Ever since I was at the North Market Fiery Foods Show in February and tried a couple of products from The Madison Chocolatiers West, (Ricky was lurking amongst the chileheads there and giving out some samples) I have regretted not purchasing any while he had some. By the time the weekend was over, Ricky and [...]

While we’ve pared down our product reviewing compared to the prolific days in this blog’s past, we still DO them. However, we pick and choose ones that look interesting and/or just plain left-of-center from the rest of the marketplace. Enter Lucky Dog Hot Sauce Lucky Dog is a start-up hot sauce company which is the [...]

Sometimes I love this whole reviewing thing more than others. Today is one of those days. Sweet and hot treats have waxed and waned over the years. They were popular back at the 2001 Fiery Foods Show and then they dissipated for a while and now they seem to be popular again. I happen to [...]

The Albo’gator was a crowning achievement in collectables. It was made in a hand blown glass bottles with a skull inlaid in the cap, wax dipped, [...]

One of the best finds from this past Jungle Jim’s Weekend of Fire was the wing sauces from the fine folks at Bonfatto’s. Hailing from smack dab in the middle of Pennsylvania, Bonfatto’s is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from State College…which was once a possible relocation destination for us. Anyhow, Bonfatto’s [...]

I know there may have been fancier, more eclectic sauces at the Weekend of Fire show, but I ordered pizza last night and merely wanted a nice, simple and good tasting hot sauce to complement my dinner. I looked around, opened a few, and found Jerome’s to be the best fit.
