Earlier today down at the Houston Hot Sauce Festival, a handful of chilehead judges tasted dozens of salsas in a Texas-style, shoot-'em-up salsa contest. This competition was held not only to give a few companies bragging rights, but also to raise both awareness and money for the Snowdrop Foundation, a worthy organization dedicated to assisting patients and families at Texas Children's Cancer Center.
Al "Buddah" Goldenberg of I Love It Spicy! and Carol Borge of the Houston Hot Sauce Festival had put this fiery foods bout together. Just a short while ago, Al had given me the results to post.
Salsas were judged in two categories: Best Fruit-Based Salsa and Best All-Purpose Salsa. The salsa has been eaten, the smoke has settled and the points have tabulated. Here are the results:
Best Fruit-Based Salsa
1. Montezuma Brand - Smokey Chipotle Raspberry Lime Salsa
2. Gunther's Gourmet - Spicy Ginger Pineapple Salsa
3. Red's - Mango Habanero Salsa
Best All-Purpose Salsa
1. Red's - Hot Salsa
2. High Octane Sauce Company - Tire-Smoking Medium Salsa
3. Silver Leaf International - Ghost Pepper Salsa
Congratulations to the winners! Just a few minutes after I post this, awards will be given at a special dinner down at the Houston Hot Sauce Festival.

Glad Gunther's Gourmet could be a part of this contest and happy to see the entry fees going to such a good cause.
Good job Buddah and Carol - thanks for putting in all the hard work to make this happen..
