    We had Sam on earlier this year to check in on how Sam Sa'House was doing post Hot Ones run. What better way to do that than by reviewing the Hot Ones Lineup of that time. We talk about the Hot Ones process, starting in Hot Sauce nowadays, philosphies and more. Sam is always a good time to have on pod. Be sure to check out his stuff in the links below:

    We are back to kick off the new year with a great discussion, Peppers!! Specifically we are joined by owner of Fat Baby Hot Sauce Nate Mahren to talk hot sauce, peppers, and a inaugural event in Grand Rapids, Michigan....the Beer City Pepper Fest. His passion for peppers is clear and got me excited to both be back recording and see a local spicy event in the new year.
