BACKGROUND: The Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce festival began in 1990 and more than 100 gallons of hot sauce are consumed at the event every year. Area restaurants show off their hot and spicy foods at booths, and vendors set up shop to sell hot and spicy cookbooks and chili pepper memorabilia. Dallas can’t claim a hot sauce festival, but we do claim to be the home of Hot Sauce Harry - world-famous distributor of hot sauces with names like Bomb Saddam Mad Blast, EnWrong Shredded Sauce, Dynamite, Dead Heat, Hot Lips, and Predator-The Great White Shark!
Comedy Central's Daily Show taped a segment called "The Hot Sauce Cold War" at Hot Sauce Harry's Dallas Distribution Center in October 2000 and the company's gourmet hot sauces have been featured on the Emeril's Manly-Man Tailgate Special and in The Hot Sauce Bible by Dave DeWitt & Chuck Evans.What could be a more fitting location for a hot sauce festival box than a hiding spot near Hot Sauce Harry's?
(PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A RETAIL LOCATION - I BELIEVE ALL SALES ARE OVER THE INTERNET OR AT CONVENTIONS)
DIRECTIONS: Hot Sauce Harry’s offices are located in a small business park on Shady Trail, east of 35E and south of LBJ freeway. Find Walnut Hill and turn south onto Shady Trail Cross Manana and drive south until you reach Freewood. Between Freewood and Myrtle Springs Ave, you’ll spot a gravel road which looks like an alley. This alley leads to the Dallas City Cemetery. Though no longer an active burial ground it is believed to have been used for indigent and unknown persons between 1932 and 1972. You may drive down the alley, but please respect the grounds which begin at the far edge of the business park.
CLUES: Park your car (or yourself!) in the sheltered-from-view area between the buildings on the right and the trees on the left. Take about nine paces from the corner of the business parking lot towards the cemetery. On your left will be a group of 5 or 6 trunks/trees. Take another 7 paces and you’ll spot discarded tyres on the left. Find the last big tree on the left before the NE corner of the building (and the beginning of the cemetery). At the base is a root cavity containing the box – please replace and re-hide very well with bark and leaves.
Thanks, and may all your sauces be hot!
