Water As An Ingredient In Hot Sauce

CaptCaliente didn't know what he was getting into.  One of the videos on his website is of a wing challenge a LandSharks bar and grill.  Go to 22:00 for the actual wing challenge.

Hahh. I always put my money where my mouth is. Filmed cooking shows...of me and my friends cooking, been talking about food and making it for years...all online. Yes, I realize that many do it. Which is the point. Food brings people together. It should never tear them apart. I love to support the culinary arts and I love to participate in them.
 
And I guarantee this, no one will ever say about my sauces...they are mediocre. They may not be the best you ever had but they are damn good. That's just a fact.

Mediocre- the very best of the worst, the very worst of the best, commonly known as the cream of the crap.
 
 
 
 
I think the Captain has not been exposed to the plethora of other sauces we on THP have been lucky to have enjoyed over many years, and doesn't realize what he is up against.  He seems to be a BigFish in his little pond of exposure.  Might just be a bit of wake-up realizing the hot sauce world is a whole lot bigger than that sand lot.
 
 
 
 
I am the best selling salsa at my local stores. 
 
Sounds great, right?  Ok, bragging rights, until I reveal the local population is less than 4,000 people full time, the pass closes in the winter, they have no other fresh salsa makers, but my locally made fresh salsa outsells the BrandName refrigerated (with preservatives) salsa about 3:1.   And that sales is about 100 units per week! 
 
So, me saying I'm the best selling salsa is correct.......but it has to be in perspective.

I do not believe this to be true. I am not delusional. Yes, lots of people make great sauces. I love that. I'll try any of them and probably love most of them. This is a mischaracterization to be sure.
 
BTW, that was a great time in Destin. And the owner of Landsharks Pizza is no joke. That dude makes crazy spicy food all day long. He makes a pizza sauce that will blow your spicy head off. And his customers love it. I can't say enough good things about the owner Brian and his spicy food. Those wings were hot as hell.

They may be hot as hell, but by doing the math, there is no way the wings in sauce are 3 mil SHU.

I hope it is not a mischaracterization,  it is not intended as such.  If I posted wrong wording, please let me know and I'll edit the posts to reflect correct grammar.  Thanks.

So what? When it gets that hot, it's just hot. I can't blame him for marketing it the way he does. It's all in good fun. It's consumable and crazy hot. But that doesn't translate as well as 3 mil. But I get your point.

The mischaracterization is that 'I do not have a clue about what is going on.' Or that 'I do not realize that this is a forum of very skilled hot sauce makers.' I get it. I love it. It isn't about grammar on your part. It is a wonderful forum with great folks. There are some that seem very irritated by my presence here. I wish that I could change this perception.
 
At the end of the day. I'll never stop growing "gourmet" superhots and I'll always make delicious hot sauce.

I think you are misunderstanding me. To put it in superhero terms. This is the Hall of Justice. You just joined the Justice League. No one here needs to be converted, saved or instructed, this is the clubhouse for people like you and I. Sit back, relax, crack into whatever high-end libation you are into, and enjoy playing with the other crazy chileheads.
