Great time at Murphysboro Barbeque Cook-off 

 Despite untimely and lingering rain, we had a great time in Murphysboro last weekend. Great food and good music, (thanks go out to the Party Q Barbeque Team for both, and man the smell! 46 teams all firing up at once can sure make the mouth water!  :)

We would like to send out a special thanks to Mike Mills and all the wonderful people at 17th Street Grill for going out of their way to make us comfortable and welcome. Count on seeing us there again next year!

Get it while it's hot!

Werewolf Steak Sauce debut a howling success!!

Devil Breath Chile Company's newest product, Werewolf Steak Sauce, was introduced to the public for the first time May 4th at Spring Fest in Makanda, Il and was a huge success. With an incredible smoky flavor and lingering heat this product is great not just for steaks, but burgers, beef or pork sandwiches, and even makes a great marinade for salmon, chicken, and according to the vegans we met, tofu as well.

We would like to extend our thanks to Phil Beck and all the very talented residents of Makanda. They never fail to make us feel welcome, and there's nothing better than enjoying good music in Dave's Garden. Look for us at Vulture Fest in the fall.

Devil's Breath Chile Company was founded by Bill Barker, a lifelong chilehead. For 15 years Bill has grown many varieties of peppers, a few plants at a time in his home garden, looking for the best flavor and burn. All that time he worked to develop recipes that would fill the gap left by hot sauces that weren't much more than hot vinegar, and relishes that left his taste buds flat. After finding just the right blend, Bill shared his creations with friends and fellow chileheads, receiving universal praise, and a demand for more, please more!

Bill could have followed the crowd and ordered mash and peppers from produce wholesalers, but decided to keep everything natural and organic by growing everything himself. He planted 3000 peppers, using no chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. Working a field that size by hand is no easy task, but as half the peppers Bill uses in his recipes are not commercially available, it was the only way he could make his products. He also doesn't use any preservatives or artificial colors in his products. Every jar and bottle is guaranteed to be 100% organic and natural, (that's completely organic, not government organic)  :) Thanks for stopping by!
