I had a chance to chat with Blair Lazar yesterday for a short while and we were discussing his burgeoning enterprise with BIOCAP, and how well it’s being received…both by medical professionals and the public at large. He sent along the below message as a little “what’s up” information as to the progress being [...]

Global Warming – Fiery Foods go Mainstream in German-Speaking Europe
As promised, here’s a little report how chiles and fiery foods are becoming mainstream in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
About 15 years ago, it was tough finding even sliced jalapenos, nacho chips or other hot sauce than Tabasco over here. That started to change slowly in the [...]

I met the folks at Redd-Eye Brand during the Jungle Jim’s weekend and loved all their products. I felt really bad because they had sent some products to us before and we hadn’t had a chance to review them. I think at this point, all of our writers are just swamped like crazy [...]

At the end of 2006, our very own Chuk Hell did a review of a hot sauce from a local hot sauce maker in Austin, TX called Big Daddy’s Ass Burn. Little did we know at that time that their success story was still being written. Here’s an excerpt from a recent article [...]

One of the nice things about our trip to the Jungle Jim’s Weekend of Fire was the opportunity to again hang out and chat a little with some friends in the hot & spicy food world. In the spirit of this, we both spent some time hanging out with David Rock and his crew [...]

The Naga sauces keep rolling in and for heat lovers like me, this is the best thing that could ever happen. Scott from the Philippines just brewed up his own homemade hot sauce called Chili Scott’s Nuclear Naga Sauce and sent it to me for a small taste. It’s a very small bottle, but I’m [...]

Chileheads have always stepped up to the plate when their help has been needed in regards to helping out someone who’s had some tragedy in their lives. That help is still needed:
Fellow Chileheads,
I just wanted to let everyone know about a tragic accident involving a friend of mine. Here is a copy of an [...]

As a self-professed science geek who’s also a chilehead, I totally got into this next article. For those of you who have scratched your heads about how the food scientists come up with the Scoville numbers for all the capsaicin-laden stuff we eat, there’s some news worth noting. Check out this cool article [...]

Forgive me for going very much off topic here. I have a lot of friends in this world of hot & spicy stuff and I’m hoping that either they or their friends might be able to help.
I’ve reached my maximum level of frustration in dealing with a cat rescue person. I work with [...]
