Chili head alert! It's time to get hot and spicy. First we'll take you to the
home of sizzling Tabasco sauce--McIlhenny Company of Louisiana, and to
McCormick in Baltimore, Maryland--the leading spice manufacturer in the world.
Then, head down south to see who likes it hot at the Southern Mississippi
Chili Cook Off. At the Chile Pepper Institute, taste the rare "Bhut Jolokia,"
the hottest Chile pepper in the world, and learn about the chemical substance
capsaicin, which gives the "Bhut" and other popular peppers their
tongue-burning heat. At Sol Toro restaurant in Connecticut, owned by
basketball great Michael Jordan, customers need to sign a waiver to dine on
their sizzling dishes. Go to the manufacturers of horseradish, wasabi and
mustard to find out how their roots and seeds deliver their own distinctive
blazing burn. Using the same heat many savor, we'll demonstrate the powerful
punch of pepper spray as a weapon.
