Sinaloa, located in northwest Mexico due east of the Baja Peninsula on the Sea of Cortez, is unfortunately most well known in the USA for the Sinaloa Cartel and the horrific acts of violence that they perpetrate. Beyond that negative association however the area is also known for delicious seafood and the birthplace of the…
As I continue my way through the sauces that I brought home from Mexico I decided to open up this bottle of Bufalo Habanero. The Bufalo brand, which is made by Mexican food giant Herdez, is often found in grocery stores in the USA, though typically it’s only the Bufalo Salsa Classica and the Bufalo…
Torchbearer can always be counted on to have some amusing bottle art, and the amorous onion putting the moves on the dapper habanero on this one is no exception. This is a sauce I’ve heard good things about, but one that was sadly languishing in the back of my cupboard waiting for me to find…
Hellfire, the title of one of the top 3 Disney villain songs as well as the sulfurous power granted to Harry Dresden by means of being half-possessed by a demonic coin in the Dresden Files series, just sounds pretty dang badass and cool. It also sounds quite spicy. Does this beef jerky live up to…

I’ve never followed the UFC or other fighting sports (football is quite violent enough for me and I actually understand the rules vs UFC and boxing) but from what I understand Dustin Poirier is a mixed martial arts UFC competitor and is generally known as a pretty nice guy as far as the sport goes….
I’ve been trying to mix up the brands in my reviews to cover as wide a base as possible, but I can’t help myself from going back to Butterfly Bakery of Vermont sauces more often than not. Between their consistent use of high quality ingredients, their insistence on making all-natural sauces, and their propensity towards…
While I generally don’t go for fruit-forward hot sauces, I do enjoy cranberries quite a bit, and they’re not the most common fruit or berry to be found in hot sauces. So far the sauces I’ve tried from Gindo’s have all been excellent, so when Thanksgiving rolled around I decided it was the perfect opportunity…
With the tagline of “got the guts? eat my nuts!” and the cheeky double-entendre in the name of this particular product it’s clear that Hot Monkey Nuts has a pretty slick marketing department and is going for an irreverent and fun vibe with their products and targeted clientele. According to their website the owner found…
