Hard to tell whether or not this is an internet marketing stunt or if it’s a genuine chilehead trying to make a new resource for fellow chileheads. I guess time will tell whether this blog is a flash in the pan in the hot and spicy world or whether this new blog will have any staying power. For now, do check it out:
What Lights Your Fire?
Chilli Heads Unite
Brattleboro, Vermont 11/18/2008 05:07 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)
Marketing mad man and List Building Guru Telllman Knudson is at it again. He wants to know what lights you up. He is putting the call out for all Hot sauce lovers to send in reviews of their favorite Hot Sauces. The CEO and founder of Overcome Everything Inc. has created a wiki “to provide a place to talk about what we love most in this world…HOT SAUCE.” He is hoping for outlandish reviews of the hot sauces we love and hate.
There is a large subculture of individuals who are fanatical about hot sauce and Knudson hopes they will get on board and share their tastes. “This is about a community representing, and it is also about the gathering of a unique group of individuals who like to live on the extreme side of life.”

We don’t use, or even see, the Mad Dog products as much as we do some others…but it’s hard to miss this headline when it pops across your screen, courtesy of PRWeb.com:
357 Mad Dog Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce World Record Setting Pepper Comes to Mad Dog World of Hot Sauces
From the creator of the much acclaimed Mad Dog 357 Hot Sauce comes a new edition for heat seeking sauce lovers using the world’s newest champion of hot peppers - the Ghost Pepper.
Sudbury, Massachusetts (PRWEB) November 10, 2008 — Ashley Food Co., creator of the world’s hottest Mad Dog 357 Hot Sauce, has introduced a hot new edition: Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce — a blend that’s bound to warm the hearts and obliterate the tongues of hot sauce collectors everywhere.
Master Sauce Crafter and Creator, David Ashley, whose sauces and extracts have won the accolades of heat seekers around the world, says, “In the world of hot peppers, the Ghost Pepper is the king the of hill. It was only natural to bring it to this super hot line of all natural Mad Dog 357 Hot Sauces.”
Called the Bhut Jolokia in its homeland of the Assam Region of Northeastern India, this pepper was first discovered by Paul Bosland, Professor at New Mexico State University, Regent. Guinness Book of World Records confirmed the finding that the “Ghost Pepper”, as it is translated, delivers 1,001,304 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) making it nearly two times hotter than the Red Savina, the prior champion pepper of heat.
Of course the Ghost Pepper isn’t the only ingredient that makes the new Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper a hot new contender for heat lovers. The bottle, that can be seen and purchased at ashleyfood.com, also boasts a unique holographic label with ghosts that appear to jump off the bottle. Combined with the fact that the warning label reads loud and clear about the extreme caution, it’s easy to see why this sauce will have people seeing their own ghost.
As David Ashley puts it, “The goal has always been to make hot sauces that are not just hot for hot sake, but instead, give heat lovers and sauce collectors sauces with complex flavor combined with true heat.” It’s one of the reasons why David Ashley says he also has his sauces measured using high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC); to not just state the heat, but to prove it as well.

Whether you kinda like, or really like, Blair’s hot sauces, you have to admit that hanging out with a rock star is pretty damn cool. Blair’s new sauces are now available online on his site. It’s also cool to hear that Blair’s website will be undergoing a big, much-needed renovation, and hopefully that will herald some more new products coming soon from Blair. Check out this story from his most recent newsletter:
BLAIR AND ZAKK WYLDE!
Dear Chilihead,
My name is Chris and man do I have a story to tell you. I’ve been working with Blair on many things for several years now. I’m a “behind-the-scenes” guy. Let’s rewind a week or so and relive what it was like to meet Zakk Wylde.
Blair asked me to do a casual photoshoot at his home where Zakk Wylde and his wife would be dining with Blair and his wife. They had already spent several hours together by the time I came through the backdoor.
When I came in, I was greeted by everyone. In particular, Zakk arose from his seat like a mighty viking warrior and came over for an up close handshake and one of those half-hugs that men do. Zakk is not a short guy at all he is tall and huge but for those of you who don’t know Blair in person he’s about 6′4″.
I set up my gear and could hear everyone getting along real well and that helped calm my nerves a bit. It’s not every day you’re asked to come over and photograph a music legend. And this guy IS a legend. (Pick up any of the records he’s done with Black Label Society or Ozzy Osbourne. Then try to play one of his licks on your guitar. Yeah, I didn’t think so.)
I ran around the house picking up guitars, Berserker Hot Sauce, knives, and a giant glass Death Sauce bottle. What ended up happening was nothing short of an action movie.
After my job was done and everyone stopped laughing from the insane movie we had just spontaneously shot, it was time to go outside for a breather. Blair and Zakk chatted next to Blair’s Dodge Challenger. The setting just looked right. Two guys from New Jersey that took their respective talents and really made the most of them. It’s inspiring as hell!
After Zakk and his wife departed, I had a chance to talk with Blair about all that happened that night. I left by saying “When I wake up tomorrow morning, I am checking my camera right away to make sure tonight was real.”
It doesn’t get any better than this, folks.
The new extremefood.com will be launching OCTOBER 31, 2008 and I am sure more on this story, and others, will be posted on the new Blair Blog.
Your behind-the-scenes pal,
-Chris
chris@extremefood.comPS Blair asked me to let you know to look for an email in the next few days to order the 2008 VERY LIMITED EDITION of the Halloween Reserve.

A Good Deed in a Troubled World
It’s hard to believe that we have been at war with Iraq since 2003. It doesn’t make the front pages as often as it used to, but never the less American soldiers have given up their American way of life, their homes and families to obey their orders. Our friends at the Carolina Sauce Company, www.Carolinasauce.com have been warming up the troops and will continue to do so as long as they can afford. We chile heads have been called to duty. Everyone has opinions about the war, whether right or wrong. Our fellow Americans did not ask to turn their lives upside down. Please continue reading and help put a smile on our troops faces.

Steve Burnham is one of our esteemed writers on this blog. When not making music or stuff in his smoker, he also makes some pretty darn good hot sauce (see Steve’s Blue’s BBQ website.) He’s been recently re-vamping his hot sauce labels and also has a swanky-cool new t-shirt as well. Check these out:
Feel free to check Steve’s website out for yourself. Maybe pick up some hot sauce or a t-shirt while you’re at it….

The Mt. Horeb Mustard museum is home to more mustards than you can shake a stick at…literally. We like ‘em because a lot of them are of the spicy variety. Looks like they’re getting ready for some new digs:
It’s official: the Mustard Museum will move to Middleton, Wisconsin, in October 2009. News of the move hit the wire services about a week ago and even made the pages of USA Today. To see a local TV news story, click here.
The historic building at the corner of Hubbard Avenue and Parmenter Street in downtown Middleton will undergo extensive renovations to make the site into a true mustard palace. “The new Mustard Museum will feature interactive exhibits and the total mustard experience,” says Curator Barry Levenson. The Mustard Museum has been part of the Mount Horeb streetscape since 1992 and, according to Levenson, it was a difficult decision. “But this will be the best thing for the Mustard Museum and will allow us to showcase the king of condiments as it was meant to be.” Middleton is just west of Madison and only 15 miles from Mount Horeb. It was named the best place to live by Money Magazine in 2007.
So, mustard fans, what shall we call the new museum? Should we keep the name “Mount Horeb Mustard Museum?” Perhaps something totally different? “National Mustard Museum?” Maybe just “The Mustard Museum?” Or do we take a large bundle of money for naming rights (”Buford T. Dorkenheimer’s Mustard Museum” - suggested price: $500,000)?
Check out their catalog and see all their spicy mustards!!
