IMG_1742


Here’s the HSB who’s who of ZestFest (from the pics I have & listed by number of comments - sort of):

DSC01957

Nick & Laura (aka the wife)
Nick is the enabler behind this madness and Laura lets him. :-) She’s just getting into the hot world folks, go easy!

IMG_1851_THT

John (aka huvason)
Everyone shout: Fat Kids Sauces!

DSC01899

Ryan (aka Angry Ryan or Angry Pepper)
Located in Oregon, Ryan is the man behind AngryPepper Graphixs. Some of his work includes the label design for Fat Kid Sauces.

IMG_1795_THT

Chris K & Kristi
The first couple to have met and become engaged via the HSB! Chris K has been a longtime commentor here and as a moderator has been dubbed “Chris K from the Blog”. Kristi is one of the Three Hot Tamales and Chris’s direct link to the inner workings of the hot sauce world.

P9080045

Sonia (aka Mrs. Ryan or Sanyo)
The most “vocal” wife on the HSB, Mrs. Ryan deserves major props for putting up with all the drunks at ZF and for coming out with her own line of sauce under the Mischief moniker.

IMG_1747

Eric (aka eman or Captain Capsacin)
Noted for his impressive collection of Blair’s bottles, eman has recently gone above all chileheads by giving his daughter the middle name “Blair”. eman is also the brains & brawn behind the Team HSB shirts that made an impressive showing at Zest Fest.

IMG_1510

Paul (aka pmac)
Not the chilehead one would think, pmac can’t handle the hot stuff (unless it’s mrs. pmac ;-) ).

100_1014

Paul (aka thebigshow)
Paul from CT, the man drove to ZestFest (and more then one Defcon Day). The man lives up to his blog name - he’s one big dude!

IMG_1377

John (aka CaJohn or CJ)
CaJohn took home more awards then anybody at the show and produces the ultra sexy Caveat Emptor bottles. His wife, Sue, is actually Wicked Wanza.

IMG_1934

Jim Campbell (aka buns o steel or mash maker to the stars)
Jim is the man behind the Red Savina Habanero, Open Fields and the majority of sauce makers mashes. He also just climbed a whopping 106,377 steps in the name of charity.

IMG_1789

John (aka Creator or Defcon Creator)
A surprise visitor to Zest Fest, Creator flew is for one night just to hang with the chileheads before heading out the next day to cook wings for another event. John is the man behind Defcon Sauces and the semi-monthly Defcon Days, not to mention the glowing Zero Batch 3’s.

P9080040

Vic & Wendy
Vic & Wendy’s hot sauce collection take up an entire room and then some, these folks drove all the way from Florida to enjoy Zest Fest.

IMG_1498

Brian Moon (aka locolunabrian)
Brian is the man behind Loco Luna Hot Sauces (his Meet Your Maker interview can be seen here) and his first reserve debuted at Zest Fest. You may still be able to pick one up if you ask him real nice…

IMG_1836

Aaron (aka picanteput)
The sleeper at the poker game, Aaron came all the way from Alabama and partied it up with the HSBers.

IMG_1845

Randy (aka MSK or Teal)
MSK is the proud owner of the world’s largest signed hot sauce collection, some of which can be seen on his site MississippiSauceKing.Com. And I dare say, he has the most frequently signed head as well!

IMG_1738

Doug (aka the truth)
The truth is behind Jersey Boyz Jerky (and chris k from the blog is behind him (well, sometimes))

IMG_1845_THT

Lisa (aka one hot tamale)
Lisa is 1/3 of the Three Hot Tamales team - and very generous in sharing Dougie with Chris K from the blog. And to top it all off, Lisa remained on the bull the longest (by a long shot) on Friday night.

IMG_1809_THT

Jodie
Hmm, what to say about Jodie? Well, she’s one of the Three Hot Tamales, along side Kristi and Lisa and she wears her ribbons proudly (can’t say anything else without getting in trouble) :-P

IMG_1520

Steve (aka The 5th Tamale)
Steve has become the 5th Tamale, but I think he’s going to need a bigger shirt. He’s huvason’s brother by the way. Seen here with the wife (aka the 4th Tamale).

IMG_1578

Danny Cash
The mohawk is real and the stories are true - Danny Cash & his crew liven up any party and prove it by teaching folks how to drink two beers at once!

IMG_4886

Scotty B
The man behind Scotty B’s Hot Sauces - Scotty proudly took home two Golden Chiles and a 2nd place ribbon on Friday night and knowing his line of sauces, there’s plenty more to come.

IMG_1780

Craig (aka Cheffy)
Cheffy drove down from Iowa and brought with him some of his delicious BBQ and BBQ Sauces. He’s the Cheffy behind Cactus Bob’s BBQ Corral (located in Iowa) and after tasting some of his BBQ, it’s definately worth a road trip!

IMG_1694

Fernando
All the way from California, Fernando, Mrs. Fernando and Baby Armando were a blast to hang out with. Be careful with baby Armando though, he’s been trained to steal your beers :-)

IMG_1737

Jim
Jim has been a long time reviewer here on the HSB and as a Dallas local, he decided to pop into ZF and say hi to the crew.

IMG_1771

John (aka Pepperman)
The only guy with the cajones to propose to his girlfriend (now his wife) in front of a room full of chileheads - he’s also the only guy that gets conned into wearing the Danny Cash Pepperman suit. But as a bonus, he’s got a belt to hold his beer!

IMG_1859

Jack (aka AJ, or Arizona Jack)
The maker of eBay’s best selling jerky, Arizona Jack also has a strong penchant for poker and guitars. If your a major jerky consumer like some of us, just ask him to whip up an extra large batch (I’m talking 2lbs bags) and he’ll gladly help you out.

DSCN0630

Mrs. Eman & Baby Isabella
A hot sauce collector in her own right, Mrs. eman deserves a medal for caring for a baby during ZF with all the craziness going on. Baby Isabella was definately one of the highlights of the show!

IMG_1692

Dan (from BLP Labels)
The man looks like he’s 20 but in fact he’s 40! (so much for partying with chileheads making you look your age) If you need labels done right, check out BLP Labels and ask to speak to Dan or Mike.

IMG_1679

Lee
Lee is a part of the Danny Cash crew and is infamous for trying CaJohn’s Black Mamba without listening to the warnings.

IMG_1710

Steve (aka Chile Chef)
Steve is part of CaJohn’s crew and as the operations manager, he’s seen a lot of sauce in his day.

Scotty B's Son - Travis

Travis (aka Scotty B Junior)
Travis worked his butt off during Zest Fest, manning Scotty B’s booth and lifting all those awards! He’s an HSBer in training (Scotty won’t quite let us take the kid out) and future sauce maker.

P9080011

Captain Thom
Captain Thom makes the chilepepper keychains that HSBers are so fond of and he makes a killer smokey pepper vinegar (not to mention numerous other sauces and spices). His meet your maker interview can be found here.

Whew, there you have it folks - a semi-complete listing of all the HSBers at the show. This post took me almost 2 weeks to put together and if I didn’t get a picture of you up there, please send one in to add. I scoured all the pics sent in to date and hope I didn’t miss anyone, but if I did, just let me know and I’ll add you to it.

Hey jack sounds good… You should have nick do your name as a link, that would help people who don’t know you be able to contact you easier.. How’s everything going.

Jack just has to put his URL in the URL field when making comments, that will then automatically link to his site.

Hi Blane. Hey, I tried the meatballs, pretty good dude! Made the house smell good too, so The Createss was happy as well!

Our event for next year haven’t really bee written yet. We’ll be doing Fiery Foods in March again, no doubt. As for Defcon Days, the bars and restaurants we do them at contact me, usually only a couple of weeks before the date of the gig, so I really can’t tell you. We’ll probably be flying down to Zest Fest next year, not doin’ a booth, just drinkin’. Thinking about doing the Houston show next year instead, not to mention many demos, hockey games, etc.

Being a hot sauce lover and a woman, bring the “BOSS” and I promise us “Hot-chicks” will show her a good time! Between the Three Hot Tamales and Big Daddy Jake’s … She will be the first one booking the flights!

Thanks for the Pic Nick!! I have said it many times and have read it several more- it was truely special to have met everyone we did. Some stand out a little more then others, some were wilder, and then some were just so incredibly kind and gracious. Yes we drove straight through from Florida and knowing now by who we met, we would and will do it again. Who knows we may end up driving out to New Mexico if I can’t talk Wendy into flying, LOL!
