I got the pleasure of staying with Devil Duck (aka Lynn Duck) and his wife while I was in New Mexico after the Fiery Foods Show this year. Lynn grows his own peppers to make his blend of homemade hot sauces, Nuclear Scurvy and Barnacle Remover every year. I was able to trade him some [...]

Baring the fact that I’m a heavy beer drinker and chili pepper consumer in mind, I ended [...]

As we await the arrival of our own bottles of Naga Concentrate from Mark, we thought it would be cool to bring you some cool information about the man behind both the Chileman website and the newest Naga sauce making its way to the shores of the U.S.A. even as we write. Besides knowing [...]

I had the please of meeting Ed Federovich of Sweet Sunshine Chili Sauce at the Fiery Foods show this year. After enthusiastically describing his sauces I was gifted the whole product line plus a very snazzy looking hat (which I am wearing as I type this review, thanks Ed!).
