I killed half a bottle of hot sauce during the heat wave.
Thursday was a real scorcher, especially when Binko’s Pymatuning Lake Chili Co., a Pittsburgh-based company, hosted a tasting event at Giant Eagle Market District at The Waterworks. One drop of their Coolhand Habanero Pepper Sauce was all it took to get me hooked.
I think my fellow shoppers had the same experience, because there was only one bottle of the stuff left on the shelf. Lucky for you, Binko’s products are available online and in seven Market District locations throughout the region.
Unless the extreme temperatures have fried your brain, you know that the supermarket chain was sold to Kroger, a corporation headquartered in Cincinnati, for a cool $1.65 billion. Does that mean Pittsburgh-made brands will evaporate from the inventory?…
