I am pleased to announce that Goodman Media Group has completed its acquisition of Chile Pepper Magazine, ZestFest and The Fiery Food Challenge from Lifestyle Media Inc. Chile Pepper has been a leading publication in the food category for 20 years, and its dynamic live events have helped bring the magic of Chile Pepper to life.

P.S. our 2006 Fiery Food Challenge starts on August 30th and wraps up with our famous Golden Chile Awards Banquet at ZestFest September 8-10 in Fort Worth, Texas.
