After a weekend’s worth of hot sauces and other spicy fare, I am somehow still recovering a bit from this past weekend’s festivities. It’s not that anything in particular was overly stressful, but between all the travel, eating, and shmoozing…I am still just plain tired.

Quite simply, the DEFCON Deathmatch has become the premiere event of the whole Jungle Jim’s “Weekend of Fire” extravaganza. Last night was no different…and thanks to Scott Roberts for recording this great video of the event.

It’s time again to take our hot & spicy act on the road, and this time we are off to visit the land of beer, bratwurst, and cheese. No, we’re not talking about Germany…but rather the heartland of Wisconsin as we go to the Grand Opening of the National Mustard Museum in Middleton, WI. [...]

Tonight at 8pm on the History Channel is a replay of the awesomely cool episode entitled “Hot and Spicy,” in which the description is here:
Chili head alert! It’s time to get hot and spicy. First we’ll take you to the home of sizzling Tabasco sauce–McIlhenny Company of Louisiana, and to McCormick in Baltimore, Maryland–the leading [...]

This post was meant to get done before the New Mexico trip, but life got a little busy and it got pushed back on the “do list.” At any rate, CaJohns Fiery Foods has a new home and John invited a bunch of us over to see the new place right before the North [...]
