NYC Hot Sauce Expo 2014
Torchbearer Sauces
The Torchbearers Sauces booth was hopping and super busy so
much so, I was unable to speak with my friend Vid. This year, Torchbearers had
some cool mini bottles of their sauce line and gift sets as well. The Zombie
Apocalypse Sauce was well represented. Based in PA,
Torchbearers makes Oh My Garlic, one of my faves on salads and veggies.
Torchbearers have a friendly staff of characters. Did you see the Torchbearers
costumes worn by some staff? Funny and priceless.

CaJohn's
CaJohn's had an impressive spread of sauces from mild to
extreme, tasty and hot to novelty type extreme heat. One of the products was
the infamous Black Mamba Concentrate, one of the hottest sauces I have tried.
CaJohn was at his booth, and I saw him throughout the day. I picked up CaJohn's
Chipotle Habanero Bourbon Infused Hot Sauce.

Puckerbutt Pepper Company
Puckerbutt has a great selection of woozy bottled hot sauces
and condiments. It was nice to see them again this year and get a picture with
Smokin' Ed Currie, Puckerbutt's President and founder. Puckerbutt also hold the
record now for the World’s Hottest Pepper, the Carolina Reaper (Smokin' Ed's
Carolina Reaper). The Reaper Pepper was this year's craze with many vendors
offering a new Reaper Sauce, which is extremely hot.

Deano's Jalapeños
Vermont
based Deano's Jalapeños offers a fine selection of Jalapeño Chips such as Sea
Salt, also a featured ingredient in chocolate bars they were selling. The
chocolate was smooth and had a tremendous kick from the chips and a pleasant
salty taste. In addition to the Jalapeño Chips, they sell a variety of Jalapeño
Bits for sprinkling on favorite foods.

One of my faves Hellfire Hot Sauce traveled to NYC from Wisconsin. Hellfire had
one of the most outstanding and colorful booths at the expo. Hellfire featured a wide

Hoboken Eddie's also makes chutney that should be great for baking and
cooking. The sauces I tried were all fantastic. Eddie and I hit it off and is a

More. With fresh, all-natural ingredients you cannot go wrong with Hoboken
