On Saturday, the wife and I braved the wet weather and drove 3 hours to DE from NYC to visit Peppers in Rehoboth. The Peppers retail store is located in a huge outlet shopping mall, allowing the wife to wander off and shop while I hung out in the store with Luther, Chip, Sandy & Blair.

Even more hot sauces

Jumbo Sized hot sauces
And yet, more hot sauces
Peppers is the largest hot shop, not just on the East cost, but nationwide according to Luther and it’s still a family run business after all these years. In fact, the Hern family owns & operates several business in the Rehoboth area.
If your in the area or even 3-4 hours away, take the time to visit Peppers – you won’t be disappointed. Watch out for the Mega Death brownie if you are a newb chilehead – ask for extras if your like the rest of us. Make sure to say “HI” to the Pepper Queen and watch out for the extendable fork she carries. 🙂
