FYI on Jimmy Bannos - he is the owner of a great restaurant here in Chicago called Heaven on Seven. There are 2 locations, the newer one bigger and in a more trendy area, but still serving up the same great Cajun/Creole food as the original "diner-style" cash-only location.
He has a dish called Pasta Shrimp Angry with a sauce for the real CH-ers out there. Lots of garlic heat and very tasty to boot. It's so hot that I only order a side of it to put on top of whatever I order because a whole dish is too much!
Also, on every table there are at last a dozen or so hot sauces to choose from, so he doesn't just display 'em!

Subject: [CH] Bon Appetit, July 1999 Issue
Well, yesterday I got the latest issue of Bon Appetit in the mail, the
annual Barbecue issue. This time I was quite surprised by 2 things:
p. 20 - a small article called HOT SAUCE HEAVEN. It is about Jimmy
Bannos 1,800 bottles of hot sauce on the wall at his restaurant in
Chicago. With a picture of some of it. Wow! Signs along the bottom of
the shelves say "CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH. BOTTLES MAY EXPLODE." With all
these kinds of hot sauce on the wall, and 20 bottles on each table, what
are his favorites: Crystal Hot Sauce from La. and Pure Cap. He says
about Pure Cap "I keep it in the refrigerator for anyone who thinks our
hottest isn't hot enough." Sounds like it is just right for most of us
Chile-Heads.
The other was an article on chipotles called "Chipotles of the
Southwest", p. 52. This article has 4 recipes with it (not input into
Mastercook yet).
Looks like it could be a good issue, for a change.
