Hot Sauce Relief: A Great Day For Those Who Love It Spicy
We had a great turn-out to taste hot sauce and drink soda (GuS was in the house!) In addition to all the amazing hot samples, there were brunch bites from Jimmy’s No. 43. Thanks to our judges: Matt Levy (Levys’ Unique New York! “NY’s First Family of Tour Guides!”), Regan Hofmann (Our Town Downtown Journalist), and Clay Gordon (The Chocolate Life).
Winners –
“Tears of the Sun” from High River Sauces won the Inna Gadda Di Hotta Award;
NYC Hot Sauce’s Xtreme won Jane Fonda Feel the Burn category as hottest hot sauce;
Mike’s Honey won Gateway Sauce.

Austin and Wenjay were representing Local Roots CSA and offering up honey miso coleslaw made with Mike's Hot Honey!Speaking of Mike's Hot Honey, they were drizzling honey over crisp apples, goat cheese and walnuts. Delicious!
Would you like literature with that? Author Josh Bernstein took some time off from signing books to be present at the Hot Sauce Event. Thanks, Josh!
