description: In a late-night fit of desperation, burrito joint owner Dave Hirschkop discovered that super-hot sauce kept drunken patrons quiet or, better yet, drove 'em home. And so he embarked on a mission to create the hottest sauce in the universe. Enter capsaicin, the active ingredient in mace; exit drunkards and anyone too wimpy for Dave's new, insanely hot, hot sauce. And so begins the story of “Insanity Dave,” who has since created a line of sauces that redefine the word “hot.” Experience Dave's fiery concoctions in CRAZY FROM THE HEAT, with more than 100 flaming recipes piled high with habaneros, jalapeños, and the hottest sauces legal for human consumption. Brace yourself for a bowl of Screamin' Steamin' Seafood with Eye Popping Corn Cakes or Maniacal Mahi Mahi and Virulent Veggies. Or, for those quite satisfied with just plain hot, try Spicy Pork Empanadas, Chipotle Cheese Fondue, or Cranberry-Jalapeño Pork Loin. Then, once the dare has been downed, the milk chugged, and the chile flash subsided, you'll arrive at a new understanding of the word “hot” and a craving for heat in all that you eat.A heat rating is provided for each of the 100+ recipes (in case you want to make it hotter!)Insanity Dave has been featured in every major U.S. newspaper as well as on Good Morning America, the Today Show, CNN, and MTV. His hot sauces are distributed throughout the United States and in several foreign countries.Reviews“[Dave's] the most legendary hot sauce guru.” —Sunset magazine
