Crazy Uncle Jester's Inferno World Wins 2009 Fiery Food Challenge

On September 5, 2008, the most prestigious awards in the spicy food industry were distributed at a gala banquet in Fort Worth, Texas, and Crazy Uncle Jester’s Inferno World came out on top! Crazy Uncle Jester’s Spontaneous Combustion™ took home The Golden Chile Award. They also won 2nd place in Mustard with Crazy Uncle Jester’s Blazing Hot Mustard™, 2nd place in XXX Hot Sauce for Crazy Uncle Jester’s Spontaneous Combustion™, and 3rd place in XXX Hot Sauce for Crazy Uncle Jester’s Select Reserve™.

The Fiery Food Challenge, a competition sponsored by Chile Pepper magazine, pits products against one another in more than 80 categories. Professional judges evaluate hundreds of sauces, salsas and other spicy treats and award first, second and third prizes in each category. Awards are proudly displayed at ZestFest, a spicy food event held the same week as the Fiery Food Challenge, at the Will Rogers Center in Fort Worth.

Crazy Uncle Jester’s has won numerous national awards. They were recently invited to compete for the 2009 Scovie Awards.

Crazy Uncle Jester's Inferno World is a certified Native American, family-owned specialty food manufacturer that produces a gourmet line of hot sauces, pepper jellies, dipping sauces, and fresh garden salsas.

The company began when Jeff and Lori Stevenson made their first batch of garden fresh salsa in their kitchen. Although their products are available from many fine grocers throughout Ohio, all of their products are hand-made, all natural, trans-fat and preservative free.
Jeff Stevenson, President and Founder, said “We are extremely pleased that our products were so well received. It is very exciting to watch our PepperHead™ Fan Club grow!”
