We here at the HZOB have been eagerly awaiting this issue of Chile Pepper Magazine to arrive on our doorstep for quite a while. Several weeks ago, Joe answered some questions from one of CP’s intrepid reporters, Renee, who wanted to find out some information on our take on hot sauces and hot sauce collecting.

The results are within the pages of this month’s issue. We have been long-time subscribers to CP, and have issues going back 10+ years. In fact, Joe has often said that he collects & saves his issues of Chile Pepper like some men covet their Playboy magazines.

Besides being quoted in this issue, we have to give out some mad, righteous props to Nick Lindauer for this issue’s Fireside Chat, not to mention his part in the hot sauce article. Nick looks so spiffy sitting there at the table with his bottles of hot sauce!

Speaking of media coverage, you may want to keep an eye on the TV listings for Emeril Live on the Food Network. Word has it that they will have some folks at the North Market Fiery Foods Festival this Saturday doing some filming, perhaps to film the follies of those of us who dare to participate in the chile pepper eating contest. (Yes, Joe will be abusing his taste buds for the adoring crowd!) We plan to spread the word about us & our blog while shmoozing with all the chileheads we come across.

So, the HZOB is growing by leaps & bounds thanks to some fortuitous media attention. Our media mogul status is well on its way. Woot!
