I decided to taste a few of the spicy kettle chips currently on the market. Here are my evaluations of several, including my favorite, Hawaiian Style Mango Habanero chips.
Eat More Heat Speaks: Giant Corporations vs. The Little Guys
I recently visited the Houston, TX studio of Eat More Heat, where James Wreck, David Martin and I discussed (among other things) the opening of their new Houston hot shop called iBurn, corporate saucemakers, and how things are looking for artisanal sauce makers in the fiery foods industry.
James Wreck Sets Fire to Houston with iBurn

Dave DeWitt on Cookstr
While you’re there, take a look around. Cookstr does a great job of organizing some of the best cookbooks in the world and giving you quick access to their recipes on one easily searchable website. You can look recipes up by chef, ingredient, or recipe title. Each recipe also has stats for difficulty, prep time, and relative cost, to boot. The nutritional breakdown listed with the recipes is great information. It will not, however, assuage your guilt when you overindulge. You’ll just have to suck that up on your own, cupcake.

For my July 4th get-together this year I’m creating a refreshing, somewhat spicy, and very flavorful appetizer to serve my guests: Chile Lime Garlic Shrimp with Baja Gazpacho.
