17th Annual Austin Chronicle
Hot Sauce Contest

 

.

The heat was blazing and the competition fierce at the 17th annual Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival on Sunday.

Thousands showed up at Waterloo Park to savor some sauce and help the hungry. Everyone who attended brought at least three cans of nonperishable food items as a donation.

The annual event raises food and money for the Capital Area Food Bank.

Red sauce, green sauce, all colors and consistencies entered the homemade hot sauce competition.

More than 350 entries were submitted and judged by the crowd under the taste tent.

"There's people here from Peru. There's people here from Texas and Oklahoma. So it's a time to see what everybody's interpretation of hot sauce and salsa really is and what they think of as hot," one festival goer said.

Read what they are saying on the Hot Spot Blog about Rancho Bravo´s Hot Sauce

"I have found my perfect salsa. We eat a lot of salsas in my house. Types include the normal Chi Chi's, Tostito's, Peppers Blue Crab, Marco's Salsa's and even Sam's Choice Black bean and corn. Rancho Bravo's Salsa Picante ” Extra Hot” goes to the top of my list. Once I started eating, I could not stop still it was gone. Overall a 9.25 out of 10."

"Awesome! Thick, chunky, colorful. All you see is vegetables. This salsa is not over processed. You can easily pick out every ingredient listed including the cilantro. A perfect 10."
