Down in the Tarheel State lives Tracy Campbell, and home to the Cape Fear Pepper Company. CFPC is one-stop shopping for all your hot sauce and spicy food needs, and there is a nice selection to be had…even if you have to deal with the eBay purchasing platform to get your hot & spicy goodies. Not only that, but there are a couple of hot sauces of his own that are worth your time and tasting dollar. You can see Jon’s review and our review of the CF Red Savina Hot Sauce as well as our review of his all-too-good Smolderin’ Chipotle Hot Sauce as well. As with all our cool hot & spicy food retailer compatriots, we dug a little into Tracy’s background and interests with his business. Here’s what he had to say:

One of the newest folks to contact us as one of our Featured Retailers is Mike from Gourmet Mike’s, an online hot & spicy food retailer who hails out of the great state of Utah. Mike’s store carries a fairly wide selection of products, with hot sauces from novelty ones to the major players like Blair, CaJohn, Dave, and many others. From salsas to snacks to BBQ, Gourmet Mike’s has a lot of really cool stuff. One thing we like is their gift sets. It’s a great way to get a selection of different products all at one for your favorite chilehead…even if it’s you!

For now, here’s what Mike has to say:

Chili’s Fire Pit is a brick & mortar hot sauce shop located within a few miles of the shores of Lake Erie in sunny Mentor, OH…just east of Cleveland, OH. During the fall of 2004, Joe spent a month in Cleveland doing a rotation in anesthesiology at South Pointe Hospital and made several trips to Mentor to go shopping there. It was such a cool place that we even did the family thing and made a trip with the whole fam to hang out with Don (Chili) and try a bunch of sauces, salsas, and other miscellanous goodies. If memory serves, we ended up spending a fair amount of moolah loading up on some great sauces for our collection…many of which are still with us to this day. We met up with Chili again at this past ZestFest, and wanted to give him & his business a little more exposure. Besides having his brick & mortar shop, Don also does mail- and online-ordering as well. We asked Don to answer a few questions about his business, what he likes to eat, and maybe to show some more pics we took of him from our trip to TX…
