So I'm in San Francisco yesterday (on assignment in
Los Gatos for two weeks, so ran up to the city for the
weekend...), and we're taking in Fisherman's Wharf.
We stumble into a store called the Gourmet Gallery,
and the first thing that hits the eye is a bottle of Blair's
After Death sauce, complete with little skull.
Further investigation yielded an entire hot sauce section,
with probably a total of 75 or 80 different varieties, including
some I'd never heard of or seen before (Melinda's Mango),
and some I'd only heard of recently, such as the Baron's
West Indian sauces.
They also have a nice selection of chile-related cookbooks
and gardening books. Needless to say, I came out of the shop
significantly poorer than I went in...
