Hot & Spicy (S16E10)

Get ready for a fiery adventure! Our journey begins at the McIlhenny Company in Louisiana, the home of iconic Tabasco sauce, followed by a visit to McCormick in Baltimore, the world's top spice producer. Next, we’ll head to Southern Mississippi for the exciting Chili Cook Off, where spice lovers gather. At the Chile Pepper Institute, you can sample the elusive "Bhut Jolokia," the hottest pepper on the planet, and discover how capsaicin creates its intense heat. At Michael Jordan's Sol Toro restaurant in Connecticut, diners must sign a waiver to enjoy the spicy offerings. Finally, we’ll explore how horseradish, wasabi, and mustard are crafted from their roots and seeds, and see how pepper spray packs a serious punch.
