What a day! Had to take the hour-long drive up to my folks house so I can
go to my mother's office and show her co-workers how to use their new
scanner. After we finished up, my dad suggested taking a drvie over to
this store he knew of that specialized in 'hot' stuff.
After we all walked in, I thought I was in Heaven! This place had more
bottles of hot sauces than I have ever seen listed on web pages! I even
found some that I had only seen listed online... Sitting on the endcap of
the second rack was a little wooden box with a logo burned into
it...'Dave's Insanity Sauce'...opened up the box, and there was a bare
bottle with nothing on the outside but a yellow warning label, and filled
with a gorgeous concoction...I had to see more!
This place has everything. Posters, books (the office bought me a copy of
'The Hot Sauce Bible' as a thank you for the scanner instruction), gift
baskets, novelty items (chile pepper christmas lights, candles), you name
it! Oh, my! I could have gotten myself in real financial trouble in this
place! As it was, I ended up tasting something called 'Smack My a$$ and
call me Sally', which the store says is the hottest they've found, and
purchasing 'Endorphine Rush', 'Dave's Total Insanity Sauce', 'Stuffed
Olives from Hell', 'Fear Itself' (LOVE IT!), 'West's Best Hot Pepper
Butter', and a little vial of 'Pyro', which is nothing but ORC and canola
oil. Hooo-boy! Tried 'em all, and lived.
Turns out they have a web site, too, which I'll just have to link to the
site(s)! http://www.chilecauldron.com
Have a look, chile-heads! Heck, do some bid-ness, too! Ask 'em for a pen
if you send an order! :o)
Great place, as well as being my first experience in a total chile-head
store. What a great time! Almost had to be dragged away from the
samples!
