This brand and flavor of hummus has been a household fave for many years now. It's NOT because it is the best hummus out there, but given the overall blandness of the American mass-market palate, it is some of the spicier stuff that you can get in the average grocery store. I have often...

Jay, I just picked up a bunch of sauces myself and may review some of them for the Hot Zone Online. I say may because I am perpetually months behind in my reviewing. That said, you may want to get some sauces from: Benito's Hot Sauce (www.benitoshotsauce.com) and Big Daddy's Hot Sauce...

I would absolutely LOVE getting some sauces from the Chilli Factory, but even my lustful desire for new and spicier hot sauce has me choking at the sheer dollar figure of the shipping charges from Australia. GACK!

You're absolutely right. Being hateful or nasty in your reviews doesn't make you better than anyone else. It does, however, make you petty, juvenile, uncouth, and a whole bunch of other adjectives that I could choose to describe that are less-than-positive. Immature might be the nicest...

Wow, I love a good nerd fight about chile peppers and extract. Been a while since I posted in this forum, so here I can jump in with both feet. Z, I don't know what your issue with Dave's products are. I really don't. Having met the man in person, and discussed his products, he definitely...

We agree with Buddah. A way to donate without necessarily being in on the bidding would be great.

Thanks to everyone who offered to participate in this contest, and even to those who entered a comment here. However, we were only able to consider comments left on the actual blog site...of which we had 175+ of them. Many of the ones here were good and would have been contenders, but the...

These are all great entries, but you have to enter them on the blog site to be in the contest. This way, we can more easily keep track of all the comments. Don't forget to come back to THP when you're done, tho! ;) - Joe

If you thought the last "caption this" that we offered was titillating, wait until you see this next one. This time, we have definitely procured a prize that will go to the winning entry. Details of the contest available at the Hot Zone Online, so click on the signature link below and check it...

Here's another chance for you to lend your comments/creativity/sarcasm to a contest featuring your very own imaguitargod himself. I won't leave a crosslink here, but simply click on the link within my signature below and that will take you to the front page of the Hot Zone Online where you...

No can make it, amigo. Lack of available child care options this weekend, so we're pretty much stuck at home for much of the weekend. - Joe

Dude, how can you realistically rate extract sauces for taste? The whole point about extract sauces is that they're all about heat and pretty much devoid of anything that resembles taste like you could say about other sauces. - Joe

If you like the Fatalli Fire, you really need to try his sauce called Scorch. I'm not as much of a fan of the fatalii pepper in some sauces, but I adore it as part of the Scorch sauce. Add in some red savinas and orange habs, and it makes for a pretty darn good sauce that has a bit of attitude...

Rob, the company's owner, sorta dropped out of sight (or offline, at least) shortly before his company lost any visibility on the Internet. It's a shame, really, because we really liked all his sauces quite a bit and they had received some national notice. This is indeed a damn good sauce...

I'd vote for horseradish as well. Wasabi is a good choice, assuming you can make it hot enough like real Wasabi and not some of the poseur products out there that think they're hot. - Joe
