Witness the action packed event with hot sauce tastings from each vendor, eating challenges, spicy food vendors, crafts and plenty of odd ball entertainment for the whole family.
This year’s Expo’s poster artwork [to the right] was inspired by the inaugural class of the Hot Sauce Hall of Fame. The members are depicted as Ghost Pepper Busters saving the world of the scariest of all peppers. From left to right are the mighty Edmund McIIhenny, Chip Hearn, Dave Hirshkop, Dave DeWitt and John Hard.
The NYC Hot Sauce Expo will feature the East Coast vs West Coast Bloody Mary Mix-Down. The winner from the CA Hot Sauce Expo will compete against NYC top bartenders to a winner take all Battle Royal. Think you have what it takes to be crowned theGuinness Book of World Records – Reaper Pepper Eating Contest, the World’s Hottest Pepper. Each of the past 2 years a new world record has been posted. Will there be a new world record this year? Also on hand for the weekend is the Induction Ceremony for the Class of 2016 Hot Sauce Hall of Fame, The Screaming Mi Mi Awards, famous Grimaldi’s Volcanic Pizza Eating Challenge, the Ghost Pepper Taco of Doom Challenge and many others.
