Crazy Steve's Cajun Cukes

Apr 20 2011 05:46 AM | JayT in Misc.

I have met Crazy Steve on a couple of occasions and he is a very dedicated man.  It shows in his pickles and salsas.  These are high quality.  The aroma is great, the texture is a nice crisp pickle, and the taste is, well, Cajun.  To me Cajun is a wild mix of taste sensations.  It is a salty, spicy, somewhat complex combination of flavors that I fell in love with many years ago.  While I admit I am not a huge pickle fan (I don't eat them by the jarful), I do enjoy them on a cheese plate, or on sandwiches and subs.  Inside the jar is not only pickles, but the other ingredients that make up this Cajun flavor as well.  There are pieces of celery, onion, and peppers in there for you to enjoy.  This is not a hot product.  Cajun is not generally considered hot.  Rather it is slightly spicy and "dances on your tongue" as a Cajun restaurateur once told me.  That being said, if you eat one after another there is sufficient heat there to make a chilehead happy.

Race City Sauce Works The Revenooers Smoked Hab...

Feb 18 2011 12:36 AM | JayT in Misc.

This review is a little more special to me than most, because of two reasons.  First, I know Chad, the owner of Race City Sauce Works, and second, because back when he was first trying to get the word out on his sauces he sent me some to try.  Now, I was not a reviewer then, just a customer.  That should tell you something about the quality of person making these sauces.  Okay, onto the review.  You get everything you want and more with this jam.  It has a great appearance, aroma, viscosity, flavor, and building heat.  The amount of uses I can think of for this are almost endless.  The obvious choice is as a glaze, as I did for this review, but there are so many others I will get to later.  When tasting this sauce, I used a teaspoon and ate the whole thing.  The spoonful of jam, not the spoon. It kind of melts in your mouth and the sugary sweetness turns to heat from the flecks of peppers that are left behind.  While this is clearly not hot like some of his sauces it does have a surprising heat level.  Now let me get onto what I like the best about it, what it does for FOOD!
