One of our very first contributors to this blog has made a triumphant return to the blogosphere…if only with his homemade hot sauces. Chuk Hell…musician, baker, rock star-in-training, raconteur, and hot sauce maker extraordinaire has sent us a tetralogy of unique homemade sauces to delight our palates and torture our taste buds. To this day, Chuk’s “Ogoun” sauce was the best-tasting and hottest homemade sauce I’d ever tried. It will be interesting to see how these new ones stack up to that one-of-a-kind creation.

This one’s title speaks for itself, but will this Naga sauce obliterate taste buds with reckless abandon leaving a scarred palate in its wake? Chuk himself says its hot, and I believe him. More to come with this a little later.

I had to chuckle at this one myself. I know it’s “New Year’s Evil,” but is it pure concentrated evil? If so, would that make Chuk essentially this guy:

Can’t wait to taste the sauces, Chuk. Thanks so much!!!
