A twisted heat

So usually I'd have to say, from past experiences, that anything with a wacky name or crazy or suicidal or whatnot, falls way short of expectations. However, I have to say, that there is one hot sauce I've found that blows your mind away, including the bottle it comes in as well. Crazy Jerry's Brain Damage is about as insane as the pink-brain top it comes with. The bottle looks cool on your shelf or table, but the taste is anything but cool. I'd recommend using it sparingly...at first. The heat and intensity comes on quick, but compliments many different types of meat. I had it on some pork loin the other day and it was a much better option than the traditional apple sauce condiment. I'd strongly recommend picking up a bottle if you come across it. It's pretty hard to miss with the radical label and hot-pink top and I promise it won't disappoint.

A lil bit of Texas flair

Usually when you get something in a gift bag it's either something new that they want to push or something old that they've got too much of. However, I can honestly say that I found the exception to the norm. This past year, while working the Sun Bowl in El Paso, TX there was a nice little surprise in our gift bags. Along with the lovely bookbag, chips, salsa, queso, etc... was a bottle of hot sauce from the El Paso Chile Company known as Hellfire and Damnation. It's got a wonderful kick and even has a pretty attractive looking orange/red color to it. It's a habanero hot sauce which lives up to the "hot sauce" name. Looking at the ingredients it's all very natural items and nothing fake, which is always a big plus. I'd definitely recommend picking it up if you're ever out in that western part of Texas. It's a great addition to any style tex-mex dish, tacos, fajitas, etc... I'd give it two thumbs up.
