I'm sure there are niches within the "Hot & Spicy" realm, but I get the impression that the major portion of growth in this industry happened in the 90s. It seemed the interest in spicy foods and the ability to market them over the net were mutual factors in fueling the boon in this industry over the past 10 years. I'd have to defer to those professionals who inhabit this list such as Jim Campbell, Firegirl and Chip Welsh for any advice they might offer to potential rivals... :-) =Mark Give a man a fish, he eats for a Day.
