2013 Fiery Foods Weekend – Cajohn’s Open House

February 15, 2013February 16, 2013 Buddah 2013, CaJohn's Open House

What has become a mainstay experience in the North Market Fiery Foods Weekend, CaJohn & Sue Hard open up their warehouse for their annual Open House. For me, it isn’t about the free, yet delicious spicy grub it is. It isn’t about the tour of the facility, been there, done that. For the newbies it is a thrill, especially the signing of “the wall”. What the open house means to me, is to just be with my friends. Simple. I go to many shows during the year. I have been lucky, but it still doesn’t make me yearn for the next show once the last one ends. Sue and John embrace us and make us feel so welcome to be a part of their lives, even if it is for a fleeting moment.

The Great Spicy Chicken Salad Challenge

October 26, 2012October 26, 2012 Buddah 2013, Chicken Salad Challenge, North Market

Who can turn some chicken into something extraordinary? Chicken Salad is pretty much a leftover meal that we often overlook. If you go into some gourmet delis you can find some top notch chicken salads that will completely wow you. I have made some slight spicy variations over the years, and have not reached Nirvana yet. So I am going to sponsor the very 1st Spicy Chicken Salad Challenge at the Annual Fiery Food Show at the North Market in Columbus, Ohio for President’s Day Weekend. The kick here is that it will not be an amateur contest, it will be for the Vendors only who attend the show to sell their goods. These culinary whizs do not get to compete too often against each other outside of the ILIS Feast Your Eyes on This Spicy Cooking Challenge, which will be back for another year on March 6th, 2013 (FREE PLUG). Send me an email for contestant info if interested. Only 8-10 spots open.
