Chili Pepper News

We’ve heard for a long time that hot sauce sales are on the rise in the United States. And, it wouldn’t take a lot of effort to see it, let alone believe it. Hot sauces are everywhere. It seems like every time you head to the grocery store, there’s a new one on the shelves. (Don’t worry, we’re not threatened. We welcome the competition… and all the delicious flavor combinations to sample.)

September 28th is National Drink a Beer Day. There are, perhaps, a few people that rarely imbibe alcohol throughout the year who will strangely reach for a beer on this foodie holiday Wednesday. We don’t really know who they are. Either you appreciate a good, cold beer just about any day of the year – or you don’t. And, it’s unlikely that you’ll opt for a beer just because there is a day for that. (There is a day for everything, isn’t there?)

Starbucks announced the release of their new Chile Mocha for fall and half a million bloggers threw their arms in the air. WHAT? But, I NEED the Pumpkin Spice Latte. No, really. People went wild at the news. There was no way that Starbucks could take away their beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte; no one would have it – and certainly not for a Chili Mocha. Who wants that spicy shit?

Who doesn’t love a stuffed, melty, gooey Jalapeno Popper? They’re just so delicious. Granted, they’re not terribly fiery, but they’re über delicious. The biggest problem (you know, besides the fat, they’re fried in) is that they’re just not big enough. Okay, okay, Jalapeño Poppers are fine as they are. But, there’s always the possibility they could be bigger. You know you want that. We certainly do.
