Well, about two weeks ago I got this at the Fiery Foods show in Columbus. It’s Chuck Evan’s Montezuma Smokey Chipotle Squash, Black Bean and Corn Salsa and I received it from a very eager Chuck Evans. This is his brand new salsa and according to him, “It’s probably the most nutritious salsa you’ll ever [...]

It’s always a pleasure getting test sauces from industry hopefuls. Often they are way crafty and sometimes so inventive I’ll have to bust out the thesaurus just to find the words to describe them. Such a sauce always comes from Lynn “Devil Duck” Duck (no, I didn’t type Duck twice, his last name really is [...]

Time to expand the chilehead world view for those of us here in North America! Thanks to Mick from Ol’ Man Stillmanz Boutique Chilli Sauces, we have a report from the 2008 Hot Sauce and Fiery Foods Festival (called the HSFFF) from the land Down Under. Mick’s story about the show is pretty [...]

One of these was done by Heather, who is a Columbus [...]

Looks like the Brits are having a little capsaicin envy. Known for being the home of some spicy curries (and we tried some when we visited there in 2000), apparently their “ultimate curry” could use a grain or two of pure capsaicin. Check out this blurb from the UK Daily Mail:

What is the [...]

Moving on to the next tasty potato chip from the Kettle Brand line are these Spicy Thai chips. What’s so cool about Kettle Brand is that these chips weren’t even on the list of five varieties we were asked to try that were on their “hot & spicy” list. As it turns out, [...]

Several weeks ago, we received a package that contained a selection of hot & spicy potato chips from Kettle Brand Chips. In addition to looking forward to having the chance to taste them, we had hoped to be able to crank out a few reviews on those. Unfortunately, we nibbled those chips to [...]

With a dearth of actual pictures of the chili chefs and their creations from the Professional chili cook-off, I just wanted to scribe a little about the process of being a judge for one of these contests. This was the second year out of the past three (Linda had the fun last year) that [...]
