What do you expect? They're in Vermont and Chris Kimbell is a self-confessed hater of "heat."

I've sent several emails to him suggesting that he introduce a WSM to his arsenal so he can do "real" BBQ (although I was careful not to put it that way). I also tried to suggest that he shouldn't be soaking his wood chips. Didn't even get a reply. He does love his Weber kettle, and at least he doesn't use gas or "quick start" briquettes!

Yeah, you and me both. I have sent several emails about the "soaking
wood chips" dumb-shit advice. When he or someone there didn't ever
respond, I wrote again suggesting that he might want to stick with
things he REALLY knows about.

I looked at the label on the Sam's ribs again and it still says Canada-American, now are they referring to the continent or Canada and North America. Again, they are the best I have seen around here. Hormel is terrible.

I just found a recipe online that purports to be a clone of this.  I have not tried it yet.
 

Sorta Secret Aardvark Sauce (Habenero Hot Sauce)

Submitted by: Keith Orr

Keywords: Hot and Spicy, Caribbean, Condiment, Sauce, Easy, Food Processor

I thought I'd submit my recipe which is a clone of a locally available sauce here in Portland OR called Secret Aardvark Sauce.


Sorta Secret Aardvark Sauce

1 – 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes or roasted tomatoes chopped - include the juice

1 – 14.5 oz can of rice wine vinegar

1-1/2 cups of peeled and grated carrots (packed into the measuring cup)

1 cup of finely diced white onion

1/4 cup of yellow mustard

1/3 cup of sugar

2 teaspoons of Morton’s Kosher Salt

1 teaspoon of black pepper

13 small Habaneras – seeded and membranes removed. (This was 2 oz. of Habs before cutting off the tops and removing the seeds and membranes)

2 teaspoons curry powder

1 cup of water when cooking

5 or 6 cloves of garlic - roasted if you've got it

Put it all in the crockpot on high until everything is tender. About 3 hours

Whirl in food processor – Don’t puree until smooth – make it lightly/finely chunky.

Makes 3 pints - To can process pint jars in a water bath canner for 15 minutes

I've thought about making this with peaches or mangoes too, but haven't tried it yet

Got mine. :D

On topic: my favorite is Tapatio for mild heat and an all-purpose Tex-
Mex flavor. Cholula is good too, but I like Tapatio better. Frank's is
good in some things, Tabasco in others. Like if I've got a lentil or
bean dish going, and it's plain, I'll generally put Frank's in, but if
I've spiced it up I use Tabasco. It's hotter but more tart and
thinner. TryMe brand Tiger Sauce is really excellent on roast beef,
and I like Dave's Crazy Caribbean a lot on chicken. I've tried the
super-hot sauces, like Insanity and Endorphin Rush, and for me the
heat gets in the way of enjoying the flavor. I like something that
gives me a heat rush that takes a backseat to excellent flavor. I
guess I'm just not as macho as I used to be.

I'm not sure which guy you are referring to.  I Was at a ChileHeads Hotluck a
number of years ago that was filmed for a TV Food Network special.

Funny thing about Blair is that even though his operation is located about 7
miles from where I live, we communicated via Email for a couple years before
we actually met at the Fiery Foods Festival in Albuquerque.

I'll second the Tapatio. More heat and much better flavor than Franks or
Tabasco. Funny thing is I was down in a gourmet shop down in New Orleans a
few years ago and saw a bottle of Tapatio for sale for $7.50. We have a
large Mexican population here and local supermarkets carry it for 79¢ a bottle!

Dangit. Now I've got a jones for some eggs fried in goose grease with
Tapatio. Luckily I happen to have all that. <g>

THAT'S funny! Yeah, I can get the middle-sized bottle at Kroger's here
for something like a buck and a half. Of all the sauces we keep
around, though, it's the one that goes the fastest.

I've grown very fond of the Chipolte Tabasco ever since I dumped some
on some grilled oysters at Acme in New Orleans last November.

I like the smoky flavor coupled with the heat.

Castillo is my favorite sauce. My wife brought me back 6 bottles from
a cruise to Mexico. I always load up when I'm down there. If you like
the one with the wooden cap and you like something spicier this is

Reason I like Cholula is that you can taste the fruit, and the heat doesn't overpower the flavor.

That's also why I like Sriracha.   Good chiles and light on the vinegar.

Well I like things spicy. But this stuff is good flavor also. I don't like that fake scientist extract stuff. Never cared for Cholula that much to buy it. I think because it is everywhere here so I see it at all the restaurants. I like a little kick. Tabasco I like more as a salt an pepper type of thing. Not spicy at all to me.

I used to like her when she was low-keyed. Then she became ***PAULA
DEEN!!!***, and now she's all fake screechy exaggerated-accent

I made some breakfast sausage a couple of months ago and use Sriracha for heat.  It made some very good gravy for biscuits.  Good stuff Maynard!!

As I've said before... Gomer Pyle in drag. 

If they could provide sub-titles so I could mute the sound I might be able to stand it, but even the ads for her shows bug me.

Gomer Pyle's character came from North Carolina - where I bet they know
from which end of a pig a pork butt comes.

Jim Nabors - who played Gomer Pyle - is from Alabama, where most of us
good ole boys (and girls) know where a pork butt came from.

Jim's hot sauces are my absolute favorite. His Savina / Garlic sauce
is perfect in most any dish I'm looking to kick up, and his Chipotles
are amongst my favorite. I really like buying from him, and I really
enjoy his product.

For day to day eating, I keep a bottle of Cholua and Tabasco Chipotle
around when I just want some bright flavors in whatever I'm eating.
I've never had Tapaito or Sriacha, both of which I'll search out. I
do dig on Vietnamese chili garlic sauce, and keep a large bottle
around at all times.

Cheers,

-Andrew

She may not know her pork butt but I say go there, try that food, then tell me what you think of her.  I'm sure some of you have been and would love to hear about it. The Fried Green Tomatoes are the best!

I also like to mix sriracha with honey to make a sauce/glaze for chicken... and on Sesame Chicken from the local Chinese restaurant...

My favorite hot sauce at this moment is El Yucateco Kutbil-Ik... it is a great habanero sauce, and most local stores carry it.  Another one that I like is called Rectal Rocket Fuel... I got it as a gift, and first thought that it was going to be a chintzy, touristy hot sauce, but it turned out to be good enough for me to get more.  It is a jerk based hot sauce.  I have had a few of the "fake" sauces (ie Dave's Insanity), and I am not too much into them...

I like Frank's Red Hot, but usually only on catfish or popcorn shrimp...

Years ago I was doing a commercial job for a retail store and he kept taking phone calls and helping people while I stood there with lights and camera set up. He finally said he hoped I did not mind waiting and I said no problem, I stated the clock/charges started when I walked in the door........he never did that again.

The problem is that most people don't know anything about food.   They can't cook, think convenience before taste, and equate quantity with quality.  I trust very, very few people to recommend a good restaurant.  Simply scanning "the best" lists in most towns will show the wisdom of that approach. 

I know lots of people who think The Claim Jumper (mostly a CA chain but expanding east) is the best restaurant ever.  Waits are always at least an hour.  Hearing them talk you never hear about how wonderful the food tastes just about how much there was.  Once you get past the size of their baked potatoes the food is fairly standard and never worth the wait.  On the other hand, I know of a Greek restaurant (sadly 1400 miles from here) that served me one of the best meals I've ever had.  Every bite practically made my eyes roll back with pleasure.  We never went there when it was much more than half full.

We’re fairly recent (last year or so) converts to Cholula hot sauce.  Since it’s not really “hot” everyone in the family uses it.  It has a good pepper flavor and not the strong vinegar taste that we now feel Tabasco has.

 

Thanks to you wonderful folks on this list, I’m afraid my girls (15 and 8) are really becoming food snobs.  They’ve always been rather adventurous about food (will try anything at least once, and then again if they didn’t like it the first time, just in case) but as they’ve gotten older, they’ve got strict standards about certain foods and the quality they expect.  [And, yes, we eat at home most nights, most cooking from scratch due to youngest’s food allergies, so I’m sure that makes a difference, as well.]

15 minutes is my max. Too many other places that are just as good. Here in Charlotte we have an abundance of good places to eat. Johnson and Wales, the local Comm Coll cooking school and another private culinary school make this a foodie heaven. Although if the Rest. has a bar seat open I can be convinced to wait a few minutes longer <G>

I've ONLY seen one place in my life that was worth waiting 30 minutes or so for, in order to get a table.  A little Mexican restaurant in Waimanalo, Hawaii.

Anywhere else that I have had to wait 30 minutes to an hour or so, where I have actually sat at the bar and "waited", it was all "atmosphere", "social networking" and "ambience" the food took a poor second place to all those other things.

Same here. I record "Good Eats" on my DVR, but other than that it's
all competition shows now. People just don't tune in to watch
competent experts explain what they're doing and why. To top it off,
most of the "personalities" on FN are irritating in one way or
another: princess Giada DeLaurentiis, carny huckster Guy Fieri (who
can't pronounce his own name right...not that that's an affectation or
anything), and of course, everyone's favorite villain, Bobby Flay
(whom I don't dislike nearly as much as some). I'll tell you, if they
did a weekly show on Asian cuisine with Masaharu Morimoto (and a
translator) or Ming Tsai (is that his name?), I'd have that sucker on
DVR quicker than you can say "nori." Even as a carnivore, I can't
believe they don't have one show for vegetarians, something for
bakers, anything about Pacific Rim cuisines. One good show they had,
"The Food Hunter," featuring some British loon who loved things like
durian, was stuck at the 3:30AM slot.

I'd rather watch a week's worth of specials on Indian food than one
"Food Network Celebrity Recipe Ultimate Showdown Challenge."

I guess the Italian chef is a good,Mario?, I think he had an incident that almost killed him.
 
Can't remember the guys name, but used to be on the program, a NY chef that travels to "wild' places to check out the food. He seems very real, smokes, gets drunk, sick and hung over on his travels.............
 
Jamie at home is interesting, it's stuck at 6:30 AM Sat...................hmmm, guess I do like most of the shows, but I have a lot to learn.

This whole thing with the food channel is like the Home and Garden Channel (HGTV). There is no gardening shows on anymore. I wish they would just drop the "G". Kind of the same thing happening with the food channel.

I believe I came late to the food network so it has not gone South for me yet. Looks like several have left and they are using reruns. I think Mario's program is still on every morning.
 
Yep, Tony is the guy, I think it would be a hoot to have dinner with him somewhere. I never watch the Travel channel for some reason, is his trips on the show very often?

I have to go with Bill and Gary, they mentioned my standards Tuong ot
Sriracha (Rooster brand) is nicely hot and almost sweet it's so fruity
tasting. Great on spaghetti once in a while for a change, too.

And there's no doubt that Bufalo (distributed by Herdez) int he tall
thin bottles is amazingly good. They have Picante Clasica, Chipotle
and the hotter Jalapeno. What really sets them aside is the fact that
they are thick - almost like catsup, and that they hafe a lot of fruit
flavor along with the heat. I've given away a lot of these bottles to
people justt o get them to try it - most are still using it. It's
only about 90 cents a bottle and easily worth triple that.

That would likely be Tony Bourdain.  He's had a show "No Reservations" on the Travel channel that's actually become pretty good since he seems to have toned down the wise ass personae.  To his credit he still gets drunk and totally loves pork (Mmmmm!  Chock full of porky goodness!)

My votes go for Sriracha, which is not really a "hot sauce" to my
thinking, but a condiment more like ketchup in consistency and use. Mix
a bit with ketchup and a touch of soy for an interesting dip for grilled
meat.

Sriracha has two products, both great with anything Asian. One has a
green cap and the other has a red cap. Green caps seem more common, and
I can't for the life of me remember what the difference is in the
ingredients, but there is a difference. Anyone remember?

All El Yucateco products are quality. Tapatio and Cholula are good,as
is Bufalo. I have the advantage of a few Mexicatessens close by. I
like Tabasco a lot, but it is more of a hot vinegar sauce and I don't
think it is comparable to "hot sauce" when we're discussing
condiments...it's a different animal.

As for the Dave's whatever...that's just concentrated heat. I've never
spent a dime on it.

My favorite is Carolina Heat Wave Habanero Pepper Sauce. I also like
Sriracha, Bufalo, Tabasco and Cholula.

I know it's the godless leftie in me, but I decided, right from the get-go, to boycott that programme. With all the poverty and starvation in the world today, not to mention the obesity epidemic taking over most of North America, I think a show that basically honours and promotes gluttony and excess is simply out of place.

Just my 2 cents.

My family all wear the food snob label with pride.  My girls are 29 and 26 and the youngest one grew out of her food allergies about the time she started college.

Thanks to you wonderful folks on this list, I'm afraid my girls (15 and 8) are really becoming food snobs.  They've always been rather adventurous about food (will try anything at least once, and then again if they didn't like it the first time, just in case) but as they've gotten older, they've got strict standards about certain foods and the quality they expect.  [And, yes, we eat at home most nights, most cooking from scratch due to youngest's food allergies, so I'm sure that makes a difference, as well.]
