"Hot sauce burns up New York
city"
The Simmons family can add
two more red-hot awards to their culinary
mantlepiece.
Earlier this month, Basil Simmons and family went
to New York to collect a first-place award for
his Basil's Fire and
Brimstone sauce. It captured
the international hot sauce category in an annual
competition put on by Texas-based Chile
Pepper magazine.
At the Sizzlin' On the Street
competition, held outside the New York Stock
Exchange, Basil's Fire and
Brimstone hot sauce also
scored a double-barreled victory by taking first
in both the Heat on the Street
consumer's choice category, and the Complete
Heat professional tasting category.
At the Sizzlin' on the Street
competition, more than 350 products faced off in
50 categories.
It is the oldest and most prestigious competition
in the world of spicy food, organizers say, and
it has become an industry benchmark. Basli and
family return home Monday.
