<< Do as I did, discover wildpepper.com! Some great stuff there and he fixed me with enough pepper related sauces/spices to keep me hot for quite a while! I think! LOL >> LOL, that's what I do as well. Keeps our family very very happy. Let me count the ways to use Jim's Applewood Habanero, Chipotle, and Savenna powders............oh and the Chipotle sauce, but if you really really want a "Chile fix" reach for Backdraft :-> As to restaurants all I can suggest is head to Thai and Indian. We usually cook at home as they just don't usually get it when you say spicy, as in HOT with Chiles. There is a barbecue group over there that is quite passable. There's one on El Camino in Sunnyvale......geez can't remember the name.
