Gary was actually discovered during a poker game. He declared his love for the spicy side of food, and wanted to be a part of the review squad. We were more than happy to send some products his way to get his feedback. Let us see what will unfold from that.
Sean B.
Sean B. is not a chilehead. One more time, Sean B. is not a chilehead. Buddah will ask Sean to do an impromptu video from time to time out of convenience because he lives under the same roof as him. Scared, but willing Sean will put his best tongue forward and tell you his honest opinion while drinking milk to dull the pain. He also has done some nice cartoon work for us, and we are grateful. Check out his photobucket KR2NIST if you are interested in obtaining his services.
