2012 Peppers at the Beach Bloggers Roundtable

2012 Peppers at the Beach Bloggers Roundtable

I love the Bloggers' Roundtable discussions that those of us with chile websites do every so often. It's not always the exact same lineup of bloggers in attendance for the conversations, but it's never a dull moment when you get us together!

These little meetings of the minds start a few years back at Jungle Jim's Weekend of Fire in Fairfield, Ohio. Since that event had historically the best turnout of bloggers, it was mutually agreed to record ourselves talking about about a vast assortment of fiery food-related topics, including the art of reviewing products to trends in the industry.

At this most recent Peppers at the Beach, the bloggers met at Chip Hearn's beach house after Saturday's show to do the roundtable. This time the lineup consisted of Ken Alexander of FieryWorld.com, "Firehead" Thomas Gately and Al "Buddah" Goldenberg of ILoveItSpicy.com, Brian and Marilyn Meagher of HotSauceDaily.com, and of course, myself. Also present was Steve "The Machine" Smallwood, who just an hour or so prior to this recording set new world records for eating the Most Ghost Peppers in One Minute and the Most Trinidad Scorpion Peppers in One Minute.

I cannot take credit for any of this other than throwing in my two cents every now and then. Like with previous Bloggers Roundtables, Brian and Marilyn Meagher captured the audio, and Al "Buddah" Goldenberg caught the discussion on video. I've embedded Buddah's two videos below, which are pretty much raw, unedited footage on which you can see a bit of "behind the scenes" stuff.
