This year at the Weekend of Fire, I was able to sample some of Captain Thom’s sauces. This was something I’d been remiss in my duties of a sauce coinsure, so I rectified it, and am so glad I did because I found his Thai Monkey hot sauce. Upon first tasting I instantly said, “it [...]

Ok, despite having the interesting company of Tom’s Roid-Rippin’ Hot Sauce bringing up some horrific images, I was thoroughly impressed with both the owner and the flavors of his sauces both times that I had met him. So, I chose two of the sauces that I felt best represented the company, Tapestry which is on [...]

I was excited to get this new Datil Pepper Sauce from the nice folks at Dat’s Nice Hot Sauce. You see, I grew up in the state of Florida. Yes, my rearing took place in the land of Mickey Mouse, fresh orange juice, wonderful beaches, a truckload of aging retirees, and tropical heat [...]

They had braved the elements to travel down from New York state to revel in our own midwestern winter. Besides having some truly groovy t-shirts, Heartbreaking Dawns offers a variety of hot [...]

In general, I can say that I am most enamored of habanero hot sauces as opposed to any other kind of hot sauce. So, it’s tough for me to turn down the opportunity to try just about any of them. That said, I accepted the privilege of reviewing the Firie Habanero Hot Sauce [...]

I have some really exciting products for review from Race City Sauce Works and for good reason. One is 98 Octane which is a Jolokia based product with the tongue killing Fatalii pepper thrown in for good measure. The other is a really unique Absinthe based hot sauce called The Green Fairy Absinthe Inferno. Let’s [...]
