2009 Fiery Foods Show Buddah Diary – Day 3 and PICS!!
By DK | March 2, 2009 |
Buddah’s Day 3 update along with Parkers pics at the end. I will add more pics to the slideshow as they are submitted. Anyone that attended the show that would like to share pics, send ‘em to admin”at”southernfriedg8r.com . – DK
Sunday morning was all about saying goodbye to Parker. We met Sam and kids in the hotel lobby during breakfast so we got to chat a little. Zack was de-punked as you will eventually see in my pics. I found out my plane will be delayed at least a day because of the snow storm, so hopefully you will see my pics sooner than later.
So I bid farewell to Parker Casablanca style, except it was a shuttlebus instead of a plane. Thanks bud it was great to finally meet with you. We will always have sushi with mayo memories. 
:dtu:
When I got back to the FFS I met back up with ChileheadEd who invited me to join him in a trip to Sante Fe. I asked him if we could do infamous burger dive, Bobcat Bites who some of the locals told us it was the place to eat at. We would later learn that their green chile cheeseburger was to die for, but we would never find that info ourselves because the place is only open from Wed-Sat. We moved onto plan B and called Jim Campbell for a quickie recommendation and he mentioned Pasquals.
We entered a small, but packed restaurant, and the only seats that were opened were at the community table in the center of the dining area. We decided while in Rome…(no not in ChileheadEd Rome). We ate and talked to tourists and locals and got a feel for the food, Sante Fe and a little of New Mexico culture. We got there for brunch, and the food was real good. I thought Ed’s sammich was the best thing I ate all weekend. It was chicken, cheese, sauteed onions on a cornbread-style sammich bread cut into pieces so they were finger friendly. I am sure there was more to the sammich, but Ed could tell you that and the type of cheese which I am guessing from memory was manchengo. All I know I wish I had ordered it as my meal. My meal was good too, but I would rather have had his. My dish was a New Mexican specialty of eggs, 3 chile sauces, black beans, cooked bananas, cheese, whole cilantro and a bunch of other vegeterian ingredients.
After brunch we strolled along historic old town Sante Fe moving in and out of unique shops. I wish we had more time to explore, but time was limited if we were to get back before the show was shutting down and buy some last minute fiery food goodies. Once I got my stuff, I gave it to Mike Cates of Hot Shots and he hooked me up again for the second year in a row and will ship me my bottles for me. Thanks Mike!
When the show ended I helped Sam and crew breakdown their booth and load it into their truck. I moved around helping those that needed a hand after they were close to finished. The show room quickly became a mess of poles, shelves and tables as products were boxed up and were loaded on pallets and dolleys.
Once the hard work was done, many of us shuttled off to Garduno’s for dinner. 52 people in all. Thanks goes to Big Dawg for organizing the list and setting it up. I wish I could’ve spent more time chatting with everyone, but I did have CaJohn to entertain our table which included Tony Legner, Sam, Tina and mini Max, Ed, Wicked Wanza(Sue), and couple which I didn’t know, but were friends of John and Sue. The food was good and the company was better. It took the restaurant a long time to serve us all food and the time we ate it was around 9:30pm.
Once we got back to the Sandia, I had to hurry to catch the hourly shuttle back to my hotel and gave quick goodbyes to all my dinnermates. When I got back I found out my plane was delayed, otherwise I would’ve stayed a bit longer. Now I am staying a bit longer just alone at the Staybridge. It sucks ass, but I will try to relax and treat the day like a vacation day.
Maybe I will have Day 4 if it is interesting enough. Otherwise, it was a fun trip meeting up with my good chilehead buds and spending quality time mostly with Parker, Ed, Brian and Alan of Infusion. Thanks all for making my trip worth going. Later!

:dork: loser now?
Right on Ed. The hotel I will be staying at Hilton Stamford. I will be there the 8-10th of Oct 2009. It says it is close to NYC, but I have never been there.
I think the poker game is on a Friday night
Bring lots of cash, we have a grudge match to settle
Oh ohm, we are now even, I hope that does not make us BI
FMK has been discussed for that weekend.
To much on my plate this year, so I can already say in advance that I won’t be at FMK in Oct…
thats pok, just make sure the 1st mate comes with the bucaneer bites.
Absolutely agree!
thank you Sir.
Hey DC, what’s the chance that you have or would ever make any more of the “old school” Habby Horse? First generation? I’m almost out.
I know, slim to none or less, right?
For more on the show you can watch my video podcast “New Mexicast.”
Fiery Foods story is set to be posted 3/13, and the great “:nerd:” will make an appearance.
Welcome to TTF!
Morning all, welcome RosaLinda. I live in Alamogordo. I will check out the cast this afternoon.
Thanks Rosa, I look forward to it. Welcome to TTF!
You look forward to becoming Great?
Like the “Great Pumpkin” or the Great Depression”?
Thanks for the warm welcome!
Xero, I haven’t yet done any stories in your area for New Mexicast (although I used to cover it a lot for KVIA 13 years ago), so if you have any ideas send them my way.
If you wanted to do a story, you can always do one on his salsa company. His Nice ‘n Hot salsa is by far one of my favorite salsas that I have ever had in this industry. His company is called Xerarch’s and you can check it out at his website CLICK HERE He is the one who help setup the Battle of Bottles- Love Edition for the Desert Farms Products’ “Cherry Amore” you interviewed their company for. You can find that review here if interested: CLICK HERE
maybe i missed something, but where does this podcast appear?
OK, I clicked on her name and it took me there….no need for further explanation, I will be waiting to watch!
My first thought was this.
CLICK HERE
Well
does kinda look like a muppet.
I second that
I 2rd it!
So is there a story behind the salsa, or are you thinking more of an ad on that company? I do sell ads on New Mexicast, but for a story I try to find an interesting character (or as in the case of the Fiery Foods show… LOTS of characters).
If there is a tale to be told do tell! Ideally, if I’m going to make the drive I’d like to find two or three stories to shoot in a day or two.
There is a story. The story of the American Dream coming to fruition.
During the day, I am a fire dispatcher and 911 operator for Holloman A:****:. Some people think that its odd for a german guy to be making mexican food.
I can ask around and see if I can come up with any other human interest stories for you.
Definitely sounds like a story to me. Especially if you can get me in to your dispatch center to get video of you at work.
That said, I had already talked to a salsa maker down in Las Cruces about doing a story there (they donated some salsa for the gift bag I’m giving away to a lucky viewer). Perhaps I could tie them in together. I don’t know how many salsa stories my viewers can stand. Or maybe I’ll do a salsa series starting with the Chiles in Hatch or something like that. Hmmm…
I’ll ask around for some other story ideas down there too. Military-related would be really good since I haven’t done that yet.
Whatever we come up with it will have to wait a few weeks since I am in Chicago right now. Let’s keep in touch.
RosaLinda, there is a guy here, Arizona Jack, that organizing hot sauce gift packs to our soldiers overseas. I am sure he can direct you if you are interested.
Theres lots of good stories around here (TTF and Alamogordo). I’m sure we can get you on base. I will talk to the chief. I will be in the Chicago area Apr 14-18 for EMD training. If the salsa maker in Cruces that you talked to is The Truck Farm, then they are my co-packers.
Thanks to all of you that watched the Fiery Foods story on New Mexicast. For those that haven’t seen it, I’m going to try to embed it here… Let’s see if it works…
QuickTime embed this video on your website by: vPIP Embed (copy & paste): close vPIP_setVisible(“divEmbedCode1237410607676″, false);
Nope, didn’t work. Probably too much code.
Well, anyway here’s the link to the Fiery Foods story in which
makes an appearance. Thanks to all of you for checking it out and putting your comments on the site:

Enjoy!
