Pepper Eating Contest

Three cheers to Bryan in his first ever hot pepper eating competition!! After passing the cherry bomb and Hungarian wax pepper he was handed a terrifying jalapeno for this third. It was half red with long brown cracks ("lines" they call em) down the side. As you know jalapenos can be all over the map and Bryan got a doozy. And it bested him.

Despite bowing out first, the event MC and staff were awesome to let Bryan talk about our sauces and the Kickstarter form the stage to all the attendees for almost a minute. Bryan gave out loads of sauce samples and business cards and our Instagram has been blowing up since. We have some interesting collaborations coming up next week as well with some other local food and beverage 'artists'. (By the way the hot pepper eating competition winner had to eat 5 carolina reapers. Second place lost due to unexpected stomach ejection.)

I hope you all can engage with us on the socials and share your love of hot sauce to everyone you know so we can keep having fun with all this and get these sauces out to all of you.

Personal note of sorts: I made a batch of Van Helsing on a whim at a party on Saturday because Bulgarian kebabs were made. I'm still thinking about how great that pairing was today..... mmh.
