Duke connection — Ken Jeong (warning — language usually gets “unguarded” at some point and NSFW):
Absolutely agree. And the variety of guests is phenomenal.
On the Ken Jeong episode I linked, he has a fun discussion of Cameron and K on wing 7 and a description of the Prince guitar episode I referenced before (that got him banned from NC) on wing 9.
Sean Evans may be the best interviewer out there. Legit.
Sriracha was the hot new sauce 5-6 years ago. What is it today?
Don't know about sauce, but Harris Teeter has Blue Diamond almonds on sale. I bought one each of their new Extreme flavors. Cayenne, Ghost Pepper, and Carolina Reaper. Will let you know.
Making good use of some ripe garden habaneros tonight.
Gotta give a shout-out to my new favorite hot sauce: Faya!Faya! by Adoboloco (Maui, HI).
Saw this on Hot Ones a few seasons ago (#6 spot IIRC). Really nice flavor, a blend of four hot peppers including ghost, Trinidad scorpion, habanero & jalapeno. Apple cider vinegar and tomato-based. Clocks in at 77,000 Scoville.
This has been my go-to all summer.
Giant stopped carrying my go to hot sauce so I ventured into the organic aisle to see what they had. Tried a few hot sauces but the brand that stuck has been Woodstock. Their habanero is quite nice; their scorpion is too hot for a condiment but has added some heat directly in cooking stews and curries. Solid stuff.
