Inspiration from capsaicin: Fiery Foods Festival at North Market

I really enjoyed firing things up last Saturday at the North Market Fiery Foods Weekend.  There were lots of special vendors, plenty of unique spicy foods cooking, and even contests for chili, guacamole, and salsa creators.

“The enthusiasm for our Fiery Foods Festival has increased exponentially over the years,” said David Wible, Executive Director of the North Market. "We are excited to be able to offer an entire weekend's worth of activities to our capsaicin-consuming devotees!”

Check out my photos of the day with everything from home-brew hot sauce to spicy peanut butter, from hot popcorn to ice cream with a kick.

They also had a terrific trio that blended bluegrass, folk, and acoustic jazz. Click to www.gipsonandfitz.com
