The 2015 Fiery Foods Show is in my rear view mirror but product reviews are where my real fun begins. I was going to say “work” instead of “fun.” That would be lying, though. Tasting and experimenting with the 26 sauces, rubs, and more that came back with me from the show is far closer to grown-up kindgergarten than digging a ditch.
DISC-IT: And the Winner Is…
One highlight of every Fiery Foods Show is the DISC-IT giveaway. That’s when DISC-IT founder and front man Nevin Montano draws the name of one lucky entrant to take home a brand new DISC-IT grill. This year’s winner was Evan Nevarez of Roswell, NM. He couldn’t make it back to the show so his brother picked it up for him. This wasn’t DISC-IT’s only big news from the 2015 National Fiery Foods and Barbecue Show, though.
My Mouth’s on Fire
Here’s a satirical tribute to our 27th annual National Fiery Foods & BBQ show by Leo Atreides…
It’s Show Time!
The 27th National Fiery Foods & BBQ Show invades the Sandia Resort & Casino this week, from March 6-8. Here’s a quick rundown on the schedule. See you there!
World’s Hottest Burger?
The Hellfire Burger from Xtreme Smokehouse isn’t exactly comfort food. There may be a good two or three seconds of warm and fuzzy when you first bite into it. That’s when the honeymoon ends and unadulterated mouth-terror kicks in. At a claimed 1 million SHU, the Hellfire may be the hottest hunk of ground beef ever tucked between two buns. Outside of the porn industry, that is. For point of reference, Ed Currie’s Carolina Reaper, the hottest pepper on Earth, clocks in at 1.5 million SHU. American pepper spray weighs in at 2 million SHU. Conquering a Hellfire Burger is asking a lot of digestive system. In fact, you should probably buy it flowers and wine before you even ask it to process the thing.
The 2015 Fiery Foods & BBQ Show: Less than two weeks to go!
Chileheads worldwide trek to the National Fiery Foods & BBQ Show each year for the latest and greatest developments in the worlds of spice, fire, and smoke. Here’s what’s new at the 27th annual show, this March 6-8 at the Sandia Resort and Casino
Syrena’s Seduction Jerk Sauce: Burn! Tested
Usually when someone writes “seduction” and “jerk” in the same sentence, they’re either referring to some jackass who broke their heart, or a date with a bottle of lotion. Not when it comes to the sweet awesome that is Pirate Johnny’s Syrena’s Seduction Hot Sauce, though. It’s a Jamaican jerk-inspired sweet heat that’s long on island flavor with a mild to moderate burn.
