Houston Hot Sauce Festival Salsa Contest Winners!
Earlier today down at the HOUSTON HOT SAUCE FESTIVAL, a handful of chilehead judges tasted dozens of salsas in a Texas-style, shoot-’em-up salsa contest. This competition was held not only to give a few companies bragging rights, but also to raise both awareness and money for the Snowdrop Foundation, a worthy organization dedicated to assisting patients and families at Texas Children’s Cancer Center.
Al “Buddah” Goldenberg of I Love It Spicy! and Carol Borge of the Houston Hot Sauce Festival had put this fiery foods bout together. Just a short while ago, Al had given me the results to post.
Salsas were judged in two categories: Best Fruit-Based Salsa and Best All-Purpose Salsa. The salsa has been eaten, the smoke has settled and the points have tabulated. Here are the results:
Best Fruit-Based Salsa . . .
2. Gunther’s Gourmet- Spicy Ginger Pineapple Salsa
3. Red’s- Mango Habanero Salsa
Best All-Purpose Salsa . . .
1. Red’s – Hot Salsa
2. High Octane Sauce Company – Tire-Smoking Medium Salsa
3. Silver Leaf International- Ghost Pepper Salsa
