Jim’s Hot Sauce Collection - Part 1
Posted on 03.25.06 by Nick Lindauer @ 9:10 am | Comments: |
« « Previous | Ultimate Blog Sauce Update #2 » »

Jim from Mild to Wild has been posting a few comments here on the HSB and teasing us with his collection. Finally, he sent in photographic proof of the famed Beyond Death. Sorry eman.

Hellenback Hot Sauce

Pic one is typical of my collection- just a random assortment of sauces stuck on a shelf. As you can see in the right corner though, most of them are signed. I’m particularly fond of the Hellenback as its’ premier was made entirely of my Red SavinaŽ Habaneros. They and Blair were my first two commercial chile pepper buyers. The bottle is signed by both of the Two Chefs (Eric Walton & Bev Coit). Tragically, Eric died about a year later. That one is priceless to me.

Pic two is more of the same :-) The small, unlabeled bottle next to the Blown Away is CaJohn’s pre-release beta test of the Mamba. The Pepper Smack (two to the left) is from the first batch that I made for John and uses a bottle style that has been long discountinued for that sauce.
Bottom shelf are goodies that ChileHeads from around the world occasionally send me. The two vials on the third shelf (back towards right) contain analytical grade, technically pure Capsaicin (16 mil).
And yes, I’ve tried it :-)

Pic three contains some of the more valuable items, including ‘the’ bottle (top right). The bottom row of Blairs stuff is all signed. The Blown Away (initial release) was done with my chiles as I believe was the Possible Side Effects. Part of the price of doing business with me over the years is that I’ve requested the sauce makers who use my chiles to send me a signed bottle of their creation. This has numbered well into the hundreds. As a result, many of them were just given away to make room for more. I believe that is what happened to most of my Dave’s signed stuff. Little did I know :-) Bottom right (beneath some of my awards) is a #278 signed 2 AM. I believe I had them from about #272 to #284 but gave most of them away to help promote Blairs’ stuff. That’s what also happened to the 8 or 10 cases of Beyond Death that I had back in the mid 1990’s. Sorry eman :-)

Blair's Beyond Death

Pic four is the bottle, I guess. You can see the Blair signature just above a note by him that says ‘no more’ I believe and just below ‘worlds last’. Blair was one of my very first chile pepper customers. Back in those days (early 90’s?) I’d essentially get paid for the chiles in sauce which I would then sell to make my money. I was particularly fond of the Beyond Death, believing it to be the best tasting extract sauce I’d ever come across. I was pushing it pretty heavy when Blair informed me that he was going to discontinue it to make room in the line for the Sudden Death. I asked him how much he had left and bought all 27 cases remaining. He almost immediately bought 4 cases back for a market place in Boston? that threatened him. I kept one bottle and pretty much disposed of the rest through the years, telling him I was keeping one for him to sign as the last should I ever get the chance to finally meet him in person. I finally met up with him a couple of years later at the Fiery Foods Show in ABQ and the deed was done. With the stroke of a pen, emans doom was set, little beknowst to us all :-)

Pic five shows part of the rail that lines the top of my office, as well as a portion of my products sitting ready for mail order. Of note on the top rail is a *ton* of signed CaJohns stuff on labels & bottle types that are no longer used. Out of site is a near entire case of his ‘Liquid Ax’ with the Suncoast Pepper labels still- that sauce was discontinued ages ago. Phamous Phloyds early BBQ sauce is signed in the center (above the CaJohns clock). To the far right (red & yellow label) is a signed bottle of Alternative Medicine by Mary Going (the original Fire Girl). I made that sauce for her. You can also see a bit of my fire department stuff. The white hard hat on the right was worn by a poice officer at ground zero. He sent it to me along with his duty jacket. The beat up fire helmet next to that is the one I wore to work for years (till I was promoted and given a new one). Going in order to the left is an antique one from Denmark, and old one from England, and an antique one from these parts. I’ve probably as much fire department collectable stuff as hot sauce :-)

What makes my collection a bit unique I guess, is that I’m connected to nearly every single sauce you see in the pictures. I’ve either sold them the chiles for their sauce, bottled the sauce as a co-packer for them, and/or let them private label one of my sauces as their own.

Probably the most famous person you’ve never heard of :-)

Jim has had several FoodTV appearances. Cooking in the Fire House, Open Fields, aw yes there is another September event (more about chiles than sauces) Roker, Eat the Heat, he’s somewhat of a media darling. He is just a very humble guy, on the Chieheads list he’s known as St. James. You should see the stuff he disposed of from his collection, you would wail & cry!!!

Don’t listen to CaJOhn! I’m just riding his coat tails :-)

This is only about a third of my collection, by the way. As stated- even as recently as two years ago it was *MUCH* bigger.

Sigh… all that Blairs’ stuff, just handed away ’cause he was a nice guy who I wanted to see succeed. You guys aren’t crying any harder than I am, trust me :-)

“Grow peppers in the bottles”…now that IS talent! haha
Hey, what a concept! I bet that this would eliminate a few steps in the sauce making process..

Thanks Brian! That’s too kind. No need to though… unless I’ve sent you chiles as well- I lose track now and then :-) I’ll go sign to your site & send it to you. Thanks again.

You’re right Aaron- not many are both grower and maker on a larger scale. Of course, I’m not either now that CaJohns took over the bottling part.

Henry- the part I find hard to believe sometimes is that chiles isn’t even the full time job :-) The wife doesn’t give me such high marks for being able to juggle everything so neatly ;-)

Mad- I’m not allowed to state if I supplied some of the perfect pods or not.

In my best political impression: “No comment”.

I’ve definately got to try and get some of those vials of pure capsaicin you’ve got- think I’ll have more of a chance next year when I’m doin my research project - should have a few connections by then - I don’t want to open my Blair’s 16million but would love to try some

Comment by Jim Campbell (Mild to WildŽ) (1532) - 3/25/2006 @ 12:10 pm |

I know this is going to sound funny MattUK, but it really doesn’t burn as bad as you might think. At the Open Fields the last two years, a bunch of us have tried some on toothpicks. Mind you, I’m not one of those ‘extreme’ folks either- my tolerance stops about cayenne though I can do Habs if money’s on the table. The pure cap was a different kind of burn, warming and glowing the entire core of the body from navel to scalp. It didn’t have that ragged, tongue tearing that you’d have expected.

Comment by CaJohn (1373) - 3/25/2006 @ 12:14 pm |

The Bottling Part!!! That’s the EASY Part!!! What about the de-stemming & PROCCESSING? You can have that back anytime you want!

All kidding aside, Jim IS what a Chilehead is all about. Although his banner raises some questio about what he does…

“We Grow Our Own”

Confusing in that there really isn’t a ‘we’ :-)

I think the random testing answers your other confusion ;-)

wow……um..i don’t know what to say Jim..That post really touched me.I hope some day in my traveles I am able to meet you and have you sign something for me.
You know…even if you had sold me that beyond death, I probably would have given it back to you because I now see it has the BEST HOME EVER!!!! I would be very dissapointed to have taken that away from you.
Great collection and keep doing what you are doing.
With MUCH respect !!!!!

Thanks eman. I”m sure you would have made it a very nice home also :-)

It only got put in the display case in the last year. I only GOT the case last year from CaJohn. It was in the crowd with the rest of my scientfically organized collection before that.

Jim, that is one incredible collection you’ve attained. I would have to label it as priceless due to your connection to each sauce and the folks who made them. My hats off to you, I am very very impressed- thanks for sharing it with us.

Correct- pictured is only about a third of the collection. Didn’t (as always) figure folks would be that interested in most of it. Lotta little ‘mom & pop’ makers that no one has heard of. Also not pictured is most of the CaJohn stuff, though you can see bits and pieces of it in there.

Nick is getting a list of all that I have that will go on the auction block. I’ve learned my lesson- no more giving away the Dave’s & Blairs double signed stuff, or the prototype CaJohn stuff :-)

Jim I also would like to say that I really like that acrylic bottle holder you have there. I was looking at one thinking “I will never need that” hehe now I have about 20 5oz bottles :) they add up fast, soon sending Nick pics though but still waiting on some special stuff on order and in the mail from a Great Guy or Two!

I think mom and pop bottles are some of the best!!! As a small business owner, I have the a lot of respect for the little guys. Of course those that attain National status are to be applauded as well. My wife and I always try to got to the little shops or the mom and pop cafes etc…. when we travel. Some of our best purchases and dining experiences come from these places.

Comment by Jim Campbell (Mild to WildŽ) (1532) - 3/25/2006 @ 2:32 pm |

I agree on the mom & pops. I’ve also had a lot of fun advising some of them on the do’s & don’ts of the business. Do have fun, Don’t try to be the next Tabasco :-)

You have me puzzled now pmac :-/

Yup- finding several things I thought were long gone. A bunch of signed Judicial Flavors stuff- interesting because it was also signed by his kids. MSK is likely to end up with one or two of those since his supports charity.

When you come to Madison, I’ve just over a case of signed stuff for you from the smaller mom & pop folks. It’s yours. I’ll consider it free. If you wish to pay something at that point, anything you wish will be considered fair. Fair enough? :-)

I think this will be split up a few different ways. I certainly owe Nick so a chunk will go up for bid (or sale) through him. Another chunk is going to go to MSK for his charity project. The remainder will go up either through eBay and/or a collectors section on my site. I think this gives everyone the best shot at getting something.

Off to the other firehouse in the morning so I’d done for here for tonight. It’s been fun :-)
