    He’s currently working on a hotter pepper too. They only sell the sauce right now, but I am hopeful they will sell the seeds eventually so I can try it. I’ve made some great hot sauce before with Carolina Reaper. I think it tastes great…but my sliding scale for hot peppers starts far higher than a normal person.

    I dub the Evel Ed [after Evel Knievel]. I have some seed left of the first batch of Carolina Reaper that you made available to the public [through Pepper Joe]. I even gave some to a local Mexican Restaurant that first year. And some to a Doctor who is with Visiting Physicians. [talking about that first year of harvest, not seeds]
