Wild Wing Cafe – Some of the Hottest Wings Around

“Wild Wing Cafe” is a chain restaurant with a focus on chicken wings and good beer. We took a road trip recently on our way to down Florida and decided to stop in at the Marietta, Georgia location for some hot and spicy food. I’ve been to multiple “Wild Wing Cafe” locations, and the Marietta spot is top notch. Tucked into the corner of a simple strip mall, the outside opens into a patio area where Friday night groups wait for their tables to become available. Continue reading

Homemade Macaroni and Cheese with Kramer’s Wing Rub

I’d like to pay a compliment to Kramer’s Wing Rubs. I did a review of 3 of their spicy wing rubs, which we at Chili Pepper Madness greatly enjoyed. You can find the review here. I had noted in my review that the rubs have a strong smokiness, perhaps a bit too much for some consumers. I had tried the rubs on shrimp, fish, and vegetables. All were delicious, but last night, on a whim, Patty asked for macaroni and cheese. I don’t make anything out of a box but we were in a hurry. You see, Patty had Bunco and needed to hurry out to drink, I mean play Bunco, with the ladies. Continue reading

Calivirgin Extra Virgin Olive Oil – with Jalapeno Peppers

On our recent trip to Italy, we visited several wineries that also produced olive oil. This was a wonderful surprise because, while we love wine, we love olive oil even more. Especially fresh olive oil. The process of making olive oil in Italy is interesting, with the locals pouring out at harvest time to help produce the oil, donating their time for olive oil in return. The extra virgin olive oil in Italy was so delicious, we brought as much home as we could carry. Continue reading

Hellacious Hot Sauce by High River Sauces – Hot Sauce Review

Heavy Metal fan? Here’s a product with serious ties to the Heavy Metal scene, a hot sauce created by Steve Seabury, author of the cookbook “Mosh Potatoes”, a collection of recipes from the biggest bands in Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. You don’t have to be a head banger to enjoy this hot sauce, though Steve might recommend it. He sent along a bottle of his newest sauce, “Hellacious Hot Sauce”, which was the featured hot sauce for the Metalliance Tour.

Before we begin, a note from the bottle: “Warning. This hot sauce isn’t for the faintof heart or people who listen to False Metal. Use at your own risk.” Continue reading
