyle brand where we are a gourmet food company that sells every aspect of Bourbon Country,” Matt says. He’s well on his way toward that aspiration with his business’ addition of a spectacular GE Monogram-sponsored kitchen full of more than $60,000 worth of appliances. — Victoria Squillante
