o you are an experienced tailgater and cook. You have competed in BBQ competitions, been the grillmaster for your tailgate, and have seen your fair share of grilling shows on TV. You are an expert at things like different cuts of meat, chicken, bbq, bbq sauces, and you might have all of the cool gadgets that go along with being a professional parking lot chef. But what do you know about Hot Sauce?! It is a condiment that is widely popular across the Tailgating Lots and perhaps the most used condiment in parking lot dares. You might know a good bit about the typical grocery store brands, but there is a complete world of hot sauces and brands that you may never have heard of. Recently, it came to our attention that we actually have an expert hot sauce maker and pepper grower right in our own backyard! His name is Smokin’ Ed Currie, and he is the Founder of PuckerButt Pepper Company, which is just down the road from our offices in Fort Mill, SC. He is a longtime pepper fanatic who started growing peppers to study their effects on cancer and heart disease. After a few years of study, Ed decided to take it to the next level by using his pepper knowledge to build his own hot sauce brand. We had the chance to talk with him about what he has accomplished thus far and got the inside scoop on a few hot Smokin’ Ed Currie sauces you probably haven’t heard of. We also collected a few interesting stats on the elusive pepper and what makes them taste spicy and HOT. Oh, and did we mention that Ed holds the world record for growing the HOTTEST pepper ever? Yep. THE WORLD’S Hottest PEPPER!

Fact:
If you find yourself in a scurry to eliminate the effects of a hot sauce burn, lime or lime Juice is actually much better for eliminating the effects of a hot pepper blitzkrieg. The citric acid in limes helps break up the molecules that make you wanna cry. Grapefruit juice works as well.
