I attended the press preview of the 1st Annual NYC Hot Sauce Expo last night at Jimmy’s No. 43 restaurant, where I watched a panel of judges suffer through a whopping twelve categories of hot sauces, with flavors ranging from fiery and fruity to scorching scotch bonnet. While I greatly doubt my ability to savor over 100 sauces in one sitting, I look forward to sampling these products at my leisure in my home kitchen, with a number of safety drinks handy! 

Mark your calendars for April 20-21, 2013, where the NYC Hot Sauce Expo sets up in Brooklyn, New York’s East River State Park, featuring eating contests, hot sauce awards, fire eaters and other capsaicin-oriented treats!

Yeah, Rachel Ray! Loved having you there, Alexa!

Because nothing says "hot sauce" like beer and milk. And oysters and grilled cheese!

Why do you need hot sauce?

To give you a small jolt of capsaicin that will excite the nervous system into producing endorphins, which promotes a pleasant sense of well-being.
