Amazing Stuff

Yarr! Time to splice the mainbrace

I've just come back from the North Market's "Cinco D'Ohio" festival and I'm stunned! Since September of last year I've been working on a hot sauce called "Precious Booty" (no not THAT booty, THIS booty). I've done something like eight revisions to the recipe over that time evolving from spicy ketchup to what I like to think is a fairly complex taste experience. Apparently the judges at the hot sauce competetion at the north market agreed. It took frist place today!

As if that weren't enough to make my day... A couple weeks ago I whipped up a little "hedge my bets" sauce that was completly different from Booty in case the judges hated Booty (hard to imagine I know). Amazingly enough "Purple Nurple" took second! I had really hopped to win, but to take both first and second is phenominal.

I sent some sauce home with the folks from The Hot Zone Online maybe I can beg a review from them.

I'd really like to thank all the folks that provided feedback and helped me refine the recipe. I'd also like to thank John Hard of CaJohns Fiery Foods for being so friendly and dispensing so much free advice.

Congrats Donovan on your win. CaJohn let the TTF Krewe know about your big accomplishment and wanted to offer my congrats to ya. I am jealous because I wish I could've been there too.

Perhaps you will introduce yourself to the TastetheFear table at the Weekend of Fire at JJ's. If you are interested in doing a multiple-person review of either one of your award winning products just send me an email and I will organize one for you. Especially the Purple Nurple one! I love the name.
