Amazing Time at the Bowers Festival

(9/5) – Bowers was awesome this year. Surrounded by new and old friends, including Hot Lips Peppers, Cactus Pete’s, Jahleda,  3 1/2 Peppers, and, of course, Puckerbutt Pepper Co., we had a blast trying a million tasty bites, including jellies, rubs, pumpkin funnel cake (you have to try it!), jerky, and sauces. As a special treat, Smokin’ Ed treated Rapid Fire and I, Girl on Fire, to three fresh peppers even hotter than the Carolina Reaper…and the peppers did not disappoint.  One ugly-bumpkin pepper, dubbed the Turd, was so tasty and sweet, you forget the hell that’s coming as you eat it.  Ed got it all on tape.  So good!

We’re waiting for the Kempton Pepper Jam next — Rob, we know you’ll do a killer event!

Shout out to some of our new and old friends, including Fred, Lorraine, Eddie, Melyssa, Greg, Brian, Ushanee, Ed, Brett, Rob, and Johnny, a/k/a Chef Johnny, a fun sweet guy, and a serious competitor who kicked some amazing ass on Alton Brown’s Cut Throat Kitchen!
