Also, as I mentioned on the phone, we’re recognizing Jungle Jims International Market as one of two Gourmet News Retail Leadership Award winners for 2007. Each year we present the award to a specialty retailer for achievements occurred during the year. This year, when our staff and members of our parent company United Publications was reviewing the year’s stories, we were all impressed with the size and the scope of the Weekend of Fire.
Stu Hirsch, one of our reporters and a self-described chilehead, was very impressed with the event< -the organization, the attention to detail of the staff. And it's worth noting the exhibitors couldn't say enough nice things about Jungle Jims and the event itself. So for us, recognizing Jungle Jims as the Gourmet News Retail Leadership Winner of 2007 was a slam dunk!

Well deserved award. Can’t wait til WOF 08!
I had a ball and I certainly hope to make it next year, although a bump in life might hold me back that weekend. Jungle Jim’s is a special store, not short bus special, but special in how big the place is. The hot sauce, mustard, and salsa areas are huge and anyone that hasn’t been there it is a must see while you there. Just keep your kids away from the adults only R-Rated hot sauce area. 😉
Congrats Bret, well deserved!!!
Thats awesome guys!!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Great Job Bret, you have definately made an impact in our lives as chiliheads!
