Think your hot sauce can handle the competition? The SWLA Hot Sauce Fest is coming to Sulphur with food, contests, vendors, and plenty of heat. Who's brave enough to try the pepper challenge?

Hatch Green Chili season has begun at HEB... Ever year I think about creating a hatch chili hot sauce and then the season is over before I get around to it...

This year I'ma do it! What kinda flavor profile do y'all wanna see with it?

Two full days in the kitchen processing 120 pounds of garlic and ~200 pounds of assorted peppers into the fermentation buckets to get ready for Swla's Hot Sauce Fest in August. 90+ gallons across 7 flavors so far with more to come!

Hey err'body!

Two announcements to make, first I'll be attending the Swla's Hot Sauce Fest in August just over the border in Sulphur. It's the first (of hopefully many to come) and if you like things spicy, you should definitely make the trip to hang out and check out all the awesome vendors. (And help me win that People's Choice award!)

Which leads me to #2... It's time to get some stuff loaded into the fermentation buckets... What hot sauces that are currently out of stock do you want back? Soylent Green is a definite, but beyond that, which ones do you miss the most? Or do you have some flavor profile/combinations you'd like to see me try? Comment below and let me know!

Finally! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot will be back in stock this weekend at Central Mall Port Arthur at the DNCE Crafty Spring Market! Y'all wiped my already low stock out after I won the Community Votes award for Best BBQ and I haven't had a chance to make more, until now! Come get your hands on my local award winning (and almost national award winning) BBQ sauces (plenty of WTF and Black Gold in stock, limited quantities of Sweet Caroline).
