    Meet ‘Pepper’ Baumer, The Man With Hot Sauce In His Blood

    Every week at the Crystal Hot Sauce factory, just north of New Orleans in Reserve, Louisiana, two train cars full of mashed cayenne peppers arrive on the tracks just outside the plant’s back door. The peppers are then pumped into four 20,000-gallon mixing tanks where the mash ferments under the sweltering Louisiana sun into a slurry. After water and salt are introduced, the slurry is ground into hot sauce that’s poured into glass at 125 bottles per minute. “We are New Orleans in a bottle,” says Alvin Adam “Pepper” Baumer, the third-generation owner and CEO of Baumer Foods, maker of Crystal, from the floor of his plant where the scent of capsaicin (the chemical compound that makes peppers spicy) lingers in the air.

    Seed Giant Burpee Wants Americans To Garden Like It’s 1776

    To celebrate the country’s 250th birthday, the 150-year-old seed giant Burpee has been selling seed collections inspired by the gardens of Thomas Jefferson and Martha Washington, giving modern Americans the chance to grow hot peppers, cucumbers and watermelons based on seed varieties that date back to the American Revolution.  These seeds are thanks to George Ball, the 74-year-old chairman and owner of Burpee since 1991, who says “one of the most patriotic things you can do is plant a garden.” Burpee, which was founded 100 years after the country, in 1876, is still a mail-order business with some 35% of its estimated more than $110 million in annual revenue coming from mail and online sales. Burpee still receives thousands of orders via post with physical order forms and checks every year through its annual catalog, which is “the lodestar of the company and an annual event for gardeners.” Its vegetable, herb and flower seeds are also sold at more than 24,000 locations in the U.S. and Canada including Walmart, Home Depot and Tractor Supply.

  3. Inside Donald Trump’s Billion-Dollar Golf Empire

    Inside Donald Trump’s Billion-Dollar Golf Empire

    Donald Trump has a long history of embellishment around his success as a businessman, for years lobbying Forbes to pump up its estimates of his net worth—occasionally while using the name John Barron, a persona he invented—and even outright lying about the size of his penthouse and other properties. And when it comes to his portfolio of golf courses, Trump can stretch the truth like a par-5. Legal documents reveal that Trump has improperly tallied sunk costs, overvalued land and undervalued his membership liabilities—deposits he would have to return to his courses’ golfers if they leave the club—while the financial disclosure reports he has released as president and other public filings offer little in terms of how he arrived at the numbers. Trump has also inflated the size of his golf courses’ real estate. For instance, while he long claimed in marketing materials that Trump National Doral was 800 acres, property records show the resort is less than 700.

    Forget Elon’s Data Centers In Space. This Startup Wants To Float Them At Sea

    Among big future businesses Elon Musk is selling investors in newly public SpaceX is his plan to put data centers in space: solar-powered satellites, spread across a vast network, processing information in space and beaming it back to Earth. As pitches go, it has the clean geometry of a Musk bull case. It’s the kind of “I want to die on Mars, just not on impact” sci-fi idea the newly minted trillionaire is famous for. And it’s particularly well timed: the AI feeding frenzy is in overdrive, but the terrestrial data centers they require are becoming an unwanted menace in many communities, raising utility rates, creating noise and pollution, and generating few local economic benefits.  SpaceX hopes to begin launching orbital data centers in 2028, though its IPO filinggives no cost estimates for such a system. It does, however, include the kind of caveat that sits in a securities filing like a flare on the runway: The plan involves “significant technical complexity, unproven technologies, or technologies that do not exist or may require significant advancement, and such initiatives may not achieve commercial viability.” By Alan Ohnsman, Senior Editor Learn more about your ad choices.

    AI Startups With No Revenue Are Using This Tactic To Supersize Their Valuations

    Earlier this year, David Silver, the renowned former scientist at Google DeepMind, dialed into a Zoom meeting with a venture capital firm to pitch his new startup Ineffable Intelligence. Silver, who spent over a decade at Google, believed the current approach to training AI models wouldn’t work long term. He spoke for 30 minutes about creating digital environments where AI systems could learn on their own, without any human data or input.  Eventually, he told the investors on the call, AI will get so good that it will learn to use things in the physical world. “We can put AI in our toasters,” an investor recalls him saying.  That seemed like a stretch. “I was so excited for that pitch and it was just so absurd,” the investor says. “He just rambled, no deck, no memo.”  By the end of the pitch, the VC wasn’t convinced. “We left that pitch with more questions than answers. And it's so jarring to hear that from somebody with such merit and stature in the industry,” they say. ByRashi Shrivastava, Forbes Staff Iain Martin, Forbes Staff Learn more about your ad choices.
