Just in case you did not notice the Ticklemaster part of the above ticket, it is fake. There is no ticket for $499.99, so please do not panic! The time to panic is when you enter one of the many scheduled events at the NYC Hot Sauce Expo. Such as the Puckerbutt Guinness Book of World Records Smokin’ Ed’s Carolina Reaper pepper eating record for 1 minute. A slight change from last year’s 3 pepper eating and done display. That will end the show on Sunday.

Then there is our 3rd Annual Fiery Pizza Eating Contest co-sponsored with our friends at Volcanic Peppers and the infamous Grimaldi’s Pizzeria. Each contestant will get a Volcanically Enhanced Grimaldi’s pizza that they have to eat in a pre-determined amount of time. The first one finished or eats the most will be declared the winner and get this beautiful trophy…

Screaming Mi Mi Awards Show will be done live on April 25th at the 3rd Annual NYC Hot Sauce Expo.

The last event for Saturday is the 1st year for Buffalo Wild Wings as the sponsor for their Blazin’ Challenge. Many Chileheads have conquered it, but who will be the fasting to eat them and be the 1st ever crowning champion?

We also want to mention the Hot Sauce Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony which will be my highlight for the event as I get to introduce one of the legends into the Hall of Fame who had one the biggest impacts on me being a Chilehead years before ever going to my first show and doing my first spicy review. I will be posting who was selected Saturday at 4:30pm, so be sure to come back and see the results.

The Sunday schedule is also action packed…I do believe their will be an Ice Cream challenge filling up one of the earlier spots and looks like it will be sponsored by Bonfatto’s Wing Sauces & Marinades with their Spice Cream & Zane & Zack’s World Famous Honey Company who I am sure will raise the level of heat with some of their creative wizardry.
