Tis the season for seeing beautiful chili peppers coming in and dreaming up new hot sauces. I've been working on a fermented Louisiana-style sauce that hits this past month and tried dozens of creative homemade hot sauces at the Chilifest Hot Sauce contest put on by Kitchen Garden Farm.

Happy Labor Day weekend! Kitchen Garden Farms puts on an awesome hot sauce festival, and it will be my first one as a vendor.

It's right next to a corn maze, and they have a chili cook-off and hot sauce competition, spicy food, local beer, and great live music
