Month: July 2013

In an upset of all upsets, Jungle Heat’s Madness trounced favorite Heartbreaking Dawns’ 1498 Trinidad Scorpion Sauce in last week’s round one bout. Jungle Heat was simply able to muster enough votes online to put it well over the top against HBD.

The next Round One battle will feature two sauces that I personally love. Golden Toad Habanero is a breathtaking sauce that’s almost like a “habanero in a bottle” (with a hint of garlic thrown in), while Hellfire Blueberry Hell is a wonderfully stinging and zesty product with incredible fruit undertones in it.

And now we have a return to hot sauce combat! When we last left off back in June, Race City Sauce Works Deadwood was duking it out Bonfatto’s Apple Pepper Jack Wing Sauce, with Deadwood winning the shootout.

The next Round One battle will have heavy hitter Heartbreaking Dawns 1498 Trinidad Scorpion taking on Jungle Heat Madness Sauce. Both spicy condiment makers have previously had dogs in the fight in this Ultimate Hot Sauce Showdown, but have not yet faced each other. These are two companies with potentially strong online fan bases, so it has the possibility of being another furious nailbiter of a bout.

Jerret Ulmer of HeadAddicts.com and I sauntered into the de.lish Cheesecake Bakery and Cafe in Florissant, Missouri a few weeks ago to see if we could conquer their Inferno Challenge.

The basics of the Inferno Challenge are this: eat an entire philly cheesesteak-type roast beef sandwich (the meat is cooked with ghost pepper powder, and is topped with pepper cheese, a thick, super-hot chile pepper powder-laden yellow-orange sauce, and liberally doused with large chunks of jolokia and scorpion peppers) within 30 minutes. No food or drinks or drinks are allowed within the first minute of the challenge, but after the 60-second mark water is allowed, as are the potato chips and dill pickle spear provided on the side.

Were Jerret and I able to handily defeat the Inferno Sandwich Challenge from De.Lish Cheesecake Cafe and win a free t-shirt and a photo spot on their Wall of Fame, or did this incendiary behemoth best us? Watch the video below to find out…
