The last time I did a post on this subject, near the start of this blog, I casually referenced this place and noted it was in a Quilted Bear in the Newgate Mall of Ogden, Utah. Truth be told, it is a part of Quilted Bear, not a subset. The receipt says Quilted Bear, you pay Quilted Bear and Burn Your Tongue/Simply Spicy Stuff is just another of their vendors.
This is not to take anything away from both of them, who teamed up to do a really special and neat thing, but you are shopping at Quilted Bear and the hot sauce is basically almost dead center in the middle of the store. Selection covers the range of sauces from Louisiana style all the way to fruit style and from mild all the way to the extract-laden yuckfests with their stratospheric SHU ratings. It's all there, even if it often is just 1 bottle or so to represent a given area in the whole gamut.
The bottles are very competitively priced, to the point where if they had the selection, I would not ever need to utilize the web to order sauces. Given the somewhat miniscule selection of sauce lines, however, that is not quite the case, but the next go-around, I will be mining Chili & Max in Salt Lake rather than going online. I wound up with 10 different sauces, including another bottle of my Sauce Of The Year 2012, CaJohn's Happy Beaver, but I don't think it will be too long for that trip.
The service here is nothing short of phenomenal and I may wind up there again, just to deal with the wonderful girls at that place. That part was truly my pleasure and possibly I can see about ordering some sauces if I don't find something new that I haven't already tried, am able to eat and am interested. This, by far, is the best hot sauce shop in Utah and it's not really a hot sauce shop. The city of Ogden and its attendant chileheads are truly fortunate to have such a place. I wish we did here.
More of my thoughts can be found in my Yelp review on this business.
