MiMi is Screaming “The Award Goes To” at the NYC Hot Sauce Expo
Steve Seabury, owner of High River Sauces and Producer of the NYC Hot Sauce Expo, announced the Winners of the 2014 Screaming MiMi Awards during the first afternoon of the Expo! If you’ve been following my You Tube videos and Facebook posts this weekend, you already know that the show is a rocking success!!! Thousands of people getting their “burn” on kept 45 vendors from across the country crazy busy sampling, educating, and entertaining the crowd. Seabury has raised the bar for Hot Sauce and Fiery Foods Events, with Hard Driving Rock playing during the show, and the likes of Food Network’s Chris Santos, Trans Siberian Orchestra’s Chris Caffery, and Twisted Sister guitarist Eddie Ojeda doing demos and signing autographs!
But the real stars were the sauces, salsas, and spicy products of love being showcased all weekend. The Screaming MiMi’s were judged several weeks ago by a veritable Who’s Who of judges from Food Network, Bon Appetit Magazine, and other true experts in the culinary world! The complete List of winners is below!
I’m having blast at the show and I highly recommend all you to make the trip! Why would you make the trip to NYC for the Hot Sauce Expo! Because, Ladies and Gentlemen, It’s a Fiery World!

I’m the President of Defcon Sauces. We took the Screamin’ Mimi Award for Best Wing Sauce, made by DEFCON SAUCES, although by Ken’s post, you wouldn’t know that. Interesting, all the winners have their full company name and full product name. Are we THAT much of a household word? I would like to think so, but it’s a stretch.

I corrected the typo showing Defcon Sauces and the product name in their entirety. Although John may have hit on something with the household name comment! I’m thinking so……. (sorry for the error!)
